Query server status in ASA

[arkark]

In ASE we could use Steam Query Protocol to get info (ping, users, name, and others..) of a server. Apparently this no longer works in ASA.

What is the new method to retrieve that information and where is the documentation? Some sites like battlemetrics already have it implemented.

Well, after searching and searching for information about this, I finally did what I should have done from the start, which is to check it out for myself.

In case anyone is interested, they have replaced the Steam protocol with the EpicGames API, so to get the server status, requests have to be made to the API.

The API is not public, and I haven't seen anywhere that you can request a key. However, very well known server metric services have been using it since the launch day of ASA without it seeming to be a problem for Wildcard.

I would appreciate it if a moderator could ask and inform me whether I have permission to post an example of using the API that includes the key I found, or if they could shed some light on how to request a key for the API. In my case, for instance, it's to help a friend with his website for his ASE and now also ASA cluster, which shows the server status, players connected, ping, etc. I also use it for myself, to check the server status once I've disconnected from a map (very useful to know if the server crashes within 15 minutes of disconnecting, before saving).
