We’re excited to announce that the Jest developer documentation is now publicly available at docs.jest.com.
This launch marks an important step in opening up our platform to developers everywhere. Whether you’re building your first game on Jest or scaling an existing experience, our documentation is designed to help you move from idea to launch quickly and confidently.
What You’ll Find in the Docs
We’ve structured the documentation to take you from high-level platform concepts to in-depth technical details and implementation guidance.
🚀 Introduction
Start here to understand what Jest is, how the platform works, and how the different components fit together.
📋 Requirements
Before you build, make sure your experience meets our:
- Technical requirements - platform, performance, and integration guidelines
- Gameplay requirements - design principles and product expectations
These ensure every game on Jest delivers a high-quality, consistent experience.
🧩 SDK
The SDK section is your implementation hub. It includes:
- Player - Accessing player data and identity
- Notifications - Engaging users at the right moment
- Entry payload - Handling contextual launches into your game
- Payments - Monetization and product configuration
Everything you need to integrate directly with the Jest platform lives here.
🛠 Developer Console
This section walks you through managing your presence on Jest:
- Manage games
- Manage builds
- Manage products
- Manage images
- Sandbox users
From configuring metadata to testing builds and monetization, this is your operational command center.
🧪 Testing
One of the common challenges with building on Jest is testing — since the platform is currently live only in the US. To address this, we’ve invested heavily in testing capabilities that make it easy to understand and experience how Jest works, regardless of where you’re developing from.
We’ve made testing straightforward and flexible:
- Testing locally with mocks
- Testing with the Jest hosted emulator
- Testing with sandbox users
Whether you’re iterating rapidly in development or validating production-ready builds, you’ll have the tools you need.
📚 Guides
Beyond the reference docs, our Guides section provides deeper insights into:
- Notifications best practices
- User acquisition strategies
These are designed to help you not just integrate with Jest — but grow successfully on it.
What Will You Build?
Our developer documentation is now live, and we’re inviting builders everywhere to explore the platform and start creating on Jest.
