Server browser

The server browser is available at https://sam.markski.ar

It consumes the public API endpoints listed below.

Masterlist

We offer a masterlist alternative, at http://sam.markski.ar/api/GetMasterlist.

You may specify a version parameter. Example: http://sam.markski.ar/api/GetMasterlist?version=0.3.7

It is a relatively high-quality masterlist: It is both automatically and manually pruned of repeated and illegitimate servers regularly. It omits servers which are password protected or have been offline for more than 6 hours.

To ensure fairness, the position of every server in the list is shuffled every 30 minutes.

If you wish to use SAMonitor's masterlist in SA-MP, check out SA-MP Masterlist Fix!

API Endpoints

All of these endpoints are located at http://sam.markski.ar/api/.

GetAllServers

Return a collection with the latest information of every server SAMonitor tracks.

Try it: http://sam.markski.ar/api/GetAllServers

GetFilteredServers

Returns the list of servers, but with specified filtering.

By default, it'll omit severs with 0 players.

Parameters, all of which are optional:

  show_empty:
   - Possible values: 0 or 1. If 1, it will include servers with 0 players.

  order:
   - Possible values: "none", "players", "ratio". If unspecified, "none".

  name, gamemode, version, language:
   - Possible values: Any specified text. This is basically a search.

  hide_roleplay:
   - If specified 1, hide roleplay servers.

  require_sampcac:
   - If specified 1, only get servers where SAMPCAC is required.
  
  paging_size:
   - Provide any number greater than 0 to do paging.
     If specified, only this amount of entries will be returned.

  page:
   - Provide any number greater or equal than 0.
     Specifies the page, to be used along with paging_size.

Try it: http://sam.markski.ar/api/GetFilteredServers?name=Roleplay&order=player

GetServerByIP

Provided an IP address (optionaly with a specified port), returns information about it.

If no port is provided and several servers are under that IP, the one at 7777 will be chosen.

Try it: http://sam.markski.ar/api/GetServerByIP?ip_addr=151.80.19.151:7777

GetServerPlayers

Provided an IP address (optionaly with a specified port), return a list of players.

Try it: http://sam.markski.ar/api/GetServerPlayers?ip_addr=51.68.204.178:7777

GetGlobalStats

Receive counts for amount of servers tracked, amount of servers online, and amount of players playing in them.

Try it: http://sam.markski.ar/api/GetGlobalStats

NOTE: GetTotalPlayers and GetAmountServers are deprecated and will be removed in the future.

GetGlobalMetrics

Providing an amount of hours, get metrics for global count of players and servers in the last given hours.

If no hour is provided, defaults to 6.

Try it: http://sam.markski.ar/api/GetGlobalMetrics?hours=6

GetServerMetrics

Providing an IP address and an amount of hours, get metrics for the count of players in the last given hours.

If no hour is provided, defaults to 6.

Try it: http://sam.markski.ar/api/GetServerMetrics?hours=6&ip_addr=51.68.204.178:7777

NOTE: By default, returns no entries for times a server failed to respond to a query. To have these, use include_misses=1. These are marked with a player count of -1, and can be used to (somewhat loosely) track downtime.

Data schemas

There are two schemas: Player and Server.

The player schema is used for GetServerPlayers. It is the simplest schema, and will likely never change.

  id:    Integer
  ping:  Integer
  name:  String
  score: Integer

The server schema is likely to change as SAMonitor is fairly in-development. However breaking changes are unlikely and it might just come in the form of adding more fields.

  success:       Boolean
  lastUpdated:   DateTime
  worldTime:     DateTime (only the Time portion has the relevant data)
  playersOnline: Integer
  maxPlayers:    Integer
  allowsDL:      Boolean
  lagComp:       Boolean
  name:          String
  gameMode:      String
  ipAddr:        String
  mapName:       String
  website:       String
  version:       String
  language:      String
  sampCac:       String (Version of SAMPCAC required. "Not required" otherwise.)

The API should never return any null values. Either '0' or "Unknown" would come in their placee where appropiate, or at worst, an empty [] response. Still, because bugs can exist, you may wish to account for the possibility of 'null' returns.

Add your server

You may add your server through the option at the SAMonitor website. I'll be writing an 'announce.pwn' type thing in the future.
