Steam Bots: How to get shared and identity secrets

If you're looking into automating transactions in your Steam Account using Steam Bots, you most likely will need to:

Have TOTP ("MFA" or "2FA") enabled via Steam Authenticator (Steam Guard)
Have in hands both shared secret and identity secret

Having Steam Guard enabled for your Steam Account ensures that there will be no holds on transactions such as trades. Having the shared and identity secrets are necessary for complete autonomy of your Steam Bot, meaning it won't require any human interaction from you.

There is a tremendous lack of information about all of this as Steam does not provide official support for implementing Steam Bots. The information available in this guide was gathered through lots of ~~blood and sweat~~ hard research, reverse eng

usage

Create an account at https://openweathermap.org and get an API key. Note that it can take up to a couple of hours for the key to become active. Add an environment variable OPEN_WEATHER_API_KEY with the value of the key.

run the script:

./weather.clj Toronto,CA

Stream Mastodon activity into a SQLite database

This script subscribes to the live HTTP feed of public activity on my Mastodon instance and writes the results into SQLite database tables.

It needs sqlite-utils and httpx:

pip install sqlite-utils httpx

Then run:

HOWTO install `#user/uri` reader extension in Clojure/Script

We use #user/uri rather than unquaified #uri per Alex Miller comment in the Ask Clojure thread.

Frameworks

Let’s define a framework as any library that contains one or more functions that accept callbacks.

Web frameworks are great for beginner developers who need to get stuff done. But they ultimately force you into a corner. In most applications, experienced developers need to retain control. Libraries are better.
