(IE Automation) Read game details from Steam Store

[AdmiralAlkex]

I'm working on something that is more or less a list of my games from Steam and now I want to get their capabilities too.

Yes I could just do some string crunching, but that's no fun!

Example page:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate("http://store.steampowered.com/app/22650/?l=english")

Just to be clear what I want:

Code for that list:

expandcollapse popup

<div class="details_block">
<div class="game_area_details_specs">
<div class="icon">
<img align="top" src="http://cdn.store.steampowered.com/public/images/ico/ico_singlePlayer.gif">
</div>
<div class="name">Single-player</div>
</div>
<div class="game_area_details_specs">
<div class="icon">
<img align="top" src="http://cdn.store.steampowered.com/public/images/ico/ico_coop.gif">
</div>
<div class="name">Co-op</div>
</div>
<div class="game_area_details_specs">
<div class="icon">
<img align="top" src="http://cdn.store.steampowered.com/public/images/ico/ico_achievements.gif">
</div>
<div class="name">Steam Achievements</div>
</div>
<div class="game_area_details_specs">
<div class="icon">
<img align="top" src="http://cdn.store.steampowered.com/public/images/ico/ico_leaderboards.gif">
</div>
<div class="name">Steam Leaderboards</div>
</div>
<div class="game_area_details_specs">
<div class="icon">
<img align="top" src="http://cdn.store.steampowered.com/public/images/ico/ico_stats.gif">
</div>
<div class="name">Stats</div>
</div>
<div class="game_area_details_specs">
<div class="icon">
<img align="top" src="http://cdn.store.steampowered.com/public/images/ico/ico_controller.gif">
</div>
<div class="name">Controller enabled</div>
</div>
</div>

If I could just somehow get an array containing the names from the details_block...

I don't know where to go from here

I got this:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate([url="http://store.steampowered.com/app/22650/?l=english"]http://store.steampowered.com/app/22650/?l=english[/url])
$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "div")
For $oInput In $oInputs
If String($oInput.classname) = "details_block" Then
  $button = $oInput
ExitLoop
Else
  ConsoleWrite("** Not this one: " & _IEPropertyGet($oInput, "innertext") & @LF)
EndIf
Next
If IsObj($button) Then
    MsgBox(0, "We found them: ",_IEPropertyGet($button, "innertext") & @LF)
Else
    ConsoleWrite("We never found them" & @LF)
EndIf
Exit

The only problem is that there are more than one div with classname "details_block" so it gives resault of the other one above....Make a loop to find the others.

Changing classname to this "game_area_details_specs" finds them but you should loop through it till it find them all because it find the only one.

Hope that helps.

Yes that helped alot, thank you!! After playing with it a bit I ended with this:

#include <IE.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

$asList = _GetGameDetails()
If $asList[0] <> "" Then
    _ArrayDisplay($asList)
EndIf

Func _GetGameDetails()
    Local $asDetails[1]

    $oIE = _IECreate("http://store.steampowered.com/app/22650/?l=english", 0, 0)

    $oDivs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "div")
    For $oDiv In $oDivs
        If String($oDiv.classname) = "game_area_details_specs" Then
            If IsObj($oDiv) Then
                $asDetails[UBound($asDetails) -1] = _IEPropertyGet($oDiv, "innertext")
                ReDim $asDetails[UBound($asDetails) +1]
            EndIf
        EndIf
    Next
    ReDim $asDetails[UBound($asDetails) -1]

    _IEQuit($oIE)
    Return $asDetails
EndFunc

Works great with Alien Breed, now on to integrate it in my script...

It's so the script can display a list of the available "tags" and then if the user selects any of them only games with that "tag" is displayed.

Maybe you will see when it's finished.

I haven't really played that game either
