Access Steam Profile / Hours Played

Hi guys!

I know how to get a players steam ID. I wonder if there is a way to find out how many hours of a certain game a player with a certain ID has played.

Like using a ChatCommand such as ("hours") to display something like "Your Rust playtime: 280 hours".

I would really apprechiate if someone had a useful code snippet, preferibly C#.

There are several inetresting thing to do with it, such as:

• Restricting server access to a certain group of players (only users above or below a certain number of hours in Rust can join), e.g. if you want only experienced players with >100 hours of Rust
• Upon connect include it in the join message ("Player XYZ has joined, he is a bloody noob with only Y hours!" or "Welcome Player YXZ! Hours played: Y")
• Show congratulations ("GZ Player XYZ, you have reached 500 hours of Rust!")

I'm not familair with the Steam API, is this possible?

Thanks!

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that plugin does only record the player's playtime for one specific server, doesn't it?

I was looking for a way to get the overall global playtime, like on all servers. The amount of hours displayed in Steam.
