SteamPlayed

This will call the the steam api every by default 30 mins and get the most recently played games and save any games into a local database with the date.

Setup

The following env vars are needed

STEAM_KEY
STEAM_ID

STEAM_KEY can be generate within steam here STEAM_ID can be found by searching your username here

Unsure if the steam profile has to be public

Setting the INTERVAL env var allows the configuration of how often it runs within an hour. For example interval of 30 will run every half and hour whereas an interval of 15 will run every 15 mins.

Running locally

If you want to run it locally then run the command below

STEAM_KEY=replace_me STEAM_ID=replace_me INTERVAL=replace_me npm start

Running inside docker

If you want to run inside docker then simply run the command below and mount a volume from the host to persist the games.db

docker run -e "STEAM_KEY=replace_me"  -e "STEAM_ID=replace_me" -e "INTERVAL=replace_me" -v <path>:/app/data thatsourjake/steam_played

If you want to mount a directory within a folder for an absolute path this snippet can be helpful

# Mount /data at the current working directory
-v $PWD/data:/app/data

Processing the Games Db

The games db used nedb this in theory means you can use this package and point it at the existing games db and run queries again it. Haven't tried it yet so I recommend backing it up until I update this readme.
