SteamAuth var from startup.auth to the view ASP.NET - asp.net-mvc

Question

I want to get the profile information from steam. so first I've fixed that I can login through steam, I used this tutorial: http://www.oauthforaspnet.com/providers/steam/
But now I want to get the steam profile id from the user that logged in so I can use the JSON from the steam API to get the information from the user.
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/(this id)
I hope someone can help me, I've searched for hours now, and don't have any result.
var options = new SteamAuthenticationOptions {
ApplicationKey = "Your API Key",
Provider = new OpenIDAuthenticationProvider // Steam is based on OpenID
{
OnAuthenticated = async context =>
{
// Retrieve the user's identity with info like username and steam id in Claims property
var identity = context.Identity;
}
}}; app.UseSteamAuthentication(options);

Answer 1

A while ago we discovered the answer:
1.) insert your key from the tutorial here:
var options = new SteamAuthenticationOptions
{
ApplicationKey = "Your API Key",
Provider = new OpenIDAuthenticationProvider // Steam is based on OpenID
{
OnAuthenticated = async context =>
{
// Retrieve the user's identity with info like username and steam id in Claims property
var identity = context.Identity;
}
}
};
app.UseSteamAuthentication(options);
2.) We discovered that steam is saving a users steam id in the database table called: 'AspNetUserLogins', the providerkey inside that table is an url made out of more pieces. For example:
http://steamcommunity.com/openid/id/here-users-steamid
We only need the users steamid, so we going to split that in step 3.
3.) Make a controller, for example: SteamController. Here we going to add a public string:
public string GetSteamID()
{
var manager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(new Steam.Models.ApplicationDbContext()));
var CurrentUser = manager.FindById(User.Identity.GetUserId());
if (User.Identity.Name != "")
{
string url = CurrentUser.Logins.First().ProviderKey;
ViewBag.steamid = url.Split('/')[5]; //here we going to split the providerkey so we get the right part
}
else
{
ViewBag.steamid = "";
}
return ViewBag.steamid;
}
) now we can add some stuff, lets say we going to add profile information. Go to your SteamController and add:
[HttpGet]
public ContentResult GetProfile()
{
string url = string.Format("http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUser/GetPlayerSummaries/v0002/?key=addyourkeyhere&steamids={0}", this.GetSteamID());
string result = null;
using (var client = new WebClient())
{
result = client.DownloadString(url);
}
return Content(result, "application/json");
}
notice that you have to add your steam key from step 1 in the url.
) make a script called: profile.js. Here we going to add our profile information.
function profilepic() {
$.ajax({
url: 'http://localhost:3365/steam/GetProfile',
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {
$.each(data.response.players, function (key, value) {
if ($('.profile')) {
$('.profile').append("<img src='" + value.avatar + "'> <span>" + value.personaname + "</span>")
}
if ($('.profile1')) {
$('.profile1').append("<img src='" + value.avatarfull + "'>")
}
if ($('.username')) {
$('.username').append(value.personaname)
}
console.log(value)
});
}, error: function (httpReq, status, exception) {
console.log(status + " " + exception);
}
});
}
6.) Now we have to do the final step, create a view with the classes, for example:
<div class="userprofile">
<span class="profile1"></span>
<div class="userdescription">
<h2 class="username"></h2>
</div>
</div>
