Steam API IPlayerService/GetOwnedGames not returning all games
Hi,

Kind of an esoteric problem this, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

I have developed an application that uses the Steam API to populate a database with information about games I own.

This works fine for 99% of them, but a couple are not present in this list, for example Street Fighter 6 (appid 1364780) or Air Twister (appid 2403620), among a few others.

Games I purchased after those are featured (for example I bought Devil Blade Reboot a few day ago and it is in the list).

In one case, Rolling Gunner (appid 1456470), I mentioned this to the publisher and without knowing what happened it was fixed a short while later.

So this suggests the publisher forgot to 'configure' something about the game in Steam?


And should you ask, yes, I tried passing the include_played_free_games and skip_unvetted_apps query keys, just in case.

So what can I do to fix this?

Perhaps you can try to restrict the result to those games and check the results individually with "appids_filter".

the api returns said games, so the fault has to be on your end, meaning your application / script.

perhaps you should make your profile public, because as a private profile i can't use the api to fetch your owned games as the api honors privacy settings.

then you could paste your script here, so that either if it is in a language i know can see what you are doing and help you or someone else can help you.

here is a profile with the game: Street Fighter 6 (appid 1364780) and Rolling Gunner (appid 1456470) and the game: Air Twister (appid 2403620) which is a profile limited game, therefor it needs the param &skip_unvetted_apps=false

Hmm, I swore I tried skip_unvetted_apps=false before. I just tried again now and both SF6 and Air Twister are now returned, so, problem solved, thanks a lot.

So I was right with the publisher configuring something wrong, cuz these apps were most definitely 'vetted'.
