Send Steam purchase history to Splunk

Requirements

• A Splunk server with HTTP Event Collector
  • Easily create an ephemeral one in Docker:

    docker run --rm -it -p 8000:8000 -p 8088:8088 -e SPLUNK_START_ARGS=--accept-license -e SPLUNK_PASSWORD=password --name splunk splunk/splunk

• Python 3 and Poetry
• Python dependencies (poetry install --no-dev)

Download your Steam purchase history

1. Go to https://store.steampowered.com/account/history and log in.
2. Click "Load More Transactions" at the bottom until your full history is shown.
3. Hit Ctrl+S and save the page as an HTML document.
   • You can delete the directory full of CSS, JavaScript, and image files, you'll only need the HTML doc.

Run the script

SPLUNK_HEC_TOKEN=<token> poetry run python main.py steam_history.html

Where steam_history.html is the file you downloaded from Steam.
