[Userscript] SteamGifts - Better Steam Ownership Sync

Introduction

SteamGifts can only detect ownership of steam games/DLC via steam's official web API.
However, this web API is flawed as it will not return ownership of removed/disabled games and any DLC.
With this userscript you are able to "sync" ALL of your owned steam games and DLC.
Since we cannot add these to SteamGift's own list of owned games and DLC, we do the next best thing and hide all of our own games and DLC.
You can set the interval for when this is done yourself.
So, for example, if you redeem a lot of games per day, it makes sense you sync it more than once per day.
Additionally, I also made it sync automatically for when you press "Recieved" on your winnings page.

Features

  • Automatically sync SteamGifts with your steam profile in a configurable interval.
  • Sync SteamGifts with your steam profile after you received a new SteamGifts prize.
  • Hide all owned games and DLC from SteamGifts.

Instructions

Yes, definitely!
Yes, somewhat
Maybe/I don't know
No

Maybe it's useful for those lazy to click 3 times XDD.
I'll use the manual mode, for now.

I usually know what games I already own, and syncing doesn't help for DLC.

Now if your userscript allowed for automatically leaving giveaways for games you already own, THAT would be something else.

Interesting how many people voted for No

probably because

Ever entered a giveaway of a game/dlc you already owned?

why enter for a game you don't even know you own?

anyway, it's a good idea and it helps avoiding multiple wins or rerolls. thanks. :3 you know it won't detect packages and DLCs, right?

The second functionally is the most useful and it would be great if I could remove my entry from a game I won too, but that's probably not possible or feasible. Thanks for the script!

Very nice! I linked it from the thread about avoiding multiple wins. It can definitely help there.

Thanks, I think I will at some point merge this script with this script for the ultimate multiple wins avoider!

That would be great. In the meanwhile, you may want to create a separate thread for that script. I would like to link it too, but linking directly to the script (without explanatory notes) may be confusing.

this script still doesn't actually remove entries though.

i entered into a "victor van arpg" that ends in 6days, then purchased and applied the steamkeys from the bundle instead. and used it as a test to see if it would remove that entry and it still won't.

is it possibly because its a group ga?

I've been using this and it was very helpful to hide quite a lot of owned DLCs. However, I've noticed that the Slash It 2 DLCs (there are a few) don't seem to be hidden correctly. I wanted to report that here in case it's a bug in the script.

Thanks for this useful script! :)

EDIT: One example

Slash it 2 - Chinese Edition Pack (AppID 588830), is shown in the console on the list of "Already hidden:" items, but it shows in the giveaways page.

EDIT2: Tried to fix it running "localStorage.removeItem("hidden_ga");" in the console, then unmarking and marking as received an old GA. I saw a few "POST https://www.steamgifts.com/ajax.php net::ERR_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES", so I run it a couple of times (the third time there were no items left to hide). However, the Slash it 2 DLCs are still on the GA page even if they are (again) listed as "Already hidden" :/

Actually, it's quite simple. My list is incomplete. We have appid's from Steam and game id's from SteamGifts. Unfortunately we don't have any tools to convert each the other. I had to create my own list, but it's not complete. Consequently, the script can't work at it's full potential. Check my topic about this issue here: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/cDKQP/steam-appid-to-steamgifts-gameid-converter

the script doesn't seem to be working for me at the moment.

I've had a couple of wins, but none of my owned DLCs are being hidden :(

Also - is there any way to trigger it, other than claiming a won giveaway?

It's because it isn't uptodate. I need help from cg to get a list for gameid <-> appid conversion.

This will also help with games no longer detected by the Steam Web API!

can anyone tell me why the script started removing wishlisted games?

For example, wishlisted game Warhammer Dawn of war 3 is in wishlist and in hidden filter now..
Same for Call of Duty games.. :/

Happened 1 week ago, but noticed just today when found out about Dawn of war
