This is the closest you can get: 1. Visit several endpoints (`/asset/find?type={map}|{gamemode}`, `/menu/index`) and collect a list of orgs with their gamemode idents 2. Search that list for an org that matches the ident we're looking for 3. Visit `/asset/get?id={org}.{ident}` 4. Get the title & description for the org from this ## Player Counts Player accounts appear to use the Steam Lobby API; this means that an active Steam instance is required, using an account with access to s&box. To enumerate through lobbies, use [Steamworks.SteamMatchmaking.LobbyList](https://wiki.facepunch.com/steamworks/SteamMatchmaking.LobbyList).
