I'm confused. As far as I know, SG uses the same game IDs as Steam.
Are you talking about something else?

Okay, so I coded a scraper in JavaScript, which works pretty well.
var db = "";
var terminate = false;
function start() {
for (var i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
collect(String.fromCharCode(i), 1);
}
}
function stop() {
terminate = true;
}
function show() {
console.log(db.slice(0, -1), db.slice(0, -1).split(",").map(function(x){return x.split(":");}));
}
function collect(query, page) {
if (!terminate) {
var data = { search_query: query, page_number: page, do: "autocomplete_game" };
$.ajax({
url: "/ajax.php",
method: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: data,
success: function(json) {
var html = json.html;
if (html.length > 0) {
$("[data-autocomplete-id]", html).each(function() {
if ($(this).find("[href*='//store.steampowered.com/app/']").length > 0) {
var gameid = $(this).attr("data-autocomplete-id");
var appid = $(this).find("[href*='//store.steampowered.com/app/']").attr("href").split("/")[4];
var dbitem = appid + ":" + gameid;
if (db.indexOf(dbitem) == -1) {
db += dbitem + ",";
console.log("Added " + dbitem);
}
}
});
if ($(".fa-angle-right", html).length > 0) {
collect(query, page+1);
}
}
}
});
}
}
Run this code anywhere on SteamGifts, use start()
to start scraping the data, use stop()
to stop and use show()
to show the data that was collected (format: appid:gameid). Here is data I collected for only running it a little while.
Edit:
Ran it a few hours and collected around 20K Game and DLC ID's.

If anyone is interested I am hosting a public JSON file / API where you can find AppID's with their corresponding game id's.

Hey, I am looking for a good way to convert Steam AppID to SteamGifts GameID for a project I am working on.
Is there maybe some API perhaps?
The only way I currently see how to do this, is to convert the Steam AppID to the game title and then lookup the game title on steamgifts to get the GameID. But this method is pretty sloppy. I hope there is a better way.
Thanks
Edit:
I made an API that returns all appid's with their corresponding gameid.
