Whenever I try to fetch the public Steam user profile data I get the following error:

(I have replaced my API key and ID with XX since they are not the issue)

Response {

  },
  [Symbol(Response internals)]: {
    url: 'https://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUser/GetPlayerSummaries/v0002/?key=XX&steamids=XX',
    status: 200,
    statusText: 'OK',
    headers: Headers { [Symbol(map)]: [Object: null prototype] },
    counter: 0
  }
}

I have tried using all types of Steam Ids, which didn't change the outcome, though incorrect ID types return a 404, ID64 and ID as name return a 200. Also tried setting up CORS headers, which made no difference, so I don't understand why I am getting a response like this. When I put the same API link into the browser URL, I get normally redirected to the JSON page containing all my profile data.

This is my code (I am using node-fetch for fetching the API data):

router.get('/fetch', async(req, res) => {
    try {

        const steamAPIUser = "https://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUser/GetPlayerSummaries/v0002/?key=XX&steamids=XX"
        let data = await fetch(steamAPIUser, { method: 'get', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }})

        log(data)
        res.send(data)
    } catch(err) {
        log(err)
        res.send(err)
    }
    
})

  • Node-fetch behaves differently than normal fetch. In a nutshell it returns readable stream and not the raw json data. Check my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57664058/response-body-getreader-is-not-a-function/57664622#57664622 Code 200 means OK, so your response is not failing. – Valentin Sep 05 '19 at 12:47
