Steam

API

Access Steam game data, user profiles, and stats via REST API

Overview

The Steam Web API provides RESTful endpoints to retrieve Steam platform data, including game details (titles, genres, pricing), user profiles (summaries, friends), achievements, leaderboards, and store listings. Responses are JSON-formatted. Use cases include building stats trackers, integrating Steam data into community platforms, creating custom game libraries, or analyzing market trends. Most endpoints require an API key and have rate limits; key endpoints include GetPlayerSummaries (user info) and GetOwnedGames (user’s library).

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://steamapi.xpaw.me/')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
