Steam Web API

API

Access Steam game, user, and community data via RESTful endpoints

Overview

The Steam Web API offers RESTful endpoints to retrieve diverse Steam platform data, including user profiles, game libraries, achievements, app metadata, community market listings, and player statistics. Responses are in JSON format. Key endpoints include GetPlayerSummaries (user details), GetOwnedGames (user game lists), GetGlobalAchievementPercentagesForApp (game stats), and GetAppDetails (game info). Use cases range from building third-party game stats dashboards and integrating Steam data into gaming communities to analyzing player behavior trends and creating custom user profile tools.

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));
