Migration Guide

Package rename

The maintained Composer package is:

teemocell/steam-web-api

Remove the previously installed package requirement, then install the maintained package:

composer require teemocell/steam-web-api

The package uses the following PHP namespace:

use TeemoCell\SteamWebApi\Client;

API key environment variable

Use:

STEAM_API_KEY=your-key-here

Publish or refresh config/steam-api.php in Laravel applications if necessary.

Client construction

Prefer the explicit constructor and typed factory methods:

$steam = new Client(apiKey: $apiKey);

$steam->news();
$steam->player($steamId);
$steam->user($steamId);
$steam->userStats($steamId);

Achievement endpoint

Replace the deprecated alias:

$steam->userStats($steamId)->GetPlayerAchievementsAPI($appId);

with:

$steam->userStats($steamId)->GetPlayerAchievements($appId);

The corrected method uses ISteamUserStats/GetPlayerAchievements/v1. Use GetPlayerAchievementsFromCommunity() only when the legacy Community XML response is explicitly required.

Shared-game ownership

IsPlayingSharedGame() is no longer documented by Steam. Publisher integrations can migrate to:

$publisher = (new Client(apiKey: $publisherKey))->publisher();
$ownership = $publisher->CheckAppOwnership($steamId, $appId);

This call requires a publisher key and must run on a trusted server.

Current services

New typed clients are available for:

• workshop()
• webApi()
• gameServers()
• publisher()

See Endpoint reference for supported methods and access requirements.

Verification checklist

1. Replace the Composer package name.
2. Use TeemoCell\SteamWebApi imports.
3. Confirm STEAM_API_KEY is configured.
4. Replace deprecated achievement calls.
5. Run offline tests.
6. Test privacy-sensitive and publisher endpoints with appropriate accounts and keys.
