steamspy
SteamSpy — Steam game ownership and player stats
steamspy is a single pure-Go binary. It reads public steamspy data
over plain HTTPS, shapes it into clean records, and prints output that pipes
into the rest of your tools. No API key, nothing to run alongside it.
The same package is also a resource-URI driver,
so a host program like ant can address
steamspy as steamspy:// URIs.
Install
go install github.com/tamnd/steamspy-cli/cmd/steamspy@latest
Or grab a prebuilt binary from the releases, or run
the container image:
docker run --rm ghcr.io/tamnd/steamspy:latest --help
Usage
steamspy page <path> # fetch one page as a record
steamspy page <path> -o json # as JSON, ready for jq
steamspy page <path> --template '{{.Body}}' # just the readable body text
steamspy links <path> # the pages it links to, one per line
steamspy --help # the whole command tree
Every command shares one output contract: -o table|json|jsonl|csv|tsv|url|raw,
--fields to pick columns, --template for a custom line, and -n to limit.
The default adapts to where output goes (a table on a terminal, JSONL in a
pipe), so the same command reads well by hand and parses cleanly downstream.
This is a fresh scaffold. It ships one example resource type, page, wired end
to end. Model the real steamspy records in steamspy/ and declare their
operations in steamspy/domain.go; each one becomes a command, an HTTP
route, and an MCP tool at once.
Serve it
The same operations are available over HTTP and as an MCP tool set for agents,
with no extra code:
steamspy serve --addr :7777 # GET /v1/page/<path> returns NDJSON
steamspy mcp # speak MCP over stdio
Use it as a resource-URI driver
steamspy registers a steamspy domain the way a program registers a
database driver with database/sql. A host enables it with one blank import:
import _ "github.com/tamnd/steamspy-cli/steamspy"
Then ant (or any program that links the package)
dereferences steamspy:// URIs without knowing anything about steamspy:
ant get steamspy://page/<path> # fetch the record
ant cat steamspy://page/<path> # just the body text
ant ls steamspy://page/<path> # the pages it links to, each addressable
ant url steamspy://page/<path> # the live https URL
Development
cmd/steamspy/ thin main: hands cli.NewApp to kit.Run
cli/ assembles the kit App from the steamspy domain
steamspy/ the library: HTTP client, data models, and domain.go (the driver)

Releasing
Push a version tag and GitHub Actions runs GoReleaser, which builds the
archives, Linux packages, the multi-arch GHCR image, checksums, SBOMs, and a
cosign signature:
git tag v0.1.0
git push --tags
The Homebrew and Scoop steps self-disable until their tokens exist, so the first
release works with no extra secrets.
