Steam API: Current Game #46
Description
So if you plan on reintroducing the steam API to Dan why not add this feature:
Current Game
Have Dan check every 5 minutes or so to see if a defined user is playing a game, and make it so that if the same game is being played twice in 2 checks, that it doesn't repeatedly report it and only report it once the user changes game, stops playing, or goes offline.
API that you can use to get current game can be found here https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_Web_API#GetPlayerSummaries_.28v0002.29
Under private data
gameid
API link is http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUser/GetPlayerSummaries/v0002/?key=APIKEY&steamids=STEAMID

Interesting idea.
Not sure how much traffic Steam allows on its API with only a dev API key. You're also unable to access private profiles.
