I'd be using this in Node and Unity.
It seems that this only works with steamworks.. what about the steam API (different - used BEFORE getting approved to Steam)?

Can you point us to the specific Steam documentation you're referring to? Our Steam integration requires a token from the Steam service, which is based upon the player being signed into the Steam client.
@Brendan https://steamcommunity.com/dev >> They use OpenID to sign in. However, the token you mention is only returned in Steamworks and not the regular Steam API. The Steam API generally only returns public data with the exception of OpenID, which can be used to sign in places through Steam (similar to Facebook's login system)
We specifically use the session ticket you get from a call to GetAuthSessionTicket (https://partner.steamgames.com/documentation/auth#client_to_backend_webapi) for Steam sign-in. The OpenID system is most commonly for web site sign-in, and wouldn't really be valid for the auth model we provide.
