Module for interacting with various Steam features

WebAPI

Wrapper around Steam Web API. Requires API Key. Upon initialization the instance will fetch all available interfaces from the API and populate the namespace. What interfaces are availability depends on the key.

>>> from steam import WebAPI
>>> api = WebAPI(key="<your api key>")

>>> api.ISteamWebAPIUtil.GetServerInfo()
>>> api.call('ISteamWebAPIUtil.GetServerInfo')
{u'servertimestring': u'Sun Jul 05 22:37:25 2015', u'servertime': 1436161045}

>>> api.ISteamUser.ResolveVanityURL(vanityurl="valve", url_type=2)
>>> api.call('ISteamUser.ResolveVanityURL', vanityurl="valve", url_type=2)
{u'response': {u'steamid': u'103582791429521412', u'success': 1}}

# call a specific version of the method
>>> api.ISteamUser.ResolveVanityURL_v1(vanityurl="valve", url_type=2)
>>> api.call('ISteamUser.ResolveVanityURL_v1', vanityurl="valve", url_type=2)

It's not necessary to provide the key when calling any interface method. key, format, raw parameters can be specified on WebAPI to affect all method calls, or when calling a specific method. Some methods have parameters which need to be a list. Trying to call nonexistent method will raise an AttributeError.

Supported formats by web api are: json (default), vdf, xml The response will be deserialized using the appropriate module unless raw is True.

>>> api.ISteamUser.ResolveVanityURL.__doc__  # method doc
"""
