I've already found a simple, no browser extensions reqired solution to solve the captcha, it's been runnning for months with no critical error, but I'm still not planning to update this repo.
No longer maintained, head to wiki for more information.
A CLI tool that
- Fetches free games info from SteamDB
- Sends notifications through Telegram, Email, Bark, QQ, PushPlus, DingTalk, PushDeer and Discord
- Auto claim fetched free games with ASF IPC
Demo Telegram Channel @azhuge233_FreeGames
Seems that SteamDB really don't want people scraping their site, check Things should be aware of before using.
Install dotnet 6.0 SDK first, you can find installation packages/guides here.
dotnet publish -c Release -o /your/path/here -r [win10-x64/osx-x64/linux-x64] --sc
Set your Telegram Bot token and chat ID in config.json
{
"TelegramToken": "xxxxxx:xxxxxx",
"TelegramChatID": "xxxxxxxx",
}Check wiki for more notification method descriptions.
To use auto claim, you have to set up ASF IPC server first, you can find the instructions here.
Set EnableASF to true to turn on auto claim, then fill your IPC address in ASFIPCUrl
{
"EnableASF": true,
"ASFIPCUrl": "https://my.domain.com or with IP address and port number(didn't test)",
}Auto claim uses "addlicense asf SubID/AppID" as the default addlicense command, if you have any customized prefix or ASF just simply returns "wrong command" kind of message, you may need to manually change the command string in Models/String/ASFStrings.cs.
Check wiki for more ASF related config variables descriptions.
The program will not add while/for loop, it's a scraper. To schedule the program, use cron.d in Linux(macOS) or Task Scheduler in Windows.
Tested on Windows Server 2019/2022, macOS Catalina 10.15.6.
