Steam API Web key

Follow instructions to get API Key

Set up your environment variable

To create an environment variable in Python, you can utilize the os module. Use os.environ to access and modify environment variables. To accommodate different operating systems, check the documentation or resources specific to each OS for instructions on setting environment variables. For example, on Windows, you can use the Command Prompt or PowerShell, while on Unix-based systems like Linux or macOS, you can modify configuration files or use terminal commands like export.
