Hey guys,

googled for 2 days but haven’t found anything. Has anyone successfully connected an app to Steam to retrieve the Steam session ticket and Steam ID for an user?

Thanks

It has been a while since I looked at the code, but we have a Steamworks plugin sample on our github page:

I’m pretty sure it fetches player information.

Hi Rob,

I’ve stumbled upon this plugin but it only supports desktop apps. Before I start playing around and try to make it work for iOS/Android, has this been done before?

Thanks

Steam is a desktop only service. They don’t have mobile SDK’s for us to build a plugin with that I’m aware of.

They provide a Rest API and require OpenID for authentication. I couldn’t find a decent Open ID implementation I could use, any thoughts?

I am unaware of any OpenID implementations.
