BUILD ID using API

[.-=(ADF-Sniper)=-.]

Would anyone know how I could get the latest build id from an appid?

I have tried using doing this but returns.

Access is denied. Retrying will not help. Please verify your key=

My key is correct according to http://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

https://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/GetAppBuilds/v1/?key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&format=json&appid=251570&count=1

Thanks

I could imagine that you need a Steamworks Publisher WebAPI Key to be able to retrieve outputs from that API

yep he not only needs a pubisher key he also needs to own the app he wants the builds from as the publisher key will only return if the publisher key is tied to that appid.

Ok, so here is the issue I have. To get a Publisher WebAPI Key.

Developers wishing to integrate the Steamworks SDK with their own games or applications still need to first be Greenlit and provided with an appID.

So I had a look at greenlit @ $100US its a little too high for my liking.

Would anyone know of an alternative to figuring out the Build ID of an app?

seems like u missed a big part of what i said...

the publisher key will only return data from the api call if you are the owner of the appid.

if you need to get the buildids u need to do something like steamdb does using steamkit
https://steamdb.info/app/251570/depots/

here is how they do it:

Thanks for the info MalikQayum.

I did look at that but, not interested running SteamKit.

However I did come up with something, still yet to resolve some issues with the output I see in console and capturing it, both result are a different output. No idea why that would be.

Using steamcmd.exe I can issue the command

steamcmd.exe +app_info_print 346110 +quit

however when I output the data like so....

steamcmd.exe +app_info_print 346110 +quit > output.txt

I get a similar result except encrypted or something.

OK,

So what I came up with that almost worked for all games........

steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +app_info_update 1 +app_info_print "294420" +app_info_print "294420" +quit > aaa.txt

By adding +app_info_print "294420" twice exported into aaa.txt correctly.

The below did not work...... no idea.

steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +app_info_update 1 +app_info_print "232250" +app_info_print "232250" +quit > aaa.txt
