Isn't it against alliedmodders forum rules? Well, as moderators are doing nothing about that, I've spent some time testing possible solutions (idk if it's the same method used in above plugins - but probably it is).
Latest public information is in this post, indicating that the web documents aren't a part of the GPL as required by the SourceMod license, and therefore, such "web API's" are not required to be released at all.

With a current position of having moderator / plugin approver abilities, I'm not acting (e.g. removing, un-approving, .. etc) such threads/plugins due to this.

If things are going to change, where AM won't officially support those kind of "half-released" plugins (without the html/.php's etc), as some appear to name them, I will of course act accordingly to any new kind of techniques / policies that may be introduced in the future.

But at the time of writing this, external things the plugin doesn't require to compile/run isn't required to be shared / GPL licensed either, as mentioned in the post linked above.
