Nice job mate.
I didn't know that Tales of Maj'Eyal had like that insane amount of achievements.

You could give me time to bring it back after maintenance ;_;

Thanks for posting this, Archi. I think it might be useful to me.
On a somewhat related note, I have a question you may be able to answer. For a year or so I've envisioned a tool or program that would pull the achievement art of all the achieved achievements (what a mouthful) of a given steam profile and display them, perhaps in a scrolling cascade of some sort. The user would ideally be able to control which games achievements were used, among other things. Maybe even create a personalized screensaver or something. Do you know if this is this feasible from a programming standpoint?

It is definitely possible, in fact nearly everything is, but it'd need some work put into that, and I doubt that many users would actually use it. It's a nice fancy thing, but ask yourself if somebody would really need such thing :3.
If you look through all of my projects, then you'll clearly notice that every single one of them was created to fill one of my needs. I'm lazy guy who is so lazy that he prefers to code stuff himself rather than do something manually. I'm so lazy that I didn't even want to waste my time on kicking members out of my giveaway group - now ArchiBoT does even that part :3.

By the way, I moved tool to new domain, and added SSL.
Old: http://a.steam.justarchi.net
New: https://achievements.justarchi.net/
Please update your bookmarks (if you saved old one), main post is up-to-date already. Sorry for inconvenience! :3

Luckily I can use the "search" function! =P
I was worried you had taken this down..
Thanks again for this and all the other things you share with us ^_^
BUMP

This is so useful for finding the games that have added new achievements since I've 100%ed them. Thanks Archi!

Hey Archi, I hope you're doing well. Thanks so much for creating that page, it really helps me a lot.
I'm sorry for "resurrecting" this topic, but lately I've tried to access the Achievement Hunter page, and I get this:
Archi's Achievement Hunter
Disabled due to excessive rate-limiting recently added by Valve
Is this a temporary thing or the page will be down for good? Thanks for reading, and I'm sorry for bothering you!

I just guess into the blue.
As long as volvo has these strict rate-limits that site can not work and will therefore be disabled.
So I guess asking volvo makes more sense.

Volvo introduced additional restrictions, this time IP-based of requests being sent in parallel, which does trigger a lot 429 errors for my entire server. Once that happens, API access is down for entire 24 hours.
Due to the fact that my server also has more important things to do, like hosting ArchiBoT that must have access to the API, I decided to disable site permanently, as there is no way for it to operate like previously with those limits added.
So yes, site is down until further notice. Sorry.

Basically I created my own little tool that tracks completed/missing games (in terms of achievements) for me. And because it's useful for me, I assume that it can be also useful for other people, including you.
Archi's Achievement Hunter
This is server-sided tool, which communicates with steam API in order to get the data I want. Unfortunately, due to lack of proper steam API methods, this requires over a thousand of requests from steam API in order to just show stats for my own games, so nobody implemented something like that right away, as it's quite costly. So I optimized all of that as much as I could, and released it for public. You can read more about the tool on the main page.
If you're an achievement hunter, or you simply want to check an overview of your steam achievements, this tool is for you as well.
I consider this tool as finished - it works the way I want, and I can bookmark generated link to visit it later. Maybe I fix some bugs, add some misc features, but that's it. I'm too lazy to make a decent page just for this little functionality :3.
I'm sharing it here as I consider it useful. I wrote it because there was no tool which satisfied my needs. You don't need to download anything, this is not a scam site, it just works the way I want. And if it works for me, it could work for you, too.
Example output
Have fun! :3
