There are multiple query protocols, like https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Server_queries
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

Appreciate it. Do you know how to achieve that? PHP, I'm assuming? Would I just ping the query port or what?

There should be numerous examples out there for whichever game / protocol you are looking for, such as at the bottom of the page or via a simple google search.
