Hello, it seems that i can't get SteamInfo from another player's account with GetAccountInfoRequest. Is there any other way to do that? Thanks.

Okay, we finally had a chance to review, and we've updated to provide the Steam ID (if one exists) in the account info returned.
Hi Brendan, I'm running into the exact same issue as the OP.
I'm calling PlayFabClientAPI.GetAccountInfo and it returns the populated SteamInfo if called on the currently logged in player, but SteamInfo is null if it is called on another player.
Ah, sorry - should have clarified that in response to the original post. Account specifics are only returned on the Client API query if you are the player in question (to prevent potential violation of those services' policies). The Server API query gets all that data, so you can retrieve this via Cloud Script (and decide there which pieces may be returned to the player).
So is this still an issue. Do we have to go through the server API to get hold of this data?
Correct - the current behavior is that the Steam ID is not returned for other players. I've opened a work item with the engineering team to review the player data and revise what we return based upon whether the data is considered PII. We'll update here when this is complete.
