Server Friend Request Resource

Friend Request

One of the features in Geometry Dash is the friend system which allows players to add each other as a friend. It is part of a poorly developed social System in which players can send messages to each other.

The server response returns a User String in a response which is structured with a key:value:key:value pairing. Each friend request string is then split with a |

Friend Request Example

1:TheWylieMaster:2:84696119:9:9:10:5:11:3:14:1:15:0:16:9276649:32:45272143:35:aGVsbG8=:41:1:37:1 week

Each key is tied to a component within the client and the value sets data for the specific component.
A list of all known keys can be found in the table below

Friend Request Structure

Note: We will use “other user” to describe the user on the other side of the friend request, be it the receiving end or the sending end.

Key	Name/Value	Type	Description
1	userName	String	The username of the other user
2	playerID	Integer	The player ID of the other user. This is different than the account ID
9	icon	Integer	Which icon the other user is using, starting with 1 as the first icon
10	playerColor	Integer	The other user’s primary player color, presumably ordered cronologically from left to right per update
11	playerColor2	Integer	The other user’s secondary player color, presumably ordered cronologically from left to right per update
14	iconType	Integer	The other user’s icon type indexing an array of icon, ship, ball, ufo, wave, robot, spider
15	glow	Integer	Either 0 or 2, might be related to glow
16	accountID	Integer	The other user’s account ID. This is different than the player ID
32	friendRequestID	Integer	An ID unique to each friend request. (I’m not 100% certain on this)
35	message	String	The friend requests’s message, encoded in base64
37	age	String	How long ago the friend request was sent (e.g. “2 months”)
41	NewFriendRequest	Bool	if the friend request is new

Trivia

• By sending yourself a friend request through 3rd party tools, you can actually block yourself. Doing so doesn’t have any serious consequences as you can see in this video by Cvolton
