// Snapshots
maven("https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/")
// Releases
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compileOnly("com.github.4drian3d:epicguard-api:[VERSION HERE]")
}
Gradle (Groovy)
repositories {
maven {
url = 'https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/'

Using the API
Make sure that EpicGuard is fully loaded before your plugin.// Importing the API class.
import me.xneox.epicguard.core.EpicGuardAPI;
import me.xneox.epicguard.core.manager.AttackManager;
public class EpicGuardAPIExample {
// Accessing the EpicGuardAPI instance.
EpicGuardAPI api = EpicGuardAPI.INSTANCE;
// Obtaining the AttackManager instance:
AttackManager attackManager = api.attackManager();
// Checking if server is under attack.
boolean isUnderAttack = attackManager.isUnderAttack();
// checking current connections per second.
int cps = attackManager.connectionCounter();
// Checking user's country:
String countryId = api.geoManager().countryCode("127.0.0.1");
