Player Steam ID's

[Apex]

Hey everyone!
I've seen a few implementations of "player trackers", whereby the players get identified by their steam id and I also want to become one of those who know how to get the steam ids of every player connected to a server. That server however is an official server powered by a developer studio I am obviously not part of, yet there are people who are in the same situation but do have access to everyones steam ids.

That depends on the game.

Personally, I would not add a public API to get all players connected to my game -- the public has no business knowing this -- but someone else might have a different opinion. Regardless, such APIs are not "standardized".

The thing is that ARK servers are available via the steam server browser, so I thought that there may be a way provided by steam other than the Web API, which only gets me the display name, which I am not really interested in. Steamworks also does not work, since you would have to be part of the dev team of the game.

This is not very helpful, since I want to develop a program to do server scans automatically but ty anyways :)

Still not the answer I want.
1. I do not have the steam ID, but I need a way to get them
2. The steam web API does not give me the steam ID just the display name

Has anyone found a way and can tell me? I've been trying to do something similar for a while with EOS, which tracks players on ASE through their steamids, but I don't know how to provide an IP and return the steamids of the connected players.
