customurl2steamid64

VERY simple NodeJS module to get a user's steamID64 based on customURL. No API key needed.

What's this for?

This module will allow you to get the SteamID64 for any Steam player, as long as the target profile is public.

But why?

I couldn't find this utility for a project I'm working on, so I decided to write it myself and learn some NodeJS in the process.

Is this officially supported?

Not by Valve Software by any means. I'm just a fan. I'll try to support development of this library for as long as I can

Cloning

$ git clone https://github.com/yllanos/customurl2steamid64.git

Installing

Using npm:

$ npm install customurl2steamid64

Testing

$ node test.js

(You should get this number on your console): 76561198008252756

You could also alter this file on variable 'username' to whatever Steam user you wish to test

Integration example (steam-web)

Using the test file above as template, we are going to integrate with the steam-web library. Please update your code with your own API key

var getSteamID64 = require('../lib/steamid64');
var steam = require('steam-web');

var username = 'yllanos';
var baseURL = "http://steamcommunity.com/id/";
var URL = baseURL + username +  "/?xml=1";

var s = new steam({
  apiKey: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX', // <<--PROVIDE API KEY HERE
  format: 'json' //optional ['json', 'xml', 'vdf']
  });

/**
* Example implementing steam-web
* If you want to test a different user, just edit the 'username' variable as needed
* Don't forget to add your own Steam API key
* 'result' variable represents the value to be integrated into your application
* @param {string} URL - Full URL profile for specific user.
*/
getSteamID64(URL)
.then(function (result) {

    s.getPlayerSummaries({
      steamids: [result],
      callback: function(err, data) {
        console.log(data["response"]["players"]);
      }
    })
  })
.catch(function (reason) {
    console.error("%s; %s", reason.error.message, reason.options.url);
    console.log("%j", reason.response.statusCode);
    return reason.error.message;
});

When the code above is executed, you should get something like:
