What public data a FiveM server exposes
A field-by-field guide to identity, runtime, players, resources, variables, network, and source provenance.
FiveM servers publish useful operational facts through several interfaces, but no single interface is complete. cfxfind normalizes those responses into a stable snapshot while preserving provenance, redaction, and availability so readers can distinguish a direct public fact from a possible technical signal.
Identity and capacity
Project name, description, locale, tags, map, game type, player count, and capacity can be published by different server documents. Player names are public display values at that moment; only server-local numeric IDs are retained, never persistent platform identifiers. cfxfind resolves only public evidence. A CFX code is checked through the public join service; a server endpoint is then queried through its published JSON routes, while DNS and RDAP describe the public network. Each source keeps its own status, so one successful source never hides a timeout elsewhere.
Runtime and technology evidence
Build values, resources, and public convars can explain compatibility or framework signals. Technology detection labels direct resource evidence separately from possible convar evidence. Secret-like variable keys are redacted rather than exported, displayed, logged, or copied into source inspection. Every result is a live snapshot, not a stored server history. Values can change immediately after the check, and a timeout means that a source could not be verified within the deadline. It does not establish that the game server is offline, empty, misconfigured, or permanently unreachable.
Network and provenance
The network view separates endpoint, DNS, allocation, and registration fields. The source view records stable status, duration, and normalized evidence for every attempted source, allowing a partial response to stay useful without exposing raw upstream bodies. The lookup never needs a player account, server password, RCON credential, or private address. Restricted targets are blocked, sensitive convars are redacted, and only server-local player IDs may appear. Use the evidence for diagnosis, then confirm administrative conclusions with systems you control.
FAQ
Does a missing value prove that the server is offline?
No. Missing data can result from a timeout, a disabled public route, a changed endpoint, or a temporary upstream failure. Read the source status and checked time before drawing a conclusion.
Does cfxfind keep a history of these results?
No. The service returns a current public snapshot and briefly caches successful lookups for performance. It creates no account and stores no lookup history for later profiling.
