Private Beta Branch

[1A3Dev]

Hello, I was wondering if there's any way to get the latest manifest id of a private beta branch if I have the app id, depot id, branch name & password?

Yes, use getAppBetaDecryptionKeys.

Yeah I did get as far as that, I use getAppBetaDecryptionKeys and store the response then do getProductInfo and the data from productInfo.apps[appId].appinfo.depots is:

{
  '3241661': { manifests: { public: [Object], beta: [Object] } },
  branches: {
    public: { buildid: '20785042', timeupdated: '1763126393' },
    beta: {
      buildid: '20947718',
      description: 'beta branch',
      timeupdated: '1764151547'
    }
  },
  privatebranches: '1'
}

which doesn't seem to include encryptedmanifests or the private branch? From what I understand from the docs it used to be the case that you'd use the decryption key against the encrypted manifest id from getProductInfo however that no longer seems to be returned?

 

Edit: I just checked via steam console and the app_info_print command seems to only show the private branch if I have it selected as the active beta and it's returned in manifests already decrypted not in encryptedmanifests... so it seems like steam have changed how it works?
