Function Reference

request(options, callback)

Make a request for the Steam API with a method with the given parameters.

If the first argument is a string, it will be threated as the path option. If it's an object, it should have at least the interf and method set. The available options are:

• interface: the Steam API interface
• method: the Steam API method
• version: version of the method to be called, format XXXX, defaults to 0001
• path: overwrites the interface, method and version options, with format interface/method/vXXXX
• secure: if the request should be made via https, defaults to true
• get: GET params for the HTTP request
• post: POST params for the HTTP request

Once the request is finished, the callback function will be called with 2 arguments, an error object (null if success) and the available data (parsed from json if success).
