Overview

Electron APIs / gep

The Game Events Provider (GEP) APIs allow your app to subscribe to real-time in-game events and info updates from supported games. GEP detects when a supported game launches, tracks gameplay state, and emits structured events your app can react to.

Game detection

When a supported game is detected, the game-detected event fires. Call event.enable() inside the listener to activate GEP for that game. If the game is running with elevated privileges, the elevated-privileges-required event fires instead — your app must also run as administrator for events to be captured.

Features and info updates

Before events flow, call setRequiredFeatures with the feature names your app needs. GEP will only emit new-info-update and new-game-event events for features you have registered. Use getFeatures to query which features a game supports, and getInfo to read the current game state at any point.

Supported events

• new-game-event — a discrete in-game event (kill, death, match start, etc.)
• new-info-update — a change to a persistent game info value (health, score, map, etc.)
• game-detected — a supported game process was found; call event.enable() to start GEP
• game-exit — the tracked game process has exited
• elevated-privileges-required — the game is running as administrator
• error — an internal GEP error occurred
