Searching SteamDB for Free Games and Activating them using ArchiSteamFarm 

# Status

A Workaround is being implemented.

(Currently broken See: https://github.com/Nickwasused/FreeGamesonSteam/issues/41)

# Requirements

* Steam Web Api Key [here](https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey)

* ArchiSteamFarm running with IPC Enabled

# Info

Python: 3.9


CPU-Tested: AMD64, ARM64

# Important!

You need to enable the IPC interface.

Put this in your ASF.json:

```

{

	"IPC": true

}

```

and

You need to edit the Config file: ```mv steamconfig.py.example steamconfig.py```
``` nano steamconfig.py ```

```

class config:

    boturl = 'http://127.0.0.1:1242'

    botip = '127.0.0.1'

    bots = ["main"]

    fetch_games_url = "https://store.steampowered.com/search/?specials=1&maxprice=free"

    # Get your Key here: https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

    steam_api_key = "ADD YOUR STEAM API KEY HERE"

```

# Setup for Raspberry-Pi

1. You need ArchiSteamFarm running on ``` 127.0.0.1:1242 ```

2. Download the Script and Config: ```git clone [email protected]:Nickwasused/FreeGamesonSteam.git steam```

3. Go into the Directory ```cd steam```

4. Install Dependencies ```pip3 install -r requirements.txt```

5. Create the Service and timer file:

	- Path: ``` /etc/systemd/system/steam.service```

	- Content : 

	```

	[Unit]

	Description=Steam service

	After=network.target

	StartLimitIntervalSec=0

	[Service]

	Type=simple

	User=pi

	ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/steam/steam.py

	WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/steam/

	[Install]

	WantedBy=multi-user.target

	```

				

	- Path: ``` /etc/systemd/system/steam.timer```

	- Content : 

	```

	[Unit]

	Description=Execute Steam

	[Timer]

	OnCalendar=*-*-* 18:00:00

	Unit=steam.service

	[Install]

	WantedBy=multi-user.target

	```

	

6. Enable and Start the Services:

	- ``` sudo systemctl enable steam.service ```

	- ``` sudo systemctl enable steam.timer ```

	- ``` sudo systemctl start steam.service ```

	- ``` sudo systemctl start steam.timer ```

# Notice

The Service assumes that the Script is located here: ``` /home/pi/steam/steam.py ``` 


And the Service assumes that the Config is located here: ``` /home/pi/steam/steamconfig.py ```
