8 years ago Hi Mateusz,
let me answer your questions one by one.
- Your first problem:
Okay this problem is resolved. Should be .includeAppInfo(true).buildRequest(); For all names but still is problem with game_count I don't know right now if it is normal in Steam Web Api because it is count of all games + DLC's. In my example it is FEAR + some dlc. Here I have some suggestion to you, maybe make in games category for DLC?
From what I understand you solved the problem yourself correctly by using include_appinfo parameter. In regards to your suggestion: I can see how that would certainly be useful but currently the purpose of the library is to provide the objects given by the library "as is". If I decide to provide additional information to the objects then I will need to distinguish these "supplemented" objects from the original ones given by the library. I will consider it, thank you for the suggestion!
- Your second problem:
And I receive these games but only with 2 attributes appId and playtime_forever. Here is one problem:
This can be fixed by using the include_appinfo argument as well:
http://api.steampowered.com/IPlayerService/GetOwnedGames/v0001/?key=MY_KEY&steamid=76561198033046525&format=json&include_appinfo=1This request yields the following:
{
"response": {
"game_count": 122,
"games": [
{
"appid": 10,
"name": "Counter-Strike",
"playtime_forever": 12056,
"img_icon_url": "6b0312cda02f5f777efa2f3318c307ff9acafbb5",
"img_logo_url": "af890f848dd606ac2fd4415de3c3f5e7a66fcb9f",
"has_community_visible_stats": true
},
[....]Note that the GetOwnedGamesRequestBuilder has an argument for include_appinfo for this.
- Your third problem:
game_count show wrong value, in this case shows 122 games where I have 118 on steam. - What is wrong here or what I didn't understand?
If this is indeed wrong, then it is a problem in the Steam API that I can't fix unfortunately. My own account has > 300 games as well so it's hard to verify. Maybe they use an unintuitive method of counting: for example, some games have Windows + Mac + Linux versions that will also appear as multiple entries in your Steam client even though it is technically "one game". Other games like Left 4 Dead 2 have an additional entry for "Beta" and so forth.
- Your fourth problem:
The last problem is with game Id. From upper list in JSON I tried to use a few ID's. For example here, ID=10 is for Counter Strike, so I tried to use again link from doc for SchemaGame:
This is definitely an issue with their web API. To get definitive correct information about a game given the ID you need to use the storefront API like this:
http://store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails/?appids=10Result:
{
"10":{
"success":true,
"data":{
"type":"game",
"name":"Counter-Strike",
"steam_appid":10,
"required_age":0,
"is_free":false,
"detailed_description":"Play the world's number 1 online action game. Engage in an incredibly realistic brand of terrorist warfare in this wildly popular team-based game. Ally with teammates to complete strategic missions. Take out enemy sites. Rescue hostages. Your role affects your team's success. Your team's success affects your role.",

[...]Unfortunately the storefront API works a little differently and I haven't gotten around to adding it to my library yet (see #2 ).
- Your fifth problem:
Why as the game name I got "ValveTestApp58610" not real name?
This is also an issue of the web API and can be solved in the same manner as problem 4 by using the storefront API like this:
store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails/?appids=58610Result:
{
"58610":{
"success":true,
"data":{
"type":"game",
"name":"Wargame: European Escalation",
"steam_appid":58610,
"required_age":0,
"is_free":false,
"dlc":[
58645,
58646,
58648,
58643
],
"detailed_description":"<strong>2 sides, 8 nations, and one battlefield: Europe!<\/strong><br>\t\t\t\t\t\tWargame: European Escalation is an intense and spectacular Real Time Strategy game, where realism and strategy are brought to the front lines. <br>\t\t\t\t\t\tWith a phenomenal range of vehicles and units (over 350 different models), build your army and enter a huge military campaign across Europe of the 80's, as the Cold War is about to become World War 3.<br>\t\t\t\t\t\tWith the powerful IRISZOOM \u2122, Wargame offers breathtaking graphics and battles as spectacular as they are strategic.

[....]- Final remark: I will add support for the storefront API soon-ish™ in what will likely by version 2 of this library - stay tuned :wink:
If you habe more questions, please ask.
For now, merry x-mas to you and your family! :christmas_tree: :santa:

Hello,
I started work with your code but I have a few problems, I don't understand where is the problem so I hope you can help me. So,
At the beginning I wanted test how works the game list. I did it:
Here I want to extract MY games list and I want to show GameId and name BUT in result I get ID's where each name is NULL:
It is my first problem - Why I can't see name of all games?
Okay this problem is resolved. Should be .includeAppInfo(true).buildRequest(); For all names but still is problem with game_count I don't know right now if it is normal in Steam Web Api because it is count of all games + DLC's. In my example it is FEAR + some dlc. Here I have some suggestion to you, maybe make in games category for DLC?
Now is next problem much strange with documentation, maybe you can explain it to me. So, I tried to use links from doc to get full list of my games:
And I receive these games but only with 2 attributes appId and playtime_forever. Here is one problem:
game_count show wrong value, in this case shows 122 games where I have 118 on steam. - What is wrong here or what I didn't understand?
The last problem is with game Id. From upper list in JSON I tried to use a few ID's. For example here, ID=10 is for Counter Strike, so I tried to use again link from doc for SchemaGame:
And in result I see this:
For other example with other random ID I see this:
and in result I got this:
Why as the game name I got "ValveTestApp58610" not real name?
Could you explain me where is the problem or what I did wrong? For clarity, I have correct key and my profile is public on steam.
