Currently the steam adapter check that validates that the profile is public or private matches on the string contained by the web page.

returns a specific response if profile is not public:
{"success":false,"Error":"This profile is private."}
This still requires Error string matching since the success can be false because of rate limiting. Also this endpoint is heavily rate-limited (only up to 4-5 req/min at time of writing), so its not usable at scale.
