# Votes Endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
Real-time popularity voting. Bots or integrations send votes during live gaming sessions. Votes are matched to the currently-playing game using timestamp intervals.
|
||||
|
||||
## Endpoint Summary
|
||||
|
||||
| Method | Path | Auth | Description |
|
||||
|--------|------|------|-------------|
|
||||
| POST | `/api/votes/live` | Bearer | Submit a live vote (up/down) |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## POST /api/votes/live
|
||||
|
||||
Submit a real-time up/down vote for the game currently being played. Automatically finds the active session and matches the vote to the correct game using the provided timestamp and session game intervals.
|
||||
|
||||
### Authentication
|
||||
|
||||
Bearer token required. Include in header: `Authorization: Bearer <token>`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Request Body
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|
||||
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| username | string | Yes | Identifier for the voter (used for deduplication) |
|
||||
| vote | string | Yes | `"up"` or `"down"` |
|
||||
| timestamp | string | Yes | ISO 8601 timestamp when the vote occurred |
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"username": "viewer123",
|
||||
"vote": "up",
|
||||
"timestamp": "2026-03-15T20:30:00Z"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
- Finds the active session (single session with `is_active = 1`).
|
||||
- Matches the vote timestamp to the game being played at that time (uses interval between consecutive `played_at` timestamps).
|
||||
- Updates game `upvotes`, `downvotes`, and `popularity_score` atomically in a transaction.
|
||||
- **Deduplication:** Rejects votes from the same username within a 1-second window (409 Conflict).
|
||||
|
||||
### Response
|
||||
|
||||
**200 OK**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"success": true,
|
||||
"message": "Vote recorded successfully",
|
||||
"session": { "id": 3, "games_played": 5 },

|
||||
"timestamp": "2026-03-15T20:30:00Z"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
