      The Nakama API is the core REST and WebSocket API for Heroic Labs' open-source
      game backend server. It provides endpoints for user authentication (social,
      device, email, and custom), account management, multiplayer matchmaking,
      real-time gameplay via WebSocket, leaderboards, tournaments, group and
      friend management, in-app notifications, storage, and remote procedure calls
      (RPC). The gRPC interface mirrors the HTTP API and is suited for
      server-to-server integrations. Client SDKs are available for Unity, Unreal
      Engine, Godot, JavaScript, Dart, Java, Swift, C++, and Defold.
