getSteamUser throwing error

[harsh]

whats wrong , i am running it through list of steamids.

Here is my code:-

function checkVacID(){

    friend_list = friends;

    friend_list.forEach(function(key, index){ 
        community.getSteamUser(key, (err, user) => {
                if(err) { 
                    console.log("there was an problem to get the steam user!"+err) 
                    return; 
                }
                else
                {
                    if(user.vacBanned == true)
                    {
                        console.log(`${user.name} VAC Banned Profile`);  
                    }
                }
            });
    });
}

Sounds like you aren't providing valid SteamIDs.

No steam IDs list are fine I tested by printing.

If I test with single steam id it works but not in loop.

[Dr. McKay]

It could be that you're running into rate limits.

Checking multiple users for VAC bans is better done with the WebAPI.

[harsh]

Ok but as i know the web api limits rate to 100ids per request so any bypass?

[Dr. McKay]

Make multiple requests. steamcommunity.com has stricter limits.
