Introduction to Extend SDK
Last updated on June 20, 2025
Overview
The AccelByte Extend SDK offers developers a streamlined way to interact with AccelByte Gaming Services (AGS) from backend systems or automation tools such as CI/CD pipelines. It is generated from the AGS OpenAPI specifications and provides core functionalities including authentication (login, token refresh, and validation), error handling, and HTTP request retries. It is available in several supported programming languages.
The primary distinctions between the Extend SDK and the Game SDK are:
- The Game SDK is intended to be used in game clients or dedicated servers; available in Unity and Unreal engine variants.
- The Extend SDK is designed for custom backend services, tools, or scripts that require direct integration with AGS.
