Steam API Server

This is a NodeJS server that makes it easy to use Steam Web API.
It allows to get data from the API to client side.
I.E allows Cross Origin Resource Sharing

Cross Origin Resource Sharing

(CORS) is an HTTP-header based mechanism that allows a server to indicate any other origins (domain, scheme, or port) than its own from which a browser should permit loading of resources

Installation the Steam API Server

  git clone https://github.come/matthew-hub/steam-api-serve.git

In the project directory run:

  npm install

  node server.js

How to Use the Server?

1. Install the Server with NodeJS
2. Get a Steam Web API developer key. Get one here.
3. Read the Steam Web API documentation. Doc.
4. Once you have the key, copy it to the file 'server.js'

// server.js
const express = require('express');
const request = require('request');

const app = express();

const port = 8080; // PORT
const STEAM_API_KEY = 'YOUR STEAM WEB API KEY';

5. All API are located in the "api" folder. Same as below.
6. It's similar to the Steam Web API, you use methods, parameters or query, see below.
7. Create request on client side.
