How do I find the appid for a non-steam game on Steam
I’m trying to figure out what to name my custom artwork for non-steam games to get steam to recognize them.
- I know they go in this folder: steam/userdata/ <userid> /config/grid
- I know there are three: <id> _logo.png, <id> _hero.jpg, <id> p.jpg,
I know I can look in localconfig.vdf to find the <userid> value, but I don’t know how to find the <id> value.
By adding custom art through the steam client, I see the correct value is 2853772086 . However, I want to do this programmatically. How do I compute this value?
That doesn’t match the index 14 nor the appid -1441195210 (signed or unsigned) in the shortcuts.vdf:
The game’s appid on steam 736260 so (unsurprisingly) it’s not related to that either.

Steam uses two different ids used to load art for non-steam shortcuts.
You can ignore the Big Picture specific logic and set the icon as your desired Big Picture art but that icon will also be used in Steam desktop client.
Steam Desktop
steamgrid figured out how to get a normal shortcut id. They describe the solution as " crc32(exe + appname) + "02000000" , using IEEE standard polynomials" and using exe and appname from shortcuts.vdf.
For some reason, steamgrid refers it as the LegacyID, but this is the format for art for steam’s redesigned client. This id seems to be unrelated to the desktop shortcut id (which is also used in screenshots.vdf) and unrelated to images in Big Picture mode (which uses the icon field in shortcuts.vdf).
Big Picture
scottrice/Ice steamgrid figured out how to get a Big Picture shortcut id. They explain:
Calculates the filename for a given shortcut. This filename is a 64bit integer, where the first 32bits are a CRC32 based off of the name and target (with the added condition that the first bit is always high), and the last 32bits are 0x02000000.
The implementation looks roughly like this (requires pycrc):
See the original for more details/comments.
You can see that this is very similar to the normal shortcut id except it has some extra lower bits.

Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, Mac OSX, & BSD. This subreddit is for the discussion of using WINE to play video games.
Getting the AppID for a game when you need to do something to the compatdata folder like install Microsoft Media Foundation can be a pain. The Steam apps and games on Proton each have their own "compatdata" folder which contains the WINEPREFIX for the game. It's those .pfx files that the install scripts target. Those folders are not, however named with the name of the game. They're named with the appID which makes finding the right one challenging if you don't already have it.
In my quarantine boredom I whipped up this little bash one-liner that will spit out a nice formatted table with all of your installed steam programs and their app IDs.
grep -e name $(find $HOME -not \( -path
It's just one, really long line of bash. Just cut and paste into a terminal. As you can see it's just a mish-mash of grep, sed and awk. It should work on most Linux systems. It does not assume a location for your "steamapps" folder and uses "find" to locate it. It only assumes that it's visible. if you cut the "-not \( -path . \)" part out, it will search invisible folders too.
I'm sure it's not the finest ninja-est bit of bash, but it works and works well and fast.
How can I get the Steam ID of a game from its name using the Steam API?
I’ve been looking through the Steam API documentation, and there are a number of services that provide information on a game in the Steam web store, however they all seem to require the Steam ID of the game as a parameter. This can be done with user IDs, where the API will provide the User ID if given a username, but I can’t find how to do the same feature with the game library. Is there anyway to provide the name of a game and get its Steam ID?
