steamid

SteamID for Node.js

This module provides a SteamID object which makes SteamID usage and conversion easy.

Installation

Install it from npm:

$ npm install steamid

Brief Overview

A SteamID is made up of four parts: its universe, its type, its instance, and its account ID.

• Universe: Currently, there are 5 universes. A universe is a unique instance of Steam. You'll probably only be interacting with the public universe, which is the regular Steam. Only Valve employees can access non-public universes.
• Type: A SteamID's type determines what it identifies. The most common type is individual, for user accounts. There are also other types such as clans (Steam groups), gameservers, and more.
• Instance: The instance ID isn't usually used.
• Account ID: This represents a unique account of a type.

There are enums for each type available under the root SteamID object.

    "WEB": 4
};

SteamID Creation

You can create a SteamID object from a Steam2 rendered ID, a Steam3 rendered ID, a SteamID64, or from the four parts that make up a SteamID.

Steam2 ID

var SteamID = require('steamid');
var sid = new SteamID('STEAM_0:0:23071901');

Steam3 ID

var SteamID = require('steamid');
var sid = new SteamID('[U:1:46143802]');

SteamID64

var SteamID = require('steamid');
var sid = new SteamID('76561198006409530');

SteamID Parts

var SteamID = require('steamid');
var sid = new SteamID();
sid.universe = SteamID.Universe.PUBLIC;
sid.type = SteamID.Type.INDIVIDUAL;
sid.instance = SteamID.Instance.DESKTOP;
sid.accountid = 46143802;

Individual AccountID

There's a shorthand method for creating an individual SteamID with the desktop instance in the public universe given an accountid:

var SteamID = require('steamid');
var sid = SteamID.fromIndividualAccountID(46143802);

Using a SteamID

Once you have created a SteamID object, you can access its properties (universe, type, instance, and accountid) or you can convert it between rendered types.

isValid()

Returns true if the object represents a valid SteamID, or false if not.

isGroupChat()

Returns true if the type of this SteamID is CHAT, and it's associated with a Steam group's chat room.

isLobby()

Returns true if the type of thie SteamID is CHAT, and it's associated with a Steam lobby.

getSteam2RenderedID([newerFormat])

Shorthand: steam2([newerFormat])

Returns the Steam2 rendered ID format for individual accounts. Throws an error if the type isn't individual.

If you pass true for newerFormat, the first digit will be 1 instead of 0 for the public universe.

Example:

var SteamID = require('steamid');
var sid = new SteamID('76561198006409530');
console.log(sid.getSteam2RenderedID()); // STEAM_0:0:23071901
console.log(sid.getSteam2RenderedID(true)); // STEAM_1:0:23071901

getSteam3RenderedID()

Shorthand: steam3()

Returns the Steam3 rendered ID format.

Examples:

var SteamID = require('steamid');
 
var sid = new SteamID('76561198006409530');
console.log(sid.getSteam3RenderedID()); // [U:1:46143802]
 
var gid = new SteamID('103582791434202956');
console.log(gid.getSteam3RenderedID()); // [g:1:4681548]

getSteamID64()

Returns the 64-bit representation of the SteamID.

Examples:

var SteamID = require('steamid');
 
var sid = new SteamID('[g:1:4681548]');
console.log(sid.getSteamID64()); // 103582791434202956
 
var sid2 = new SteamID('STEAM_0:0:23071901');
console.log(sid2.getSteamID64()); // 76561198006409530
