Installation

Requirements

The package supports PHP 8.1 and newer and Laravel 10 through 13. 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.
