List of Steam games + their details?

[DaMightyLamb]

I am making a program for my class that is going to be a search guide for steam games. The purpose is to have the program search through a database of games and display any title that the user inputs. They could also search by title, publisher, price, etc.

Does anyone know if their is a list that is already created before I make one of my own? Thanks!

Or just use the Steam store...?

Steam does not have a documented API, so you're just making things hard for you.

sounds like you would need to use the web api:

https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/webapi/ISteamApps#GetAppList
1- store the appids in a db.
https://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/GetAppList/v2/


https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/User:RJackson/StorefrontAPI
2- use the storefront api.
http://store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails/
Parameters: appids

example:
http://store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails/?appids=<appid1>,<appid2>
to get the data for each appid.

you could also avoid using a db and simply make the requests as the search is happening.
or maybe not entirely when i think about that as you would need to convert the name to appid and that you need a db for.

Man, this sucks. There's no way to get the tags a game has? For example, DOOM has FPS and Gore. With the storefront API you don't get that. With the big list you only get game names.
