Want to try the SteamRep Web API Beta?

Ok, well, mattie will decide on that most probably when he's back from his trip.

All is good, thank you for your time regardless buddy

I would like to request access to the Web API beta.

What I intend to do with the API is create a web browser plugin which will check the SteamRep database against a user's steam profile whenever a user of the plugin views another user's steam profile in the web browser. It would then give a quick summary (either SCAMMER, CAUTION, or OK with the main status) then they can click on the plugin's icon to open up the user's steamrep page.

I would love to use this API to check to see if when i Spycrab with someone if they have REP or are marked as a SR scammer or something. :3

Somebody already is busy with such, but that won't be a reason to not allow you. Which browser(s) you plan to make it for?

Spycrab on servers where the plugin is installed, a load of them have it.
See the front page on http://steamrep.com for a nice list of them

You can type !sr playername to see it ingame

Thanks for telling me that Data, because people LOVE to run on me. But whenever i add them on my alt or this acc. I talk with them and they end up paying

A lot of comm's have the rule that spycrabs must be MM'd by a admin of theirs to be sure of bets. Its nowadays the reason we don't have much spycrab reports anymore. For to prove it is pretty hard without a admin witness.

I've gotten 3 people marked/tagged for running. About to make my 4th report on a kid who just ran on me.

I was planning on making it for Firefox at first, but if there's already somebody working on such, it might be better to leave it to him because I'm not too sure if I have the skills to make such a browser add-on.

Well, he was making it on Chrome...

Ah, alright. I'll see what I can do with Firefox then

Hey I'm looking to make a bot for /r/tf2trade that would help weed out some of the scammers that come to the subreddit. It would be accessed on initial sign up for each user. If you have any issues with this use of the API let me know beforehand. Thank you in advance!

I am currently developing an website about Team Fortress 2, where you also can view player profiles.
I need SteamRep Web API access to show on the player profiles their SteamRep status, it will only send an API request to the API if somebody visits an player profile.
It saves the output of the request in my database, and this is used to show again, except if the page is visited again after an day after the cache, then an new API request is made.

Hi,

I'm a grad student working on a network visualization project for an information visualization course. I'm trying to come up with a visualization of steam communities while identifying different clusters and user behavior. I'd like to request access to the steamrep web api. I plan to use it to identify possible scammers and middlemen in communities and find patterns. I'll be using this the api over the next 2 weeks maximum - after that you can revoke my access. I'd like to highlight the fact I'll be the only person using this - there are no other end users involved.

If needed, I can share further verification with mods via PM. I can also post results of the work later if you guys are interested.

Thanks.

The normal API is already accessible, the Web API offers more functions for web applications like forums to build in (links/check) It doesn't provide info where scammers where seen etc.

Its literally:
- You send the API a ID
- The WEB API sends you the status of that user: (community group's) Admin, Middleman, Scammer, Caution, etc.

It doesn't provide location of where a scammer has been active, or which communities have been asking for which scammer's info etc. If you still want the access, that wouldn't be a problem imo, but thats some for Mattie to handle.

I'd like access in order to write a library for other people to use. This'll allow people to use this API's functionality without having to bother about the underlying network communication.
Whether they use it responsibly or not isn't really my business, users of this library would have to apply for a key of their own.

P.S. Gravatar? Really?

I don't see the reasoning behind that, but very well, it's your system after all. I'll just keep an eye on it, then.

I would need access for blocking off marked scammers on dispenser.tf
