Description

GameQuery Server Lists is a free, open-source WordPress plugin released under GPL-2.0-or-later.
It is built for gaming blogs and community websites that want a fast, reliable way to promote game servers.

With this plugin, a site owner can add server addresses, select the game, and publish a server list in minutes.
Lists can be embedded anywhere with shortcodes and integrated in widget areas across pages.

WordPress admins can embed lists with:

[wpgs_list_123]
[wpgs_list id="123"]

Key features include:

One-click secure GameQuery account connection with API key selection.
Multi-game list support with templates and background refresh via WP-Cron.
Built-in analytics for views and clicks.
Campaign goal automation that can auto-hide a server list after owner-defined click/view limits are reached.

External services

This plugin connects to GameQuery services for account connection, server data fetching, and game catalog lookup.

GameQuery API (https://api.gamequery.dev) is used to fetch server payload data and the games catalog.
- Data sent on server fetch requests: configured game_id values, configured server IP:PORT values, API account email, API token, and selected API plan.
- Data sent on games catalog requests: no user identifiers or personal data; only a GET request for available games.
- Trigger: when list cache is refreshed (WP-Cron or cache miss) and when games catalog cache refreshes.
- Terms of Service: https://gamequery.dev/terms-of-service
- Privacy Policy: https://gamequery.dev/privacy-policy
GameQuery account service (https://gamequery.dev) is used when an admin connects an account from plugin settings.
- Data sent: site URL, admin URL, plugin version, PKCE/session metadata, and temporary authorization/session tokens during the connect flow.
- Trigger: only after an admin clicks the connect button.
- Terms of Service: https://gamequery.dev/terms-of-service
