A basic reference for Gaiaonline's Game System Interface API.

API Reference

The Gaia Online Game System Interface (GSI) is an internal, public-facing HTTP API. Its primary use is for the support for games on Gaia Online. It is also a general-use API for other various systems such as market and user data etc. There is no OAuth, or authentication of any kind, apart from some methods that require you to be authenticated on Gaia Online, or to pass a session when prompted.

This was ported from some very old code, I was unsure it'd work, but with some tinkering, I managed to get it to work. The substring stuff is not really ideal, but it works. Pretty funky stuff.
import zlib
import enum
# Generate absolute value crc32 -> 64bit.
def abs_crc32_64bit(value: str) -> int:
crc = abs(zlib.crc32(value.encode()))
if crc & 0x80000000:
crc ^= 0xFFFFFFFF
crc += 1
