Web Api Key ...

[Whiteclaws]

Hi there ,
I recently discovered this library for Java, and I would like to access some people's backpacks , but ... the problem is that I want to get an API key , but not necesseraly make a website for it ... just use it in my java project , I know I can set the api key with WebApi.setApiKey(String) , but how would I get it if my application doesn't have a website ?

Sincerely,
Whiteclaws

You can get one at http://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey even if your application itself doesn't have a website at the given domain. Just use a domain that's somehow linked to yourself. Valve probably allows subdomains here, so you might not even need to own a domain yourself. The domain is not that important, I guess.

+1 to domain not being that important. I used the domain of the company I work for, which has nothing to do with valve or what I needed my API key for. My request went through just fine.

The problem here is that Valve has one API key per Steam account.

So in fact you link your application(s) to your private account if you don't create a new Steam account for every application.

This might get problematic when you get banned or similar.
