Ok thanks.

Just a follow up. Is scraping still the only way to get comments?

(especially from /commentnotifications/)

Hey guys,

Using node-steamid at the moment. Wanted to test if a user's input is a valid SteamID but it just throws an error when it can't parse the input.

Is the best way to just try catch and then call isValid()?

Is it safe to run on user input?

Thanks

Bump(ish).

Is there an actual library for interacting with the steam discussion forums?

E.G. Subscribing, posting updates, etc. to game forums.

Deleting posts, making/pinning threads, etc.

Just noticed it doesn't happen when I use ASF. Must be something I'm doing. Idk I'll keep fiddling.

What happens if you don't mark the bot online?

Just tested. The same thing happens. Have to sign out of steam friends in the client and sign back in to fix.

That's pretty interesting. I've never seen that before. What happens if you make your bot go online with setPersona? Although that will make you appear in-game.

That is with the bot marking online with setPersona.

I think this happens because you login elsewhere. This also happens if you login on two computers, using the steam client

Yeah sounds about right. Is there any way to avoid it?

Using a bot to idle my account while I'm not playing. Whenever the bot logs into my account it makes all my friends appear offline in the steam client (until you relaunch steam client, they update their status or you exit the bot).

Is there any way to avoid this?
