# Other
## Finding an Org
There's no known endpoint for organizations. 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).
