SteamUser
Allows interaction with the Steam network via the Steam client protocol
SteamUser allows you to communicate with the Steam servers in the same manner as a proper Steam client. It's designed to be a self-contained module which provides all the functionality expected of a Steam user client.
Node.js v14.0.0 or later is required.

Installation
Install it from npm:
$ npm install steam-user
Contents
Some of the documentation for SteamUser
, especially documentation for experimental features (but not exclusively),
is located in the GitHub wiki.
Patterns ^
There are a number of coding patterns that are repeated throughout SteamUser
. Please read this section in its
entirety before starting work with SteamUser
.
Callbacks and Promises
All methods listed in this document that accept a callback also return a Promise
. You may use either callbacks or
promises.
Legacy callbacks return their data spanning across multiple arguments. All promises (which return any data at all)
return a single object containing one or more properties. The names of these properties for legacy callbacks are the
names of the callback arguments listed in this readme. Newer callbacks return a single object response
argument, which
is identical to the promise output for that method.
Some methods indicate that their callback is required or optional. You are never required to use callbacks over promises, but if a callback is listed as optional then an unhandled promise rejection will not raise a warning/error. If a callback is listed as required and you neither supply a callback nor handle the promise rejection, then a promise rejection will raise a warning, and eventually a crash in a future Node.js release.
Enums ^
There are a lot of enums used in Steam. They're all available directly from SteamUser
. For example, access EResult
using SteamUser.EResult
.
All enums can be viewed on GitHub.
Additionally, for convenience, the name of an enum value is available from any enum at the key identified by the enum
value. For example, given an EResult of 88
you can translate it using SteamUser.EResult[88]
which gives you
the string TwoFactorCodeMismatch
.
Static Methods ^
Static methods, or functions attached directly to SteamUser
, are called on the root module and not on instantiated handler instances.
formatCurrency(amount, currency)
amount
- The amount of the currencycurrency
- The currency code value in theECurrencyCode
enum
Formats a currency value and returns a string. For example:
console.log(SteamUser.formatCurrency(12.34, SteamUser.ECurrencyCode.USD)); // $12.34
console.log(SteamUser.formatCurrency(12345, SteamUser.ECurrencyCode.JPY)); // ¥ 12345
console.log(SteamUser.formatCurrency(123.45, SteamUser.ECurrencyCode.EUR)); // 123,45€
Options ^
There are a number of options which can control the behavior of the SteamUser
object. They are:
dataDirectory
Controls where the Steam server list and machine auth token files are written. If null
, no data will be automatically
stored.
Defaults to a platform-specific user data directory.
- On OpenShift, this is
$OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/node-steamuser
- On Windows, this is
%localappdata%\doctormckay\node-steamuser
- On Mac, this is
~/Library/Application Support/node-steamuser
- On Linux, this is
$XDG_DATA_HOME/node-steamuser
, or~/.local/share/node-steamuser
if$XDG_DATA_HOME
isn't defined or is empty
Custom Storage Engine
If you don't want to (or can't) save data to the disk, you can implement your own storage engine. To do this, simply add the following code:
user.storage.on('save', function(filename, contents, callback) {
// filename is the name of the file, as a string
// contents is a Buffer containing the file's contents
// callback is a function which you MUST call on completion or error, with a single error argument
// For example:
someStorageSystem.saveFile(filename, contents, function(err) {
callback(err);
});
});
user.storage.on('read', function(filename, callback) {
// filename is the name of the file, as a string
// callback is a function which you MUST call on completion or error, with an error argument and a Buffer argument
// For example:
someStorageSystem.readFile(filename, function(err, file) {
if(err) {
callback(err);
return;
}
callback(null, file);
});
});
In this manner, you can save data to a database, a cloud service, or anything else you choose.
autoRelogin
A boolean which controls whether or not SteamUser
will automatically reconnect to Steam if disconnected due to Steam going down.
Defaults to true
.
machineIdType
What kind of machine ID will SteamUser send to Steam when logging on? Should be a value from EMachineIDType
.
Added in 1.7.0.
Defaults to AccountNameGenerated
.
machineIdFormat
If you're using machineIdType
AccountGenerated
, this is the format it uses. This is an array of three strings, each of which will be hashed with SHA1 before being sent to Steam. {account_name}
will be replaced with the current account name.
Added in 1.13.0.
Defaults to ["SteamUser Hash BB3 {account_name}", "SteamUser Hash FF2 {account_name}", "SteamUser Hash 3B3 {account_name}"]
.
enablePicsCache
If enabled, then node-steam-user
will internally cache data in memory about all apps and packages that it knows about.
Currently, node-steam-user
"knows about" an app/package if:
- Packages
- You own it, or
- You request info about it via
getProductInfo
- Apps
- It's in a known package, or
- You request info about it via
getProductInfo
, or - A friend who is online plays the app, or
- You request info about an online user who is playing it via
getPersonas
This option is required in order to use several methods and events. This works when logging in anonymously.
Added in 3.3.0.
Defaults to false
.
picsCacheAll
If picsCacheAll
is enabled, enablePicsCache
is enabled, and changelistUpdateInterval
is nonzero, then apps and
packages which get updated while your bot is running will also be added to the cache. Default behavior is to only cache
apps and packages that are "known" via the above criteria.
Added in 3.3.0.
Defaults to false
.
changelistUpdateInterval
If enablePicsCache
is enabled, then node-steam-user
will automatically request app/package changes (via
getProductChanges
) for known apps and packages, and update the internal cache when they update. This is the frequency,
in milliseconds, for changelist update requests. Set to 0
to disable.
Added in 3.3.0.
Defaults to 60000
. Minimum value 1000
, although you're recommended to not go below 10 seconds or so.
ownershipFilter
Specify a custom app/package ownership filter object or function to be applied to all calls to getOwned*()
and owns*()
where a filter is not specified in the method invocation. If you specify a filter
when you call getOwned*()
or owns*()
,
then that filter is applied and the global ownershipFilter
is ignored.
Added in 4.22.0.
Defaults to a filter that excludes expired licenses only.
This filter can be either an object or a function:
Filter Object
A filter object should contain zero or more of these properties:
excludeFree
- Passtrue
to exclude free licenses (no cost/guest pass/free on demand/free commercial license)excludeShared
- Passtrue
to exclude licenses acquired via family sharingexcludeExpiring
- Passtrue
to exclude licenses that have an expiration date (e.g. free weekends) but are not yet expired
Any omitted properties are assumed to be false
. If you don't specify an ownership filter, an empty object is assumed.
Filter Function
You can also provide your own custom filter function. This function will be called for each license owned by your account,
and should return true
to include a license or false
to exclude it. This function should have the same arguments
as the callback you'd pass to Array.prototype.filter.
The element
argument will be an object of type
Proto_CMsgClientLicenseList_License
(same as the licenses
property).
Please note that when you specify a custom filter function, expired licenses (e.g. past free weekends) will be sent to
your filter function as candidates for inclusion, but these licenses are filtered out in all other cases. You can determine
if a license is expired by checking if (license.flags & SteamUser.ELicenseFlags.Expired)
.
Example usage:
user.setOption('ownershipFilter', (license) => {
// only passes licenses that were acquired at least a year ago
let time = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
return time - license.time_created >= 60 * 60 * 24 * 365;
});
additionalHeaders
Set this to an object where keys are header names and values are header values, and those headers will be included
with all HTTP requests node-steam-user
makes to the Steam WebAPI.
Added in 3.29.0.
Defaults to {}
.
localAddress
Pass an IP here (as a string) to bind to that address, or null
to let the OS decide.
Added in 4.0.0.
Defaults to null
.
localPort
Pass a port here to bind to that port, or null
to let the OS decide.
Added in 4.0.0.
Defaults to null
.
httpProxy
Specify a URL here to use an HTTP proxy. For example, http://user:pass@1.2.3.4:8081
Added in 4.0.0.
socksProxy
Specify a URL here to use a SOCKS proxy. SOCKS4, SOCKS4a, and SOCKS5 are supported.
Example: socks5://x1234567:kNRLnUDG46@proxy-nl.privateinternetaccess.com:1080
Added in 4.26.0.
protocol
A value from EConnectionProtocol
.
Added in 4.0.0.
Defaults to Auto
.
language
Set this to the full name of a language (e.g. "english" or "spanish") to localize specific things within steam-user.
Currently this is only used to localize rich_presence_string
in user
event data and in requestRichPresence
.
Added in 4.0.0.
Defaults to english
.
webCompatibilityMode
If you're having trouble connecting to Steam (e.g. through a firewall or a proxy), set this to true
. When in web
compatibility mode, connections to Steam will always use WebSockets (the protocol
option will be ignored, and you
will get a warning if you set it to TCP
), and only Steam servers listening on port 443 will be considered.
Added in 4.6.0.
Defaults to false
.
saveAppTickets
If true, then calls to getAppOwnershipTicket
will save ownership tickets to disk and will return cached tickets unless they are expired.
Added in 3.5.0.
Defaults to true
.
renewRefreshTokens
If true, then SteamUser
will attempt to renew your refresh token every time you call logOn()
by
passing a refresh token. If renewal succeeds, the refreshToken
event will be emitted, and the refresh
token you used to log on will become invalid.
Added in 5.0.0.
Defaults to false
.

Logs onto Steam. Omit the details
object if you wish to login to an anonymous user account.
There are five ways to log onto Steam:
- Anonymously
- Pass
anonymous: true
to log onto an anonymous user account - These properties are optional:
machineName
clientOS
- All other properties must not be provided
- In versions of steam-user prior to 4.27.0, logging on anonymously was accomplished by simply omitting
refreshToken
andaccountName
(or omitting thedetails
object entirely). If neither property was set then steam-user would default to logging on anonymously. This is still current behavior, but logging on in this manner is now deprecated. If you now calllogOn()
without providing arefreshToken
oraccountName
and without specifyinganonymous: true
, then steam-user will raise a warning and then log on anonymously.
- Pass
- Individually using a refresh token (recommended)
- These properties are required:
refreshToken
- These properties are optional:
steamID
- If provided, steam-user will check to make sure that the providedrefreshToken
matches this SteamID. If SteamIDs don't match, the app will crash.logonID
- Defaults to 0 if not specified.machineName
- Defaults to empty string if not specified.clientOS
- Defaults to an auto-detected value if not specified.
- These properties must not be provided:
accountName
password
machineAuthToken
webLogonToken
authCode
twoFactorCode
- These properties are required:
- Individually using account name and password
- These properties are required:
accountName

- These properties are optional:
machineAuthToken
- Specify if you are logged into an account with email Steam Guard and you have a valid machine tokenauthCode
- Specify if you are using an email Steam Guard code.twoFactorCode
- Specify if you are using a TOTP two-factor code (required if your account has 2FA enabled).logonID
- Defaults to 0 if not specified.machineName
- Defaults to empty string if not specified.clientOS
- Defaults to an auto-detected value if not specified.
- These properties must not be provided:
webLogonToken
steamID
- These properties are required:
- Individually using account name and client logon token obtained from the web (deprecated)
- NOTE: If you log on this way,
webSession
will NOT be emitted automatically, and you will need to usewebLogOn()
to get a web session. - These properties are required:
accountName
webLogonToken
steamID
- These properties must not be provided:
password
machineAuthToken
authCode
twoFactorCode
logonID
machineName
clientOS
- NOTE: If you log on this way,
Using Refresh Tokens
The Steam client uses refresh tokens when logging on. You can obtain a refresh token using the
steam-session module, or you can log on to steam-user using your account name and password as normal. When
logging on using your account name and password, steam-user will internally fetch a refresh token, emit the
refreshToken
event, and then use that token to log on to Steam.
As of 2022-09-03, refresh tokens are JWTs that are valid for ~200 days. You can keep using the same refresh token to log
on until it expires. You can find out when a token expires by decoding it and checking
the exp
property, which is a Unix timestamp indicating when the token expires.
If you attempt to log on using a refresh token that isn't valid for use with client logins, the app will crash with a relevant error message.
Machine Auth Tokens
When using email Steam Guard, machine auth tokens are used to remember a device, in order to bypass the requirement to
provide a code every time you login. By default, steam-user will automatically save your machine auth tokens in your
data directory, but you can also manage them yourself by listening for the machineAuthToken
event and providing the token as a machineAuthToken
property when you log on.
logOff()
Logs you off of Steam and closes the connection.
relog()
v3.18.0 or later is required to use this method
Logs you off of Steam and then immediately back on. This can only be used if one of the following criteria are met:
- You're logged into an anonymous account
- You're logged into an individual account and you logged in using an account name and password
- You're logged into an individual account and you used a
refreshToken
to log on
Attempts to call this method under any other circumstance will result in an Error
being thrown and nothing else will happen.
When used, disconnected
and then loggedOn
will be emitted in succession. This is essentially the same as using
logOff()
and then calling logOn()
immediately in the disconnected
event callback.
webLogOn()
SteamUser
will automatically log onto steamcommunity.com when a successful connection to Steam is established (as an
individual user), but you can call webLogOn()
to create a new session if your old one expires or becomes invalid.
Listen for the webSession
event to get your cookies.
requestValidationEmail([callback])

- Optional. Called when a response is availableerr
- AnError
object on failure, ornull
on success
Requests Steam to send you a validation email to your registered email address.

If you have a phone number linked with your account, then you'll be sent an SMS with an activation code. Otherwise,
you'll receive the activation code by email. You'll need to provide the activation code to finalizeTwoFactor
.
You should save the entire response
object somewhere secure. You can use JSON.stringify
on it safely.
Properties of note in the response
object:

The output of this function will contain all AppIDs that are present in at least one license that was not filtered out.
For example, if you previously activated a free on demand package for Spacewar but later activated a retail CD key for
the same, it will be included if you pass {excludeFree: true}
as your filter since you own it both via a free package
and via a paid package.

Requests a free-on-demand license to be granted to your account.
Older free-to-play games are in the "Steam" package (package ID 0). This package is automatically granted to all accounts (but not anonymous ones). Games in this package do not need a license to be explicitly requested.
All newer free-to-play games have "free-on-demand packages". These are packages that are not automatically granted to all accounts, but will be granted upon request ("on demand"). This is so that the Steam client can show free-to-play games you have previously added to your library when not installed. In order to "play" any free-to-play app that isn't in sub 0, you need to request a license for it using this method.
If successful, calling this method will result in the licenses
event being emitted containing your new
license(s).
Please note: This method is rate-limited to approximately 50 apps per hour.
Please note: This method only works with free-on-demand licenses. Promotional free licenses (i.e. "free to keep for a limited time") cannot be requested using this method. You can request such licenses using the steamstore module's addFreeLicense method.

object. Otherwise, it'snull
.encryptedAppTicket
- If successful, this is your encrypted appticket as a Buffer. You should provide the entire contents of the Buffer to the recipient.
v3.14.0 or later is required to use this method
Requests an "encrypted app ticket" from Steam servers for a particular game. This can be used to prove your ownership of an app and also your account identity to some publisher server, provided they're expecting an encrypted app ticket. To use encrypted app tickets, publishers must set up an encryption key in the Steamworks backend. Therefore, this will not work if encrypted tickets haven't been set up for the AppID you request a ticket for. You cannot decrypt an encrypted app ticket, nor can you view anything it contains. It is for all intents and purposes an opaque blob of binary data which only the developer/publisher of the game can do anything with.
sendToGC(appid, msgType, protoBufHeader, payload[, callback])
v4.1.0 or later is required to use this method
Please see documentation for GC interaction on the GitHub wiki.
Events ^
ID Events
Events marked as ID events are special. They all have a SteamID
object as their first parameter. In addition to the
event itself firing, a second event comprised of eventName + "#" + steamID.getSteamID64()
is fired.
For example:
// This will fire when we receive a chat message from ANY friend
user.on('friendMessage', function(steamID, message) {
console.log("Friend message from " + steamID.getSteam3RenderedID() + ": " + message);
});
// This will fire when we receive a chat message from [U:1:46143802] / 76561198006409530 ONLY
user.on('friendMessage#76561198006409530', function(steamID, message) {
console.log("Friend message from " + steamID.getSteam3RenderedID() + ": " + message);
});
loggedOn
details
- An object containing various details about your account (seeCMsgClientLogonResponse
)parental
- An object containing your parental controls settings
v3.5.0 or later is required to use parental
.
Emitted when you're successfully logged into Steam.
steamGuard
domain
- If an email code is needed, the domain name of the address where the email was sent.null
if an app code is needed.callback
- Should be called when the code is available.code
- The Steam Guard auth code
lastCodeWrong
-true
if you're using 2FA and the last code you provided was wrong,false
otherwise
This event will be emitted when Steam requests a Steam Guard code from us.
You should collect the code from the user somehow and then call the callback
with the code as the sole argument.
If no listener is bound to this event, then steam-user
will prompt the user for a code via stdin.
If you are using 2FA, you need to check the lastCodeWrong
argument. If it's true, then the last code you provided
was incorrect (likely already used). In this case, you should wait 30 seconds to allow the TOTP algorithm to generate a
new code. Failure to do so will result in a login loop, causing your IP address to be temporarily banned.
Example:
user.on('steamGuard', function(domain, callback) {
console.log("Steam Guard code needed from email ending in " + domain);
var code = getCodeSomehow();
callback(code);
});
error
err
- AnError
object
Emitted when an error occurs during logon. Also emitted if we're disconnected and autoRelogin
is either disabled, or it's a fatal disconnect.
If this event isn't handled, the program will crash.
The SteamUser
object's steamID
property will still be defined when this is emitted. The Error
object will have an eresult
parameter which is a value from the EResult
enum.
disconnected
eresult
- A value from theSteamUser.EResult
enummsg
- A string describing the reason for the disconnect, if available (might be undefined)
Emitted when we're disconnected from Steam for a non-fatal reason and autoRelogin
is enabled. SteamUser
will
continually retry connection and will either emit loggedOn
when logged back on, or error
if a fatal logon error is
experienced.
Also emitted in response to a logOff() call.
The SteamUser
object's steamID
property will still be defined when this is emitted.
The eresult
value might be 0 (Invalid), which indicates that the disconnection was due to the connection being closed
directly, without Steam sending a LoggedOff message.
machineAuthToken
machineAuthToken
- A string containing your new machine auth token
v4.29.0 or later is required to use this event
Emitted when a new machine auth token is issued. This is only relevant for accounts using email Steam Guard. Even if you are using email Steam Guard, you likely don't need to worry about this event as steam-user will automatically manage your machine auth tokens for you.
This may be emitted before loggedOn
fires.
refreshToken
refreshToken
- A string containing your new refresh token
v5.0.0 or later is required to use this event
Emitted when a new refresh token is issued. This will always be emitted when logging on using an account name and password,
and when logging on using an existing refresh token, this may be emitted if a new refresh token is issued because your
provided token is nearly expired (only if renewRefreshTokens
is set to true).
This may be emitted before loggedOn
fires.
webSession
sessionID
- The value of thesessionid
cookiecookies
- An array of cookies, asname=value
strings
Emitted when a steamcommunity.com web session is successfully negotiated.
This will automatically be emitted on logon (unless you used a webLogonToken
to log on) and in response to
webLogOn
calls.
Some libraries require you to provide your sessionID
, others don't. If the library you're using doesn't need you to
provide a sessionID
, then you can safely ignore it.
Read more about how cookies work and interact with other modules.
newItems
count

tradeOffers
count
- How many active received trade offers you have (can be 0)
Emitted when Steam sends a notification of new trade offers. This gets emitted shortly after logon iff it's nonzero, and every time it changes thereafter (i.e. both when you receive a trade offer and when an active trade offer you received gets accepted/canceled/declined).
communityMessages
count
- How many unread community (moderator) messages you have (can be 0)
v3.26.0 or later is required to use this event

-Date
object indicating when the notification expiresviewed
-Date
object indicating when the notification was viewed, ornull
if not yet viewed
v5.2.0 or later is required to use this event
Emitted when the Steam backend notifies us of new or changed notifications. The behavior is not 100% intuitive, but here is what has been observed:
- If a new notification is received, this will be emitted with only that new notification. Any other pending notification
will not be included in the
