[MrPotato]

[MrPotato]

i dont really know how can i do this, how can i get chat room id?

[MrPotato]

is possible with node-steam-user or node-steamcommunity?

[MrPotato]

also

user.joinChat('103582791438529221', function(result){
	console.log(result);
});

returns 'Limited'

I'm currently facing the same "issue". I tried to find the cid on the browser source, console, json responses. Unfortunately without any luck.

This sounds a lot like spam.

I don't believe it's currently possible with new Steam chat.

This sounds a lot like spam.

 

My intention was to fetch the latest post from a sub-reddit and submit it to a dedicated steam channel (like a news channel)...

Steam itself is providing already a decent counter measure for spam bots anyway ;-)

I noticed that limited accounts are able to join and post message on group chat/channels. Hence, I fully support you that this is indeed a method that could be abused. I'm astounded that steam restricted all community features, but yet, they left the most essential feature wide open to spammers and spreaders.
