Speedrun URL on Steam Chrome Extension

I made a Chrome extension, Speedrun URL on Steam. If you're a speedrunning enthusiast and browse Steam often, this extension is designed to make it easier for you to access speedrun information.

What does the Speedrun URL on Steam extension do?

This extension automatically adds a link to the Speedrun.com page for the game you’re currently viewing on Steam. With this feature, you can quickly navigate to the speedrun game site

Key Features:

  • Automatic Linking: The extension detects the game you're viewing on Steam and provides a direct link to the game’s Speedrun.com page.

  • Enhanced Accessibility: Quickly access speedrun information without needing to search for it manually.

  • Seamless Experience: Integrates smoothly with Steam’s interface for a hassle-free user experience.

How to Use:

  1. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store.

  2. Open any game page on Steam.

  3. Look for the link to the Speedrun.com page that appears on the page, leading you to more information about the game.

Is this open source? And do you use API v1 or v2?

@YUMmy_Bacon5 why open source? it's approved by Google, no information is stored anywhere.

I'm using V1, I haven't found any V2, I don't know if it exists

Approved by Google means nothing lmao, they don't know SRC's or Steam's internals. And open source helps people contribute to the project and improve it.

API v2 does exist. It's just not officially documented or released by SRC.

It can be seen by opening your network tab in dev tools when preforming actions on the site.

Here's community documentation: https://github.com/ManicJamie/speedruncom-apiv2-docs

And here's a Python wrapper: https://github.com/ManicJamie/speedruncompy
