Hey everyone! I built Steam MiniProfile to make it super easy to display your Steam profile on any website. Whether you're a gamer, streamer, or just want to add a personal touch to your site, this lightweight widget lets you showcase your Steam avatar, username, online status, and recent games—all in real time!
⚠️ Disclaimer

🚀 Try It Out!
I'm excited to share this with the community, and I'd love for you to try it out. You can grab the code from GitHub and integrate it into your website in minutes:

🎮 Introduction
I wanted a simple, customizable, and fast way to embed my Steam profile without dealing with complex APIs or slow-loading widgets. Most existing solutions were either outdated or clunky, so I decided to build my own.
Perfect for gaming communities, streamers, and personal websites, this widget seamlessly integrates your Steam presence, making your site more interactive and engaging.

🔄 How It Works
Steam MiniProfile retrieves your Steam data using a proxy server to bypass CORS restrictions. The diagram below explains how it operates:

User->>+gamer2810.github.io: Get Steam Miniprofile
loop Every 5 minutes
Note right of Pipedream: Glitch shuts down the CORS Server<br>every 5 minutes, so we schedule a request<br> to keep it active, ensuring fast response times.
Pipedream->>CORS Server: Wake up
end
gamer2810.github.io->>-User: Return loading miniprofile
Note right of User: Wait for real profile to load
gamer2810.github.io->>+CORS Server: Get real profile HTML
Note right of CORS Server: https://glitch.com/~steam-miniprofile-cors
CORS Server->>+Steam: Fetch profile HTML
Steam->>-CORS Server: Return profile data
CORS Server->>-gamer2810.github.io: Return profile HTML with CORS headers
