    This would be incredible! Gaming is one of my primary leisure activities, and it pretty much all happens through Steam. Tracking games played and minutes played per game would be useful to correlate with other statistics.

    I believe I could gain a lot of useful insides due to this integration.

    Tracking time spent in games would be sweet if that data is accessible!

    As a start just getting the attributes in the API would be useful. I’m already logging my time across Steam, Xbox, Switch in a custom app I built so could easily extend that to Exist if the attributes for gaming existed.

    And maybe some other game launchers too? I’m already annoyed that I can’t see all my gaming stuff in one place because the games I play are divided between Steam, Origin, Blizzard and Ubisoft.

    If you use RescueTime you can track your time spent across all apps and games, which might be good enough for now? As far as I’m aware none of the other make stats available in a way we can access.

    Somewhat unrelated - but you could try the GoG Galaxy client for that.

    This would be very nice to have; right now I’ve created custom tags for genres of games so I make note of when I play them, but automatically tracking games would be awesome!

    Would this be possible now using foreground?

    Yes, it’s not really necessary as time gaming can be synced from Foreground.

    I haven’t tested this myself, but https://github.com/michaelsergio/steam-exporter/issues seems to grab and export your steam data using the api. You might be able to copy what they do to grab the data

    Looks like this reports total play time, not play time per time period. You could run it periodically and look at deltas, but that will not give you historical data (Steam probably doesn’t track discrete playtime periods like that).

    This would be useful for people who want to just keep tracking of their total playtime, though! Thanks for sharing.
