Shields: Steam workshop item stats to shield

[Jaxe-Dev]

Any chance for getting Steam workshop item subscribers and other info on a shield? That info I believe can be freely retrieved so I assume it could be used for a shield

When you say "can be freely retrieved", is there an API that this can be fetched from. That will help is anyone is interested in contributing this

There is an API documented here!

The important calls are:

1. GetCollectionDetails
2. GetPublishedFileDetails

The rest all require API keys and are not useful in this case.

Example GetPublishedFileDetails

curl -i -X POST \
   -H "Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
   -d "itemcount=1" \
   -d "publishedfileids[0]=1489377853" \
 'https://api.steampowered.com/ISteamRemoteStorage/GetPublishedFileDetails/v1/?format=json'

Example GetCollectionDetails

curl -i -X POST \
   -H "Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
   -d "collectioncount=2" \
   -d "publishedfileids[0]=180077636" \
   -d "publishedfileids[1]=116572450" \
 'https://api.steampowered.com/ISteamRemoteStorage/GetCollectionDetails/v1/?format=json'

EDIT: I am going to take a shot at this.
