¹ Valve's principal servers are rate limited. If you do not use additional filters to only retrieve matching servers, you will get blocked/timed out. You can pass filters via the -f/--filter argument, e.g. use -f "\dedicated\1\password\0\empty\1\full\1" to only retrieve dedicated servers without a password which are neither full nor empty. You can find a full list of filter options here (the \appid\ filter is applied automatically).
