SteamAPI

Documentation

A list of all the methods SteamAPI provides is available here.

Breaking changes from 2.x to 3.x

• CommonJS Modules -> ES Modules
• Import using import statement instead of require()
• SteamAPI constructor now takes false as the first parameter if you don't want to supply a key
• Options for constructor have changes from { enabled, expires, disableWarnings } to { language, currency, headers, baseAPI, baseStore, baseActions, inMemoryCacheEnabled, gameDetailCacheEnabled, gameDetailCacheTTL, userResolveCacheEnabled, userResolveCacheTTL }
• Custom caching may be enabled by setting inMemoryCacheEnabled: false and setting <SteamAPI>.gameDetailCache/<SteamAPI>.userResolveCache. Must implement CacheMap<K, V> interface in src/Cache.ts
• getFeaturedGames() returns object instead of array
• Server#game -> Server#gameDir
• App IDs are passed as numbers not strings (although a string will probably still work)
• Any other changes to the API can be found in https://github.com/xDimGG/node-steamapi/blob/master/PORT.md

Setup

Installation

npm i steamapi

Getting an API Key

Once signed into Steam, head over to http://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey to generate an API key.

Usage

First, we start by making a SteamAPI "user".

import SteamAPI from 'steamapi';

const steam = new SteamAPI('steam token');

Now, we can call methods on the steam object.

For example, let's retrieve the SteamID64 of a user. SteamAPI provides a resolve method, which accepts URLs and IDs.

steam.resolve('https://steamcommunity.com/id/DimGG').then(id => {
	console.log(id); // 76561198146931523
});

Now let's take that ID, and fetch the user's profile.

steam.getUserSummary('76561198146931523').then(summary => {
	console.log(summary);
	/**
	UserSummary {
		steamID: '76561198146931523',
		avatar: {
