Acessing contents of "Join Game" button on profile

[Morgyn]

Hi,

Would it be possible to have an interface to grab the server that someone is connected to with the green "Join Game" button.
 

<div class="profile_in_game persona in-game">
	<div class="profile_in_game_header">Currently In-Game</div>
	<div class="profile_in_game_name">
		Rust </div>

	<div class="profile_in_game_joingame">
		<a href="steam://connect/1.2.3.4:12345" class="btn_green_white_innerfade btn_small_thin">
			<span>Join Game</span>
		</a>
	</div>
</div>

Above is the section of code that contains the button, I'm not sure if this is out of scope of this library.

Thanks!

I have just noticed from the source you pull from the xml version.
 

<inGameServerIP>1.2.3.4:12345</inGameServerIP><inGameInfo>
<gameName>Rust</gameName>

You can get that data using GetPlayerSummaries.

[Morgyn]

So implement node-steam instead? I really don't want to have to implement authentication for something that's just public.

Would you be against me submitting a pull request if I add this to node-steamcommunity? Should be fairly trivial as you're already pulling the data.

[Dr. McKay]

Why would you need to authenticate? Just use an API key.

[Morgyn]

Sorry I misspoke, apikey rather than authentication.

I would rather not to have to either use both or reimplement in node-steam when I know the data is right there in the xml query that node-steamcommunity is already using.

I've made a basic first pass that extracts the info I need:

[Dr. McKay]

Those xml endpoints are pretty unreliable and anything that uses them should probably be considered deprecated. Using the WebAPI for anything that it covers is going to be your best bet.

[Morgyn]

I understand.
