There is a exactly same issues post here : https://github.com/reu/omniauth-steam/issues/10 but I tried their solution, still did not figure out how to make it right. Wish someone can help me! Thank you!

If you use rails >= 4.1

here's solution for you ;)

create file omniauth.rb in /conifg/initializers/

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :steam, Rails.application.secrets.STEAM_WEB_API_KEY
end

Get your api key from http://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey and add line like this to your file /config/secrets.yml in each env.

STEAM_WEB_API_KEY: HERE_YOUR_API_KEY

Very nice @h4b00! I will try to make this more clear on the README
