steamscordbot

Discord Bot written in Python 3.8 using the Steamworks Web API to provide Steam user data through chat commands.

It depends on:

• discord.py

Features

• Resolve a vanity URL name into a Steam ID and display name
• List rarest or latest achievements of a public Steam profile
• List games most owned or recently played by friends of a public Steam profile

Prerequisites

• Get a Steam API key : https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey
• Get a Discord Bot Token : https://discord.com/developers/applications
  • Enable "Message Content Intent"

pip install steamscordbot

With Docker

docker pull esabouraud/steamscordbot

From source

A Steam user is identified by either:

• his unique steamid (e.g. 76561197971216318 in https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197968052866)
• his custom url (e.g. gaben in https://steamcommunity.com/id/gaben)

Supported commands are:

• achievements: Get achievements of a Steam user
• check: Perform a simple Steam API availability check
• friends: Get most owned or recently played games among friends of a profile
• help: Shows help message
• profile: Get profile info based on provided Steam vanity URL or steamid

Samples:

• !$check
• !$profile gaben
• !$achievements gaben rarest
• !$achievements 76561197968052866 latest
• !$friends gaben list 5
• !$friends 76561197968052866 owned 15

TODO

  • cannot be done, see limitations below.
• List rarest or latest badges of a public Steam profile
• List badges most owned or recently obtained by friends of a public Steam profile

Limitations

The User.profile() Discord API is forbidden to bots. This means the bot cannot leverage the Steam connected account even when it is available.
