HolidayExplanation Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Is there a way to fetch certain data like the Steam Profile Name and Steam Avatar, if the Profile is Public, Steam Level, Ability to Invite Friends etc. and fetch it from Steam via Steam-User or is that something I would have to do without Steam-User via Steam Web API?

Dr. McKay Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 I don't think you can request profile data for arbitrary users without you being friends with them (or being in the same group chat) via steam-user.

HolidayExplanation Posted August 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Thank you for the info! I went ahead and found a way using NPM request and the Steam API after reading your answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamGuy Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Could you provide your solution on how you did this? I would like to find the Steam ID from the username. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to find the Steam ID from the username. That's almost impossible, unless you have a very unique name. The reason it wouldn't work is because anyone can have the same username as anyone else. Unless you're talking about the login username. I don't think you can, because that's hidden from everyone apart from the owner of the account itself. Dr. McKay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
