Overview
The Steam Web API lets developers access public data from the Steam platform, including player profiles, game ownership, achievement stats, and the store catalog. An API key is free and easy to obtain through the Steam developer portal. It is widely used for building gaming dashboards, leaderboards, and Steam profile widgets.
Beginner Tip
All user-specific endpoints require the player Steam ID, a 17-digit number. Users can find their Steam ID in their profile URL or by using a tool like steamid.io.
