Hi there GameTracker community!
I just wanted to know if there's a legal way to include the search results.
I wanted to list up all the servers that run my map.
Thnaks in advance

Hello,

There is currently no API's available that would allow you to do this.

What you can do is go to http://www.gametracker.com/servers/, choose "Server current map" for Search By, enter the map name under Matching, and then the appropriate game. Then, you can copy the URL and direct people to that page.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

Am I allowed to include the search result page in my website (e.g. with an iFrame)? I will link back to the gametracker site ofc.

Hello,

It wouldn't be much different than just linking to the site, but I personally don't believe putting full external websites in an iFrame is helpful. Your users will trust your site more if you just link to it.

For example, would you you completely trust GameTracker if there was a "facebook plugin" somewhere on the site that was simply facebook.com embedded in an iFrame? (I don't mean any of the social plugins) I would feel sketchy about it because I would have to 1) verify that this is the actual facebook website and 2) determine if they are trying to exploit it in any way before I type my password or other information.
