# Service Overview Steam LFG Service is a LFG solution written in [Python](https://www.python.org/), based on the [Steam API](https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/webapi). We provide a easy to use and robust customizable Discord Bot, for any server looking to be a hub for Steam Gamers. This project was created with a desire to help streamline the process for Discord Users attempting to connect via Steam. It makes great usage of the [Steam Browser Protocol](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_browser_protocol) allowing to automatically join users to lobbies, and send friend requests to hosts! See the below documentation to understand all available commands and necessary permissions. ## Steam API As mentioned prior, the Steam API is crucial to enabling our service. See below an outline of the data which is requested from users and how it is stored then used in order to query the API. * [ ] **Data requested from Users:** * [ ] Steam Friend Code (**Ex:** 165730107) * [ ] **Why:** Steam Friend Codes are requested in order to query the Steam API so we can access your Steam Profile and Steam Game History. Dependent on your visibility settings, we use the returned [JSON ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON)data to build a LFG post. * [ ] **Data Stored about Users:** * [ ] **SteamID:** Upon providing a valid Steam Friend Code when running **/register**, we use it to grab your unique [steamID64](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamID). This ID queries profile information and can be used to generate a web protocol. (**Ex:** [Friend Link](steam://friends/add/76561198125995835)) * [ ] **DiscordID:** If you provide a valid Steam Friend Code when running **/register**, we will then query your unique [Discord User ID](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/206346498-Where-can-I-find-my-User-Server-Message-ID-) in order to associate your Discord with your Steam. * [ ] **How Stored Data is used:** * [ ] A variety of offered slash commands such as **/host**, **/link**, **/search**, or **/register** query the Steam API to generate the below information in order to present a LFG Post. * [ ] **Profile URL:** The direct link to the dashboard for your Steam profile where users can see your description and add you as a friend. (**Ex:** [Profile URL](https://steamcommunity.com/id/garrusvalkyrin/)) * [ ] **Persona Name:** The public username of your Steam Profile. (**Ex:** Garrus Valkyrin) * [ ] **Profile Avatar:** The picture of your Steam Account will be used to set the right-hand side image of a LFG post. (**Ex:** [Avatar Link](https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/avatars/f9/f968f9d0f77f169fc6b05c9e54303cf36508ced7.jpg)) * [ ] **LobbySteamID:** This is the ID of the Server or Lobby your game is currently being hosted on. Using the [Steam Browser Protocol](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_browser_protocol) we then generate a Join Lobby or Connect link which automatically opens your game into said Server or Lobby. (**Ex:** [Join Link](steam://joinlobby/281990/109775240999021651)) (**Ex:** [Connect Link](steam://connect/85.190.157.220:2402)) * [ ] **Recently Played Games:** We pull data on your most [recently played game](https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/webapi/IPlayerService#GetRecentlyPlayedGames), which we assume to be the game you intend to LFG for. This data is used for visuals in a Post. * [ ] **APPID:** The unique ID used in the Steam API to identify this Steam Title from others. (**Ex:** [281990](https://store.steampowered.com/)) * [ ] **Name:** The name of the Steam Title on the Steam Store (**Ex:** Stellaris) * [ ] **IMG Icon URL:** The URL of the logo for the Steam Title displayed in a user's library. (**Ex:** [Stellaris Logo](https://images-ext-2.discordapp.net/external/tM4XRV3jWseQ4EiNi1nWovVRmbyqxelzxeQl53Zj-Cc/http/cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/apps/281990/3e4dfdf4b304b1f4552c279ea716238876ac02c8.jpg)) ### Technical Overview For more advanced eyes only, see below the exact methods used to query the above information: ## Gets information about a player's profile `GET` `https://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUser/GetPlayerSummaries/v2/` Upon providing a valid Steam Friend Code, we use it to grab your unique [steamID64](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamID).

", "short_description":"Explore a galaxy full of wonders in this sci-fi grand strategy game from Paradox Development Studios. Interact with diverse alien races, discover strange new worlds with unexpected events and expand the reach of your empire. Each new adventure holds almost limitless possibilities.", "supported_languages":"English, French, German, Spanish - Spain, Polish, Portuguese - Brazil, Russian, Simplified Chinese", "reviews":"“Calling Stellaris Europa Universalis in space is probably reductive, but it was the first thing I did in this review not because they are almost exactly alike, but because, when I put away my empires and get on with my day, the stories that have played out in these digital worlds embed themselves in my brain, and I so desperately want to tell people about them. Both games tickle the part of my brain that wants every battle to have some greater context, every move I make to be part of a larger narrative. Stellaris manages to do this without history to lean on, though, and does so with aplomb.”
9/10 – PCGamesN

“An excellent science fiction space strategy game”
The New York Times

“Stellaris is one of the best space 4X strategy games around, allowing you to create your very own civilization, venture out into the unknown and meet new species as you explore the stars.”
