🚀 Installation

To get this project up and running on your local machine, follow these steps:

1. Download the steam.php file: You can either clone the repository (if applicable) or simply download the steam.php file directly.

2. Obtain a Steam Web API Key:

   • Visit the Steam Web API Key registration page.
   • Log in with your Steam account and register a new API key. You can use any domain name, even localhost if you're running it locally.

3. Configure the API Key: Open the steam.php file and locate the $steamApiKey variable. Replace the empty string with your newly obtained Steam Web API Key.

   // In steam.php
   $steamApiKey = 'YOUR_STEAM_WEB_API_KEY_HERE'; // <-- Replace this line with your actual API key

4. Set up a Web Server with PHP: You'll need a web server (like Apache or Nginx) with PHP installed and configured.

   • Place the steam.php file in your web server's document root (e.g., htdocs for Apache, www for Nginx).

   Alternatively, for quick local testing, you can use PHP's built-in web server:

   php -S localhost:8000

   Then, navigate to http://localhost:8000/steam.php in your web browser.

▶️ Usage

1. Once the steam.php file is accessible via your web server, open it in your browser.

2. You will see a simple form asking for a Steam ID.

3. Enter a valid SteamID64 (a 17-digit number) or a profile link into the input field.

4. Click "Senden" (Submit) to view the profile and game statistics.

   Example SteamID64: 76561197960435530 (Valve's Robin Walker) Example Profile Link: [76561197960435530](https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197960435530/) (Valve's Robin Walker)
