Some product_info need authentication #31

Closed cirelli94 closed 3 years ago

Hello, I'm trying to understand if I can completely avoid authentication when I use the command $ steamctl apps product_info xxxxxxxxxxxxx. My goal is to find out the timeupdated of the public branch, but some AppID works well some other with --anonymous, some others don't with this error:

$ steamctl --anonymous apps product_info 1172620 | jq -r .depots.branches.public.timeupdated

[INFO] Attempting anonymous login
[ERROR] No license available for App ID: 1172620 (EResult.AccessDenied)

Am I doing this right? Is there any other way to find out if timeupdate has changed without authentication?

Thanks in advance.

You cannot "avoid" authentication. You need an account that has a license for the app you are looking up. Anonymous accounts only have access to https://steamdb.info/sub/17906/
