Need some help about checking game time

TextDynasty · January 28, 2019

So I planned to write a script for the bot to have a background check. Is there a way using steam-user to find out specific user game time? (say like TF2). If so, what is the method? Thanks

I believe you can edit your own profile settings when it comes to play time, but I'm not sure there's a method that returns the play time for a specific game in any of McKay's modules.

You could however try to use the Steam Web API.

SnaBe is right, you'll want to use the WebAPI. There's no way to get a player's game time from a CM (via node-steam-user), and scraping the web is futile if there's just an API for it.

I found something like this on the site GetOwnedGames (v0001)

Arguments
//steamid
//The SteamID of the account.
//include_appinfo
//Include game name and logo information in the output. The default is to return appids only.
include_played_free_games
By default, free games like Team Fortress 2 are excluded (as technically everyone owns them). If include_played_free_games is set, they will be returned if the player has played them at some point. This is the same behavior as the games list on the Steam Community.
format
//Output format. json (default), xml or vdf.
//appids_filter
//You can optionally filter the list to a set of appids. Note that these cannot be passed as a URL parameter, instead you must use the JSON format described in Steam_Web_API#Calling_Service_interfaces. The expected input is an array of integers (in JSON: "appids_filter: [ 440, 500, 550 ]" )

So I tried with steam api key on but I cannot see TF2 in the json. I guess it is because of the "include_played_free_games", but I don't know why isn't it working

Thanks. I modified the code a little bit but still cannot get it working. Here is my code currently right now

var steamapi = '';
var steamid = '';

request('https://api.steampowered.com/IPlayerService/GetOwnedGames/v0001/?key='+steamapi+'&include_played_free_games=1&steamid='+steamid, function (error, response, body) {
    if(error){
        console.log(error);
    }else {
        var obj = JSON.parse(body);
        var games = obj.response.games;
        console.log(games);
        for (var i = 0; i < games.length; i++) {
            if(games[i].appid === "440"){
                console.log("HI");
            }else{
                console.log('NO'); //Here I got many NO. I assume it is where the problem starts
            }
        }
    }
});

Edit: Fixed. This code is working now

request('https://api.steampowered.com/IPlayerService/GetOwnedGames/v0001/?key='+steamapi+'&include_played_free_games=1&steamid='+steamid, function (error, response, body) {
    if(error){
        console.log(error);
    }else {
        var obj = JSON.parse(body);
        var games = obj.response.games;
        for (var i = 0; i < games.length; i++) {
            if(games[i].appid == "440"){
                var hours = Math.trunc(games[i].playtime_forever/60);
                var minutes = games[i].playtime_forever % 60;
                console.log('User played TF2 for '+hours+' hours, '+minutes+' minutes.');
            }
        }
    }
});

Another thing I would like to check is account creation time. I code a few lines and I would like to find out the current time - creation time to get an estimated time the account history. The problem is I don't know which format is it and how to get the number I wanted.

Using this code, I am able to find the user creation time.

//Check Steam Account Created Time
request('http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUser/GetPlayerSummaries/v0002/?key='+steamapi+'&steamids='+id, function (error, response, body) {
    if(error){
        console.log(error); //show errors
    }else {
        var obj = JSON.parse(body);
        var player = obj.response.players;
        for (var i = 0; i < player.length; i++) {
            if(player[i].steamid === id){
                time = player[i].timecreated
                console.log(time);
                var d = new Date(0); // The 0 there is the key, which sets the date to the epoch
                d.setUTCSeconds(time);
                console.log(d);
            }
        }
    }
});

timecreated is Unix time, which is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 (UTC). In JavaScript, Date.now() gives you the current Unix time in milliseconds, so to get the current Unix time in seconds, you'll do Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000). So to get the seconds since the account was created, you'd do Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) - player.timecreated.

Thanks that solved it. However, I faced another problem. My code right now will show errors when checking private backpack or profile, is there a way to prevent these errors and check these as well?

I'm sure there is.

Something is making Steam choke on this profile, so Steam is returning a 500 response. You should either check the status code (response.statusCode == 200), or wrap your JSON.parse call in a try/catch block (or ideally, both).

I added the check status code and it works.

So here's my code right now and I am adding a scoring system for background checking, I don't understand why the scores won't add up tho.

const requestReview = (offer) => {
    var user = offer.partner.getSteamID64();
    var score = 0

    client.chatMessage(config.bossSteamID, offer.id);
    client.chatMessage(config.bossSteamID, "--------------------------------");
    client.getSteamLevels([user], function(requests){
        var level = requests[user];
        client.chatMessage(config.bossSteamID, 'Steam Level: '+level);
        if(level > 10){
            score+=1;
        }
        console.log(score);
    });
    checkProfile(offer, score);
    checkHours(offer, score);

Dr. McKay · January 30, 2019

When you pass a primitive (number, string, etc.) variable to a function like that, changing it inside the function only changes it inside the function. It doesn't change everywhere.

TextDynasty · January 30, 2019

May I know is there a way to make the variable global so each function can change that, instead of making a long function with everything in it? I think it would be better and cleaner this way

Dr. McKay · January 30, 2019

With the way your code is currently set up, I would recommend doing it sequentially instead of in parallel. That is, when checkProfile finishes, call checkHours with that score. And when that finishes, do whatever you need to with the score.

You can't use await like that. In order for it to do anything, you need to return a Promise in the functions you're awaiting, and resolve that Promise with your score once they're complete.

I put the return promise to the function I am waiting but cannot resolve the issue

const requestReview = (offer) => {
    var user = offer.partner.getSteamID64();
    var score = 0;
    client.chatMessage(config.bossSteamID, "--------------------------------");
    client.chatMessage(config.bossSteamID, "User "+user+" sent an offer above 14 keys in value. Requesting manual review...");
    client.chatMessage(config.bossSteamID, "Offer ID");
    client.chatMessage(config.bossSteamID, offer.id);
    client.chatMessage(config.bossSteamID, "--------------------------------");

    backgroundCheck(offer,score);
}

function checkProfile(offer, score) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        request('http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUser/GetPlayerSummaries/v0002/?key='+config.steamapi+'&steamids='+offer.partner.getSteamID64(), function (error, response, body) {
        if (response.statusCode == 200){
            var obj = JSON.parse(body);
            var player = obj.response.players;
            for (var i = 0; i < player.length; i++) {
                if(player[i].steamid === offer.partner.getSteamID64()){
                    time = player[i].timecreated;
                    let second = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) - player[i].timecreated;
