FAQ

Can I fetch private friend lists?

No — Steam only exposes friend lists for public profiles. Private profiles return an empty list.

Are friendship-since timestamps included?

Yes — for every friend row, you get the SteamID and the friendship-since Unix timestamp.

How does it differ from the Profile API?

Profile API returns the user themselves. Friendlist API returns their social graph.
