The 32-bit version of Steam works, so they’ve not bothered to compile 64-bit binaries for 64-bit versions of Windows and Linux. There’s already a mechanism in the Steam client updater for delivering different binaries depending on version of the OS and 32/64 bit, take a look at the client manifest and note the variations of “bins_cef_win32” for “win10-64”, “win7”, etc. So, it wouldn’t be a lot of work to distribute 64-bit versions of the other Steam client binaries because they could use the same mechanism to deliver them.

Quick bit of google-fu led me to this https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamTracking/blob/master/Random/NetworkDatagramConfig.json

The new cluster has been up for a couple of months already, but seeing as it only just now got its string it's worth mentioning anyway: the EU West server cluster (as it's known in Dota 2 and CS:GO) has been relocated from Luxembourg to Frankfurt, Germany

It really does suck that they've not put out an Apple Silicon / arm64 update, I'm sure that just switching the Intel version of Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) in the Steam Helper for an arm64 would help a lot. They put out multiple versions of the web helper and CEF binaries for Windows so that they can support 32-bit Windows 7 as well as newer 64-bit versions of Windows, but according to the Steam Hardware Survey, only 0.12% of Steam users use 32-bit Windows 7, while 0.89% of Steam users are using Apple Silicon CPUs (40.7% of Macs on Steam are using Apple Silicon CPUs, 2.2% of Steam users are on macOS, 2.2 * 40.7/100 = 0.89)

Steam itself draws everything in its own windows, including the 'traffic light' buttons which are weirdly spaced in the OP's picture. They're actually TGA images distributed with Steam, not part of the OS.

Real answer: the SteamTracking repo (not to be confused with GameTracking, which facilitates and provides rapid teardowns) has a list of URLs it keeps eyes on, one of those being Valve's people page. Its frequency used to provide updates as quick as 15 minutes, but these days it's been relaxed to around once an hour, a short time after the top of the hour.

OS type have next values:

I've managed to find older versions, but not that Bluetooth BLE firmware version. It seems to have never been included in the firmware.vdf https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamTracking/blob/master/Random/ControllerFirmware.vdf

xPaw (guy from twitter and SteamDB owner) is a data miner, so he tracks every Steam's API update, he even makes it public, so anyone could also compile and do the same thing from his screenshot.

Depends on what u trying to do w ur bot... If u want an interactive website i would advise u to start looking into Node JS and web frameworks for websites such as Express JS, if u just want to make a standalone tradebot that responds to messages but doesnt connect to any databases maybe only fetching prices from a third party api then it really doesnt matter what language u using but Node JS is the most supported one for trade bots i saw some C# ones but they might be outdated... a place to start: https://github.com/andrewda/node-steam-guide
