Steamworks key (Financial API)

Dragon Eye reads your games' sales and wishlists through the official Steamworks Financial Web API. It needs the key of a Financial API Group. The key is read-only – it cannot change anything on Steam.

How to get the key

1. Sign in to Steamworks as an administrator of the partner account.
2. Go to Users & Permissions → Manage Groups and create a new group of type Financial API Group.
3. The group page shows the Web API key. Paste it into Dragon Eye when you connect your own game (or in Admin → Game settings → Key and socials).
4. We recommend restricting the key under Manage WebAPI Key → Whitelisted IPs to the Dragon Eye server (46.28.111.224). The key then stops working from any other address.

What the key gives access to and how we protect it

• The key reads sales and wishlists of all games on the partner account. Dragon Eye only stores data for the own games in your workspace – the key belongs to each of them separately and we check that it has access to the game when you connect it.
• The key is encrypted in the database (a separate data key per secret, master key outside the database). It is never sent to the browser or written to logs.
• Disconnecting in Dragon Eye deletes the key. You can revoke it in Steamworks at any time.

What gets downloaded

• Wishlists for every day since the start of the game's history (adds, deletes, purchases, gifts, by country). Valve refreshes the data at least daily; the newest day is yesterday (GMT).
• Sales: units, returns, USD revenue per day (Pacific time). Days that Valve recalculates later are reloaded.

Prefer not to share a key? You can upload wishlists, sales, store traffic and UTM data as Steamworks CSV exports.
