What method are people using to list servers?

I’m not sure if I’m missing an API reference or if people are just using hack-y methods with Databases or HTTP-Service and web-scraping. But what is the method to get a list of servers on your game and the amount of players inside of each server?

I’m trying to compile a comprehensive system to match players up correctly to servers - but I’m not entirely sure (this being the first time I’ve used a multi-place model) so I have a few questions.

  1. How do you access a list of all the servers in your game and then their player-counts?

  2. Is there any built-in system to get variables from a place such as, the current map? Or would I have to use some form of HTTP / Database solution?

I’m just looking for possible API references, I’ve tried searching - but found nada. If there are none (yikes!) is there a some form of method that is optimal to use - from your past experience with the task? Or documented methods used by other developers?

Did you take a look at the Games API?

There’s a lot of methods to use if you select Games API v1

Did you search first?

I can find a lot of threads based on creating server lists from a search alone.
