Starting with the API

You'll need to get an API key here. Once you have that, you can create an instance of the module.

var SteamAPI = require('steam-web-api');
var steamClient = new SteamAPI('yourkey');

All of the following requests default to a format of 'json.' Other options are 'xml' and 'vdf' (Valve Data Format).

Getting news for an app

steamClient.getNewsForApp(440, function(err, res) { });

// alternative format, & a count of 5
steamClient.getNewsForApp(440, { count: 5 }, function(err, res) { });

Getting the global achievements overview of a game, in percentages

steamClient.getGlobalAchievementPercentagesForApp(440, function(err, res) { });

Getting some basic info for a group of steam Ids

// for a single Id
steamClient.getPlayerSummaries(76561197960435530, function(err, res) { });

// for multiple ids
steamClient.getPlayerSummaries([76561197960435530, 76561197970887648], function(err, res) { });

Retrieving a list of friends for a user

steamClient.getFriendList(76561197970887648, function(err, res) { });
