get_bootstrap

Fetches all auto-download content in a single flat response.

Signature

get_bootstrap() -> void

What it does

GETs /gamecontent/bootstrap. payload is a flat envelope Dictionary with { schema_version, generated_at } plus every always_download key at the top level. Empty Dictionary on failure. Server rate-limited to 10 requests/min, so call it once (e.g. on a loading screen), not in a loop.

Parameters

This function takes no parameters.

How to call it

Connect bootstrap_loaded first, then call get_bootstrap().

Example

Gamdato.bootstrap_loaded.connect(_on_bootstrap)
Gamdato.get_bootstrap()

func _on_bootstrap(payload: Dictionary) -> void:
    if payload.has("levels"):
        _load_levels(payload["levels"])

Use cases

• Load every auto-download asset at once on a loading screen.
• Grab the full always_download set in one request instead of per-key calls.
