Rsteamshot

Build Status

Rsteamshot is a Ruby gem for getting screenshots a user has uploaded to their Steam profile, as well as screenshots uploaded for a particular game. You can find the newest screenshots as well as the most popular screenshots. Screenshots can be paginated.

There's no Steam API that I know of that provides this screenshot data, so this gem works by using Mechanize to do web scraping on steamcommunity.com.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rsteamshot'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rsteamshot

Usage

# Specify where the latest list of apps from Steam should be downloaded as a JSON file, and
# referenced when looking up app IDs:
Rsteamshot.configure do |config|
  config.apps_list_path = 'apps-list.json'
end

# Get screenshots uploaded by a Steam user:
steam_user_name = 'cheshire137'
user = Rsteamshot::User.new(steam_user_name)
user.per_page = 10
order = 'newestfirst' # also: score, oldestfirst
screenshots = user.screenshots(order: order)
screenshots += user.screenshots(order: order, page: 2)

# Search Steam apps by name:
apps = Rsteamshot::App.search('witcher 3')

# Filter a user's screenshots to those for a particular app:
