Want to try the SteamRep Web API Beta?

ehm, are you aware that this is the beta, and that the normal API as used in the SourceMod plugin is available to everyone, and that this new Beta API is only providing in a different format (JSON etc) and more info (admin, caution, MM, scammer etc)

I would like access to the beta for a little project of mine, one that I talked with Helen about but prefer not to disclose publicly at this time.

DataStorm, JSON output of the Steam API is exactly what we need.

I'd like access for dota2wh.com.

Would like to request an API key for Shocky the IRC bot. He executes arbitrary code from IRC users in PHP, Python, Lua, JS.
All triggers would be user-initiated.
Purpose - Fooling around, comparing who has more scammer friends of friends, etc etc.

One big caveat -- the API key would have to be publicly visible (if anyone tried). If it has to be private, we would have to make a new module for the bot, put it into the bot's config and mark it as a protected value.
For more info, look at the source on github - https://github.com/clone1018/Shocky

Example of how we have tried to do it today:

Example of what we want it to look like:

Would like to create firefox plugin to check SR... apparently someone was already doing this but I don't know what progress was made if any.

We didn't hear anything from it afaik, but maybe mattie contacted 'm.

Hey mittens, that's me! I made the Chrome one and I was planning on making a FF one. I might change the plugin to use the link hover box though. I was getting some JS conflicts with the Steam Community javascript last time I tried. I'm a bit busy at the moment though. The Chrome code is on my github page though so if anyone wants to port it to a FF plugin they can.

No not you there was a guy named "Fog" who posted earlier in this thread but yeah... you too!

Requirements:

• Explain what you intend to do with it!

I'm building a trading site in conjunction with my clan (Hells Gamers). We have the sourceop plugin enstalled on our trading servers, and would like to tie in this web api into the upcoming trade site so I can mark people as sourceop scammers, and/or possibly exclude them from registering on the site .

• The API is intended to be used on-demand inside of a web application and not for "background" automated purposes.
  • Never use the API in a way that spams SteamRep (e.g. never trigger it on every pageview of your site)
  • Cache results when possible, ideally never repeating a query for someone more than once a half hour.
  • Do not scan through many profiles at once via the API

My plan would be to only check scammer status when the user logs in or once per day, whichever happens more infrequently, and cache these results in my db in the user's profile. There would be another Admin-only check if a report was given in-between these intervals, but this would be a single, manual on-demand request

btw, the site is going to be TF2Xchange, and the domain is tf2x.com

I do hope you mean the SourceMod plugin, not "SourceOP" for we really don't know what you are running there then.

Yes, sorry, sourcemod server plugin, sorry.

I'd like access so that I can create my own version of the SteamRep checker plugin that tags community admins/middleman/caution in chat, in addition to kicking/banning scammers.

I would love it if I could get access to the API too. I am starting a community and I would like to show users steamrep status. Also I am curious to know how you get users trade and vac ban statuses since I couldn't get them through the Steam API.

afaik, they're there in the API. But maybe Mattie can tip yah.

I'd like to request access for TF2shop.net.

The intended purpose is to prevent marked users from purchasing from my site, and flagging them upon log in.

Thanks but I figured it out. They aren't in the API (that you access with your Steam API key) as such but it is possible to fetch steam community profiles as XML documents. I would still like access to the SteamRep API if possible.
