Definitely could.

I suggest to rename some fields:
"OsType" "OSType"
"Ip" "IP"
"Wm" "WM"
"Be" "AC" (as it's called Anti-Cheat in Soldat client)

That makes sense.

The soldat servers themselves don't provide the lobby with this information. You can reliabily get this information using REFRESH(X) over rcon, but that of course requires logging into each server.
Alternatively, I think it might be possible to use the tcp asset download port to grab logs/gamestat.txt without needing to authenticate. If this works then it would be possible to make this API interface provide players; however, this would only be on the individual server endpoints rather than the full list.

Yep, this works for grabbing gamestat.txt: https://wiki.soldat.pl/index.php/Download_thread
I'll see if I can implement support for that into this API on the server endpoints.

Just did it. If you tack on /players to the end of an individual server URL, it will attempt to download gamestat.txt from that server and show the parsed out players.

Yea, I meant precisely this thing.

Thanks! I really would love to see you build something with this API, even if it's something small.
