Question Get current map of steamid

[Techno]

How would you go about coding a method in which a steamid is within a config file, and upon a trigger it gets the server that the client is on, if at all, and then henceforth gets the map that the server is on. Planned to implement with twitch as a !map command.

This is one of those things that has multiple solutions, and even then won't always work. For example, CS:GO by default won't announce game server IPs to Steam friends, so you can't see what map someone is playing in CS:GO if they haven't enabled that client-side option. However, for games that do announce to Steam, this is probably the easiest way:

 

1. Call GetPlayerSummaries for the user in question to get their game server SteamID (e.g. "gameserversteamid": "90104923353593862",)

2. Call GetServerList to look up the data for that server (e.g. https://api.steampowered.com/IGameServersService/GetServerList/v1/?key=xxx&limit=1&filter=\steamid\90104923353593862)

 

This will give you the data for that server:
