SteamDissector

SteamDissector is an library/service that can be used to fetch data from Steam, such as user info, user's games and game's details.

Goals:

SteamDissector is primarily made for use in conjunction with SteamDissector web ui.

Goal is to create a service that can be used to sort your Steam game library better, and answer questions such as:

• "What controller enabled games do I have?"
• "What multiplayer games my friend and I both own?"
• "Which game is the latest adventure game I have?"

Dependencies and libraries used:

• MongoDB for cache, since the Steam store is pretty slow.
• BeautifulSoup
