Programmatically add star to build in UGS

Hi - we currently add badges to our builds in UGS by making a call to the included PostBadgeStatus.exe.

Is it possible to programmatically utilize the “Add Star” functionality in UGS too? We don’t want to use the GUI in this instance as the process is automated, but we would like to be able to call something similar to PostBadgeStatus.exe that will add a star to the build in UGS.

Thanks!

Hey there Stephanie,

Thanks for this question - it’s a great one. If your UGS is using the Horde metadata server (which if you’re on a relatively new release with 5.5, I’d expect so), it appears s though UGS’s event monitor will be pushing this to the backend here, with the “heavy” lifting being done here. That’s all to say, you should be able to more or less hit the Horde metadata API accordingly to programmatically set this (POST: /ugs/api/metadata).

I hope this helps (there was no Unreal Engine version listed - assuming 5.5 here).

Kind regards,

Julian
