It's not JSON, but I guess you can use parse it and make use of that. It's simple HTML with table tags.

const dgram = require("dgram")

let text;
sock.on('error', (err) => {
console.log(`error:\n${err.stack}`);
sock.close();
});

sock.send(Buffer.from("0100FB01", "hex"), port, "ip")
Replace ip with server ip address
Replace port with server port
EDIT: Fixed the code!

Avo said, It's much easier. Mami Tomoe: Are you using pure lua or CS2D Avo's method.Off-topic: I personally recommend asking for such help in unreal software discord instead, there is a specificed channel for it. There are so many good developers who are experienced at that area and there are more active developers than in here.

I get Timeout.
Mami Tomoe? Even If It's complicated you will need to learn it in the future so why not now? We are here we can try our best to help you Gaios: it seems to happen when the IP and/or port is wrong or server is not reachable by USGN itself (due to high latency, I believe).Edit:
Mami Tomoe has writtenOkay and how do I download a file with Lua?

Note: It also shows some special characters If you don't want to, Just use regular expressions to avoid that.

http://www.unrealsoftware.de/inc_pub/serverinfo.phpPHP script is NOT a public API! You should NOT use it because I can't guarantee that this script will stay the way it is. It's very likely that it will be changed in future. That would break your stuff. Also it's not designed for mass requests. So it's a bad idea to call it often. Don't get me wrong: I don't mind if you use it (unless you plan to call it frequently, that would slow down my whole server) but it's not made for external use.
Moreover it's quite inefficient. What that PHP script does is requesting the info from the server directly via a UDP socket (that's what
The Dark Shadow explained). So when you use that you would have the full HTTP request with all its overhead in between for no good reason at all.In general the USGN is not required at all to get information from a server (as long as you have the IP already).
The recommended approach would be to get the server details directly from the server via UDP.
