Frequently asked Questions

Q:  Why is authentication needed for certain endpoint/methods while others are public?

A: Certain features of my API might be sensitive because it allows longitudinal tracking of video game cheat users. We should not forget that behind every tracked account, there is a human which this could be used against. For this reason, i have decided to restrict full database insight in order to avoid large scale tracking operations with a dataset i was partly responsible for.

Our Legacy Endpoint will never require any form of authentication. It serves as a public demonstration. 

Q: How accurate is your data?

A: Our internal backend aggregates various information and attempts correlation by sampling various data sources:

  • the backend of a popular video game cheat provider for Team Fortress 2: LMAOBOX Premium.
  • steam API

While it is possible to forge fake records into this tracker, doing so requires somebody to reverse engineer LMAOBOX enough to understand how it facilitates its cheater coordination service. It might certainly be enough for use as an information asymmetry advantage. Whether its court proof evidence? Totally not!
