Usage

API Key

A number of the API endpoints require that you have an API key.

To get a key goto: https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey.

You will require an existing account with Steam first to be able to then get a API key.

SteamApiClient

SteamApiClient provides client functionality to communicate with the Steam APIs.

Create a SteamApiClient and call the required method:

// Create an instance of HttpClient however you see fit
private static readonly HttpClient _httpClient = new ();

// ...

var config = new SteamApiClientConfig
{
	ApiKey = "YourApiKey",
	CacheAllAppsResponse = true
};

ISteamApiClient client = new SteamApiClient(_httpClient, config);

var response = await CreateSut().GetAllAppsAsync();
