SteamKit2 is a .NET library for interoperating with Valve's Steam network protocol. It provides a simple, extensible interface for performing actions on the Steam network programmatically.

Use cases

  • interact with the Steam network from .NET
  • log in to Steam programmatically
  • send and receive Steam network messages
  • build Steam bots or automation tools
  • query Steam user and game data
  • reverse-engineer Steam protocol interactions

When to choose

  • you need a .NET library to communicate with Steam's network protocol
  • you're building bots, tools, or services that automate Steam actions
  • you want an extensible, community-maintained Steam client library

When to avoid

  • you only need official Steam Web API access rather than the network protocol
  • your project is not on .NET
  • you need a supported, officially sanctioned Steam API (Valve does not officially support this library)
