Steam APi. Stats API

[Romans]

Hello I'0m trying to retrieve stats for Source SDK Base 2007 (appid 218), using the endpoint http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUserStats/GetUserStatsForGame/v2?key=...&steamid=...&appid=218
But it returns {}.
Is there so the way to get theat app stats?
(I'm interested on the hours, that are visible in profiles, like mine)
Thank you

that api is for stats and achievements and that appid does not have stats or achievements.

https://api.steampowered.com/IPlayerService/GetRecentlyPlayedGames/v1/?key=...&steamid=...

this will get your recently played games only. that means you need to have played the appid the past 2 weeks for it to show up.

alternative you can create a bot account and befriend that bot account and use the endpoint

EHm ok that's not for my case.
I need to see that app hours played for everyone that has the profile as public

take /GetUserStatsForGame/ literal, the SDK is not a game, it is classified as a tool.

you wont get this data via official means, you have to scrape it yourself and that means ratelimits.

it doesn't matter if it is a tool or not, all appids are capable of having stats and achievements.

however he doesn't understand what ISteamUserStats/GetUserStatsForGame/ shows, because the api is not for what he thinks it is for. it is for stats and achievements.
