Getting current game?

[QuestionRealQuick1]

How do you get the current gameS of you and your friends?

(including non-steam game)

[TomYoki]

For getting their Steam games you can use:

http://api.steampowered.com/IPlayerService/GetOwnedGames/v0001/

 

Non-Steam games are not real games, so you cannot get them using any official Steam methods.

Only way I can think of is scraping their profiles, yet that would be very unreliable and inefficient way to do it.

[QuestionRealQuick1]

You sure there isn't something like

new SteamID("STEAMID").getGames() ?

am not asking for API methods. asking inside the doctormckay steam community section

[Dr. McKay]

There's nothing in the steamcommunity module to get a user's games. Generally it doesn't include stuff for things you can do with the WebAPI.

[QuestionRealQuick1]

but you can't get the non-ingame name of a game?

 

am talking about what games the user is current playing

You should use GetPlayerSummaries to get what game someone is playing.

[QuestionRealQuick1]

yea but that don't show non ingame :/ thanks you anyways

[Dr. McKay]

How would you get the name of the game someone is playing if they're not in-game?

thats what am looking for meant non steam game.

[Dr. McKay]

That was originally in there, dunno where it went.

You can do it with steam-user:
 

const steamid = 123456;
client.getPersonas([steamid], personas => {
console.log(personas[steamid].game_name); // Non-steam game name
});
