SteamSpy v1.2.0.2 (formally known as Steam Profiler)

[Drunken Cheetah]

A little about the program;

I created this tool mainly for server owners, to quickly and effeiciently get information about a player all in one place with the option to export it to .pdf - Its made in vb.net, and utilizes HtmlAgilityPack as the main form of getting all the data from different places. 

You may be asking "Why use this tool when there is many steamid websites" .. well that is true, but this tool was designed using all of the known websites but just displays it all in the program, as each website offer different statistics about a player.

 

I discovered HtmlAgilityPack and wanted to learn more about it, so this is the program I have whipped up using it.

 

Known Issues: 

• I have made effort to detect if the steamid is valid, while this can still be avoided by entering "765xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" which will still try and search for the steamid since it contains 765. If you do this, the program will crash. It is highly recommended to use a real steamid.

• Sometimes the nodes will not connect properly after searching for a steamid. If the program hangs, give it sometime to load everything it needs to load. If after 5-10 minutes nothing has loaded, you will need to force close it.

• Some steam username's will return an error illegal characters in path - I am still looking into finding a way around this. If you do get an error "Illegal Characters in Path" you will still get information about the player, but you wont be able to export it. 

Not A bug:

• After searching a steamid the program will become unresponsive for a short amount of time, this is purely because the program is searching the nodes for the information. Usually its about 50 seconds, but could take longer. If you choose to "Auto Export" it may take longer.

•  The program can only search for a steamid. Vanity URL's are not accepted at the moment. 

 

If you have any issues saving files, exporting or any other errors. Please try run the program as admin.

 

Starting the program for the first time

Once you've installed the program using the .msi provided, a folder will be created called "SteamSpy" in C:\ProgramData - from there, there will be another folder created called SS-Exports. This folder is used for exporting player information, so each player will get their own folder and in that folder will be the exported pdf file.

 

The folder Userdata is created as that's the folder where the "Recently searched" steamid's will be.

Love it, One thing I did notice was when you click search it does not tell you that your search and or dose not auto switch you to the results. Also you might want to note that when a profile is set to private a lot of the information returns unknown since the profile is private.

Also where it says the version it says 1201 instead of 1.2.1

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll change it so it switches to the results, and yes if a profile is set to private it will return vague information about it. There is some text on the main page but I forgot to make it visible (oops) 

for the version; it’s 1.2.0.1 but the way the update is setup, it reads the value without the points it was setup like that to avoid confusion within the checking updates side of it. Hence why it’s 1201. I’ll have a look at a better update feature in a future update.

Update v1.2.0.2 :

• Changed when user searches for a player, it will now take you to the first tab. - Thanks @GraveYard
• Fixed "Illegal Characters in Path" issue.
• Changed how the program updates, and checks for updates works.
• Removed "Save Settings" from settings page.
• Added "Open File" option to Exports. To open the selected .pdf easier quicker.
• Version information will now display the actual version (e.g: 1.2.0.2). Each update this number will increase by 1, unless its a major update.
• Made the label visible to let you know if you search a profile that is private.
• You can download the update from the Releases or directly from here
• You need to uninstall previous version to install new version. I am trying to find a way around this.

To use the update feature the program must be ran as administrator. It will throw an error if you do not.

I would say another thing is when you search sometimes it freezes when you search someone for a sec then switches. Maybe add a search notification so user don't think it crashed.

Everywhere I have posted the release I have added this in every first post.

I can add something else in there though.
