SteamGifts API?

Closed
Ryahn

I am wondering if there is an API for SG?

The reason I ask, is that I am thinking of making a small member site that will help manage the members of a private giveaway group. The only thing I would need to pull would be; ratio, GA Entered, Gifts Won, and Username.

You could always do a search by SteamID/username (one of which you should have), search for the appropriate fields (unless there are embedded XML tags), and do a basic text search.

This almost sounds like screen scraping.

Kind of. I was thinking more along the lines of web scraping.

That would be the easy way of going about it. The only issue is that it would add more load onto the site than what needs to be needed.

You could just use steamgifts. Just make giveaways group only. Or if that is too much make giveaways private, but in that case make sure url isn't leaked.

If there is an API for SG, the app I am building would be pretty easy to use. It will be mainly in PHP but anyone will be able to port it then
