Steam for Go

This library implements Steam's protocol to allow automation of different actions on Steam without running an actual Steam client. It is based on SteamKit2, a .NET library.

In addition, it contains APIs to Steam Community features, like trade offers and inventories.

Some of the currently implemented features:

• Trading and trade offers, including inventories and notifications
• Friend and group management
• Chatting with friends
• Persona states (online, offline, looking to trade, etc.)
• SteamGuard
• Team Fortress 2: Crafting, moving, naming and deleting items

If this is useful to you, there's also the go-steamapi package that wraps some of the official Steam Web API's types.

Installation

go get github.com/Philipp15b/go-steam

Usage

You can view the documentation with the godoc tool or online on godoc.org.

You should also take a look at the following sub-packages:

• gsbot utilites that make writing bots easier
• example bot and its source code
• trade for trading
• tradeoffer for trade offers
• economy/inventory for inventories
• tf2 for Team Fortress 2 related things

Updating go-steam to a new SteamKit version

To update go-steam to a new version of SteamKit, do the following:

go get github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go/
git submodule init && git submodule update
cd generator
go run generator.go clean proto steamlang

Make sure that $GOPATH/bin / protoc-gen-go is in your $PATH. You'll also need protoc, the protocol buffer compiler. At the moment, we use Protocol Buffers 2.6.1 with proco-gen-go-2402d76.

To compile the Steam Language files, you also need the .NET Framework on Windows or mono on other operating systems.

Apply the protocol changes where necessary.
