SteamUser

Allows interaction with the Steam network via the Steam client protocol

SteamUser allows you to communicate with the Steam servers in the same manner as a proper Steam client. It's designed to be a self-contained module which provides all the functionality expected of a Steam user client.

Installation

Install it from npm:

$ npm install steam-user

Patterns ^

There are a number of coding patterns that are repeated throughout SteamUser. Please read this section in its entirety before starting work with SteamUser.

Callbacks and Promises

All methods listed in this document that accept a callback also return a Promise. You may use either callbacks or promises.

Legacy callbacks return their data spanning across multiple arguments. All promises (which return any data at all) return a single object containing one or more properties. The names of these properties for legacy callbacks are the names of the callback arguments listed in this readme. Newer callbacks return a single object response argument, which is identical to the promise output for that method.

Some methods indicate that their callback is required or optional. You are never required to use callbacks over promises, but if a callback is listed as optional then an unhandled promise rejection will not raise a warning/error. If a callback is listed as required and you neither supply a callback nor handle the promise rejection, then a promise rejection will raise a warning, and eventually a crash in a future Node.js release.

Enums ^

There are a lot of enums used in Steam. They're all available directly from SteamUser. For example, access EResult using SteamUser.EResult.

All enums can be viewed on GitHub.

Additionally, for convenience, the name of an enum value is available from any enum at the key identified by the enum value. For example, given an EResult of 88 you can translate it using SteamUser.EResult[88] which gives you the string TwoFactorCodeMismatch.

Static Methods ^

Static methods, or functions attached directly to SteamUser, are called on the root module and not on instantiated handler instances.

formatCurrency(amount, currency)

amount - The amount of the currency
currency - The currency code value in the ECurrencyCode enum

Formats a currency value and returns a string. For example:

console.log(SteamUser.formatCurrency(12.34, SteamUser.ECurrencyCode.USD)); // $12.34
console.log(SteamUser.formatCurrency(12345, SteamUser.ECurrencyCode.JPY)); // � 12345
console.log(SteamUser.formatCurrency(123.45, SteamUser.ECurrencyCode.EUR)); // 123,45�

Options ^

There are a number of options which can control the behavior of the SteamUser object. They are:

dataDirectory

Controls where the Steam server list and sentry files are written. If null, no data will be automatically stored.

Defaults to a platform-specific user data directory.

On OpenShift, this is $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/node-steamuser
On Windows, this is %localappdata%\doctormckay\node-steamuser
On Mac, this is ~/Library/Application Support/node-steamuser
On Linux, this is $XDG_DATA_HOME/node-steamuser, or ~/.local/share/node-steamuser if $XDG_DATA_HOME isn't defined or is empty

Custom Storage Engine

If you don't want to (or can't) save data to the disk, you can implement your own storage engine. To do this, simply add the following code:

user.storage.on('save', function(filename, contents, callback) {
	// filename is the name of the file, as a string
	// contents is a Buffer containing the file's contents
	// callback is a function which you MUST call on completion or error, with a single error argument

	// For example:
	someStorageSystem.saveFile(filename, contents, function(err) {
		callback(err);
	});
});

user.storage.on('read', function(filename, callback) {
	// filename is the name of the file, as a string
	// callback is a function which you MUST call on completion or error, with an error argument and a Buffer argument

	// For example:
	someStorageSystem.readFile(filename, function(err, file) {
		if(err) {
			callback(err);
			return;
		}

		callback(null, file);
	});
});

In this manner, you can save data to a database, a cloud service, or anything else you choose.

autoRelogin

A boolean which controls whether or not SteamUser will automatically reconnect to Steam if disconnected due to Steam going down.

Defaults to true.

singleSentryfile

A boolean which controls whether or not SteamUser will use a single sentry file for all accounts.

If off, a file named sentry.accountname.bin will be saved for each account. If on, a file named sentry.bin will be used for all accounts.

Defaults to false.

machineIdType

What kind of machine ID will SteamUser send to Steam when logging on? Should be a value from EMachineIDType.

Added in 1.7.0.

Defaults to AccountNameGenerated.

machineIdFormat

If you're using machineIdType AccountGenerated, this is the format it uses. This is an array of three strings, each of which will be hashed with SHA1 before being sent to Steam. {account_name} will be replaced with the current account name.

Added in 1.13.0.

Defaults to ["SteamUser Hash BB3 {account_name}", "SteamUser Hash FF2 {account_name}", "SteamUser Hash 3B3 {account_name}"].

enablePicsCache

If enabled, then node-steam-user will internally cache data in memory about all apps and packages that it knows about. Currently, node-steam-user "knows about" an app/package if:

Packages
- You own it, or
- You request info about it via getProductInfo
Apps
- It's in a known package, or
- You request info about it via getProductInfo, or
- A friend who is online plays the app, or
- You request info about an online user who is playing it via getPersonas

This option is required in order to use several methods and events. This works when logging in anonymously.

Added in 3.3.0.

Defaults to false.

picsCacheAll

If picsCacheAll is enabled, enablePicsCache is enabled, and changelistUpdateInterval is nonzero, then apps and packages which get updated while your bot is running will also be added to the cache. Default behavior is to only cache apps and packages that are "known" via the above criteria.

Added in 3.3.0.

Defaults to false.

changelistUpdateInterval

If enablePicsCache is enabled, then node-steam-user will automatically request app/package changes (via getProductChanges) for known apps and packages, and update the internal cache when they update. This is the frequency, in milliseconds, for changelist update requests. Set to 0 to disable.

Added in 3.3.0.

Defaults to 60000. Minimum value 1000, although you're recommended to not go below 10 seconds or so.

additionalHeaders

Set this to an object where keys are header names and values are header values, and those headers will be included with all HTTP requests node-steam-user makes to the Steam WebAPI.

Added in 3.29.0.

Defaults to {}.

localAddress

Pass an IP here (as a string) to bind to that address, or null to let the OS decide.

Added in 4.0.0.

Defaults to null.

localPort

Pass a port here to bind to that port, or null to let the OS decide.

Added in 4.0.0.

Defaults to null.

httpProxy

Specify a URL here to use an HTTP proxy. For example, http://user:[email protected]:8081

Added in 4.0.0.

protocol

A value from EConnectionProtocol.

Added in 4.0.0.

Defaults to Auto.

language

Set this to the full name of a language (e.g. "english" or "spanish") to localize specific things within steam-user. Currently this is only used to localize rich_presence_string in user event data.

Added in 4.0.0.

Defaults to english.

webCompatibilityMode

If you're having trouble connecting to Steam (e.g. through a firewall or a proxy), set this to true. When in web compatibility mode, connections to Steam will always use WebSockets (the protocol option will be ignored, and you will get a warning if you set it to TCP), and only Steam servers listening on port 443 will be considered.

Added in 4.6.0.

Defaults to false.

Methods ^

Constructor(options)

options - An optional object containing zero or more options to set for this SteamUser.

Constructs a new SteamUser.

setOption(option, value)

value - The value to set for this option

Changes the value of an option.

setOptions(options)

options - An object containing zero or more options.

setSentry(sentry)

sentry - A Buffer containing the binary sentry file, binary SHA1 hash, or null to unset the set sentry

If you aren't using dataDirectory or you just want to provide your own sentry file, you can do it using this method.

You should call this before calling logOn. When you log on, SteamUser will use this sentry file.

You can provide either an entire sentryfile (preferred), or a Buffer containing the binary SHA1 hash of your sentryfile (e.g. the output of the sentry event in node-steam 0.6.x).

logOn([details])

details - An object containing details for this logon
- accountName - If logging into a user account, the account's name
- password - If logging into an account without a login key or a web logon token, the account's password
- loginKey - If logging into an account with a login key, this is the account's login key
- webLogonToken - If logging into an account with a client logon token obtained from the web, this is the token
- steamID - If logging into an account with a client logon token obtained from the web, this is your account's SteamID, as a string or a SteamID object
- authCode - If you have a Steam Guard email code, you can provide it here. You might not need to, see the steamGuard event. (Added in 1.9.0)
- twoFactorCode - If you have a Steam Guard mobile two-factor authentication code, you can provide it here. You might not need to, see the steamGuard event. (Added in 1.9.0)
- rememberPassword - true if you want to get a login key which can be used in lieu of a password for subsequent logins. false or omitted otherwise.
- logonID - A 32-bit integer to identify this login. The official Steam client derives this from your machine's private IP (it's the obfuscated_private_ip field in CMsgClientLogOn). If you try to logon twice to the same account from the same public IP with the same logonID, the first session will be kicked with reason SteamUser.EResult.LogonSessionReplaced. Defaults to 0 if not specified.
  - As of v4.13.0, this can also be an IPv4 address as a string, in dotted-decimal notation (e.g. "192.168.1.5")
- machineName - A string containing the name of this machine that you want to report to Steam. This will be displayed on steamcommunity.com when you view your games list (when logged in).
- clientOS - A number to identify your client OS. Auto-detected if you don't provide one.

v3.11.0 or later is required to use machineName or dontRememberMachine.
v4.3.0 or later is required to use webLogonToken.

Logs onto Steam. Omit the details object if you wish to login to an anonymous user account.

There are four ways to log onto Steam:

- Omit accountName (or the details object entirely) and you will log onto an anonymous user account.
Individually using account name and password
- These properties are required:
  - accountName
  - password

  - rememberPassword - Specify if you want to get a login key for subsequent logins.
  - logonID - Defaults to 0 if not specified.
  - machineName - Defaults to empty string if not specified.
  - clientOS - Defaults to an auto-detected value if not specified.
  - dontRememberMachine - Only relevant if using an authCode. Defaults to false if not specified.
- These properties must not be provided:
  - loginKey
  - webLogonToken
  - steamID
Individually using account name and login key
- These properties are required:
  - accountName
  - loginKey
- These properties are optional:
  - rememberPassword - Specify if you want to get a new login key for subsequent logins.
  - logonID - Defaults to 0 if not specified.

  - webLogonToken
  - steamID
Individually using account name and client logon token obtained from the web
- NOTE: If you log on this way, webSession will NOT be emitted automatically, and you will need to use webLogOn() to get a web session.
- These properties are required:
  - accountName
  - webLogonToken
  - steamID
- These properties must not be provided:
  - password
  - authCode
  - twoFactorCode
  - dontRememberMachine
  - loginKey
  - rememberPassword
  - logonID
  - machineName
  - clientOS

logOff()

Logs you off of Steam and closes the connection.

relog()

v3.18.0 or later is required to use this method

Logs you off of Steam and then immediately back on. If you aren't logged into an anonymous account, then you must set rememberPassword to true when logging on initially to use this. You also must wait for the loginKey event to be emitted before you can use this. Attempts to call this method without both criteria being met will result in an Error being thrown and nothing else will happen.

When used, disconnected and then loggedOn will be emitted in succession. This is essentially the same as using logOff() and then calling logOn() immediately in the disconnected event callback.

webLogOn()

SteamUser will automatically log onto steamcommunity.com when a successful connection to Steam is established (as an individual user), but you can call webLogOn() to create a new session if your old one expires or becomes invalid.

Listen for the webSession event to get your cookies.

requestValidationEmail([callback])

callback - Optional. Called when a response is available
- err - An Error object on failure, or null on success

Requests Steam to send you a validation email to your registered email address.

You should save the entire response object somewhere secure. You can use JSON.stringify on it safely.

Properties of note in the response object:

status - A value from EResult. If this is not OK (1), then the request failed.
shared_secret - This is your secret that's used for two-factor authentication.
revocation_code - You will need this in the future to disable two-factor authentication.

callback - Optional. Called when request completes
- err - An Error object on failure, or null on success
- purchaseResultDetails - A SteamUser.EPurchaseResult value
- packageList - An object whose keys are packageIDs and values are package names

callback - Optional. Called when request completes
- err - An Error object on failure, or null on success

v3.18.0 or later is required to use this method

Requests a free-on-demand license to be granted to your account.

Older free-to-play games are in the "Steam" package (package ID 0). This package is automatically granted to all accounts (but not anonymous ones). Games in this package do not need a license to be explicitly requested.

All newer free-to-play games have "free-on-demand packages". These are packages that are not automatically granted to all accounts, but will be granted upon request ("on demand"). This is so that the Steam client can show free-to-play games you have previously added to your library when not installed. In order to "play" any free-to-play app that isn't in sub 0, you need to request a license for it using this method.

If successful, calling this method will result in the licenses event being emitted containing your new license(s).

getEncryptedAppTicket(appid[, userData], callback)

appid - The Steam AppID of the app for which you want a ticket
userData - If the app expects some "user data" (arbitrary data which will be encrypted into the ticket), provide it here. Otherwise, omit this argument or pass an empty Buffer.
callback - Called when the request completes
- err - If there was an error, this is an Error object. Otherwise, it's null.
- encryptedAppTicket - If successful, this is your encrypted appticket as a Buffer. You should provide the entire contents of the Buffer to the recipient.

v3.14.0 or later is required to use this method

Requests an "encrypted app ticket" from Steam servers for a particular game. This can be used to prove your ownership of an app and also your account identity to some publisher server, provided they're expecting an encrypted app ticket. To use encrypted app tickets, publishers must set up an encryption key in the Steamworks backend. Therefore, this will not work if encrypted tickets haven't been set up for the AppID you request a ticket for. You cannot decrypt an encrypted app ticket, nor can you view anything it contains. It is for all intents and purposes an opaque blob of binary data which only the developer/publisher of the game can do anything with.

sendToGC(appid, msgType, protoBufHeader, payload[, callback])

v4.1.0 or later is required to use this method

Please see documentation for GC interaction on the GitHub wiki.

Events ^

ID Events

Events marked as ID events are special. They all have a SteamID object as their first parameter. In addition to the event itself firing, a second event comprised of eventName + "#" + steamID.getSteamID64() is fired.

For example:

// This will fire when we receive a chat message from ANY friend
user.on('friendMessage', function(steamID, message) {
	console.log("Friend message from " + steamID.getSteam3RenderedID() + ": " + message);
});

// This will fire when we receive a chat message from [U:1:46143802] / 76561198006409530 ONLY
user.on('friendMessage#76561198006409530', function(steamID, message) {
	console.log("Friend message from " + steamID.getSteam3RenderedID() + ": " + message);
});

loggedOn

details - An object containing various details about your account (see CMsgClientLogonResponse)
parental - An object containing your parental controls settings

v3.5.0 or later is required to use parental.

Emitted when you're successfully logged into Steam.

steamGuard

domain - If an email code is needed, the domain name of the address where the email was sent. null if an app code is needed.
callback - Should be called when the code is available.
- code - The Steam Guard auth code
lastCodeWrong - true if you're using 2FA and the last code you provided was wrong, false otherwise

This event will be emitted when Steam requests a Steam Guard code from us. You should collect the code from the user somehow and then call the callback with the code as the sole argument.

If no listener is bound to this event, then steam-user will prompt the user for a code via stdin.

Example:

user.on('steamGuard', function(domain, callback) {
	console.log("Steam Guard code needed from email ending in " + domain);
	var code = getCodeSomehow();
	callback(code);
});

error

err - An Error object

Emitted when an error occurs during logon. Also emitted if we're disconnected and autoRelogin is either disabled, or it's a fatal disconnect.

If this event isn't handled, the program will crash.

The SteamUser object's steamID property will still be defined when this is emitted. The Error object will have an eresult parameter which is a value from the EResult enum.

disconnected

eresult - A value from the SteamUser.EResult enum
msg - A string describing the reason for the disconnect, if available (might be undefined)

Emitted when we're disconnected from Steam for a non-fatal reason and autoRelogin is enabled. SteamUser will continually retry connection and will either emit loggedOn when logged back on, or error if a fatal logon error is experienced.

Also emitted in response to a logOff() call.

The SteamUser object's steamID property will still be defined when this is emitted.

The eresult value might be 0 (Invalid), which indicates that the disconnection was due to the connection being closed directly, without Steam sending a LoggedOff message.

sentry

sentry - A Buffer containing your new sentry file

Emitted when Steam sends us a new sentry file. By default, SteamUser will automatically save and reuse this sentry file for subsequent logins, but if you wish you may handle it yourself (see setSentry).

webSession

sessionID - The value of the sessionid cookie
cookies - An array of cookies, as name=value strings

Emitted when a steamcommunity.com web session is successfully negotiated. This will automatically be emitted on logon (unless you used a webLogonToken to log on) and in response to webLogOn calls.

Some libraries require you to provide your sessionID, others don't. If your library doesn't, you can safely ignore it.

Read more about how cookies work and interact with other modules.

loginKey

key - Your login key

If you enabled rememberPassword in logOn, this will be emitted when Steam sends us a new login key. This key can be passed to logOn as loginKey in lieu of a password on subsequent logins.

At this time, I'm not sure if login keys expire, so to be safe you should record this somewhere (in a database, in a file, etc) and overwrite it every time the event is emitted.

newItems

count - How many new items you have (can be 0)

Emitted when Steam sends a notification of new items. You can reset the count to 0 by loading your inventory page (https://steamcommunity.com/my/inventory) while logged in.

myItems - How many of the total comments are on your content (workshop items, screenshots, your profile, etc.)
discussions - How many of the total comments are posts in subscribed discussion threads

tradeOffers

count - How many active received trade offers you have (can be 0)

Emitted when Steam sends a notification of new trade offers. This gets emitted shortly after logon iff it's nonzero, and every time it changes thereafter (i.e. both when you receive a trade offer and when an active trade offer you received gets accepted/canceled/declined).

communityMessages

count - How many unread community (moderator) messages you have (can be 0)

v3.26.0 or later is required to use this event

Emitted when Steam sends a notification of new community (moderator) messages. This gets emitted shortly after logon iff it's nonzero, and every time it changes thereafter (i.e. both when you receive a community message and when a community message gets read).

offlineMessages

count - How many unread offline chat messages you have

Emitted when Steam sends a notification of unread offline chat messages. This will always be emitted after logon, even if you have no messages.

vanityURL

url - Your new vanity URL

country - The character code from which you're logging in (via GeoIP), e.g. "US"
authedMachines - How many machines are authorized to login to your account with Steam Guard

Emitted on logon and when limitations change. The limitations property will be updated after this event is emitted.

vacBans

numBans - How many bans your account has
appids - The AppIDs from which you're banned. Since each ban affects a range of AppIDs, some of the AppIDs in this array may not exist.

Emitted on logon and probably when you get banned/unbanned. The vac property will be updated after this event is emitted.

wallet

hasWallet - true if your account has a Steam Wallet, false if not
currency - The currency ID of your account's wallet (the enum of currencies is available as SteamUser.ECurrencyCode)

This isn't emitted for anonymous accounts. However, all anonymous user accounts have a license for package 17906 automatically.

gifts

gifts - An array of gift objects

Emitted on logon and when you receive/accept/decline a gift or guest pass. The gifts property will be updated after this event is emitted.

Guest Passes (do they even still exist?) are gifts (actually, gifts are Guest Passes with a very long expiration date). Consequently, both come through this event.

Each object in the array is an oustanding gift or guest pass that was sent to you that you haven't accepted/declined yet. Only outstanding gifts show up here. Gifts that you stored in your inventory don't show up here.

The structure of the objects in the array is defined in the documentation for the gifts property.
