If you go to this site, you can see that it says "xxx,xxx In-Game". How can i take this number and put it somewhere on my site, so the number automatically gets updated on my site when it changes?

Solution 1

You likely can't. You would have to contact steam to see if they have an api you can call. The only other option is to download the page via c# (many examples online) and then parse the html to find what you want.

I'd suggest contacting steam first.

5'd. I provided a link to Steam's web API.
