Server API

[Ostap]

Hi everyone

Due to last changes in server scanning policies
I've offered to share all public data via an API (Application Programming Interface)

At the moment there is nothing implemented

If someone is interested - please post your ideas / requests for what kind of info should go into the response contents
The idea is to dump everything at once ...in a single request (JSON format)

Good news everyone

server status API is ready and available at:

http://api.42amsterdam.net/_status_.php

----------------------------------------------------------------------------




anyone who's interested can use it
At the moment - it is wide open - but later will be restricted to users with "user_agent" set to "42_API_CLIENT"
in order to shed off any unwanted bots and crawlers that might stumble on that link

Generated JSON contains both 42 and external servers info for all FE/SE/SS2 servers ...all at once

Will this affect temporary servers?

Will this affect temporary servers?

any game server that uses 42amsterdam master server will be listed

And if you referring to 33Networks master server - no - both master servers will work as before.
Latest ban only valid for their website (seems they have many)

I want to say the following example. I run a server and invite friends (and who else has come), will this server be visible? I turn it off after the game. That's my question.

P.S.
I'm not excited about 333 and things like that. I'm asking about 42amsterdam.

There is absolutely nothing changed in this mater
there are 2 master servers and both working just fine ...as before

What were banned - is a website of 333networks that issued a full scan each time user visited their server list
Thy do the scan to show number of players per server (if any) - its just an additional info
For the rest - their website works just fine still - all servers are visible -
(only no live data for current players in game will displayed if they wont fix it as i proposed)

Funny though - they do have sort of same API on their site for everyone to use
but ignored my request



Fine - so be it !
