A node.js wrapper for Valve's Steam Web API. Also supports the methods provided for TF2/TF2Beta/Portal.
Use of the API requires an API key, obtainable here.
This implementation is not supported, endorsed, or created by Valve - I'm just a fan. This is just a wrapper - all of Valve's terms and conditions for using their API still apply, see the Steam community developer page for additional information.
npm install steam-web
All methods accept a single options object. The key names match the query string parameters specified in the valve documentation. (Additional docs coming soon. For now, see usage and the valve documentation for any questions).
If using JSON for results (default), the result will automatically be parsed into a json object before being passed to the callback. Any other formats will return the raw data (xml or vdf).

var steam = require('steam-web');
var s = new steam({
apiKey: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
format: 'json' //optional ['json', 'xml', 'vdf']
});
s.getNewsForApp({
appid: 440,
count: 3,
maxlength: 300,
callback: function(err, data) {
console.log(data);
}
})
s.getGlobalAchievementPercentagesForApp({
gameid: 440,
callback: function(err, data) {
console.log(data);
}
});
s.getPlayerSummaries({
steamids: ['76561198037414410', '76561197960435530'],
callback: function(err, data) {
console.log(data);
}
})
s.getFriendList({
steamid: '76561197960435530',
relationship: 'all', //'all' or 'friend'
callback: function(err,data) {
console.log(data);
},
})
s.getSchema({
gameid: 440,
callback: function(err, data) {
console.log(data);
}
})
s.getPlayerItems({
gameid: 440,
steamid: '76561197960435530',
callback: function(err, data) {
console.log(data);
}
})
s.getAssetPrices({
appid: 440, //can also use gameid instead for convenience
callback: function(err,data) {
console.log(data);
}
})
There are two ways to use getAssetClassInfo. By default, the Steam API
wants a query string formatted as: ?classid0=1234&classid1=5678&class_count=2
As such, you can either manually generate the keys and call the method like this:
s.getAssetClassInfo({
appid: 440, //can also use gameid instead for convenience
classid0: '16891096',
classid1: 151,
class_count: 2,
callback: function(err,data) {
console.log(data);
}
})
OR, I've provided a convenience property so you can just pass an array of ids
(when using the convenience property, you don't need to pass class_count either)
s.getAssetClassInfo({
appid: 440, //can also use gameid instead for convenience
classIds: ['16891096',151],
callback: function(err,data) {
console.log(data);
}
})
####0.2.1
- Changed npm module to steam-web to allow https://github.com/seishun/node-steam to use steam npm module name, update your dependencies.
####0.1.3
- Implemented new API methods from 12/1/2011 update: getAssetClassInfo, getAssetPrices, and getFriendList
- Fixed bug where callbacks were fired twice for certain error events
- Added convenience property to getAssetClassInfo (classIds instead of forcing manual property generation)
####0.1.2
- Changed requirements to node >= 0.4.0
- Modified API so first argument of all callbacks is err (to correspond with standard practices)
- Additional error handling (though methods will return empty arrays if invalid ids are sent to steam
