Installation

Requirements

The package supports PHP 8.2 and newer. Laravel integration requires Laravel 12.61.1 or newer, or Laravel 13.12.0 or newer. The required PHP extensions are listed in composer.json.

Install with Composer

composer require teemocell/steam-web-api

Composer loads the package through PSR-4 under the TeemoCell\SteamWebApi namespace.

Create a Steam Web API key

Create a key at steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey. Keep it on the server and do not commit it to Git.

For framework-independent PHP, pass the key directly:

use TeemoCell\SteamWebApi\Client;

$steam = new Client(apiKey: $_ENV['STEAM_API_KEY']);

For Laravel, add it to .env:

STEAM_API_KEY=your-key-here

Laravel package discovery registers the service provider automatically. See Laravel integration for dependency injection, the facade and configuration publishing.

Development installation

git clone https://github.com/TeemoCell/SteamWebAPI.git
cd SteamWebAPI
composer install

Copy .env.example to .env only when live API tests are needed. Offline tests do not require a real key.
