Steam Discovery Queue Auto-Skipper

Supported Events / Features

Currently confirmed working:

• Steam Winter Sale 2023 (December 21 - January 04): auto-skipping discovery queue for a free trading card + auto-claiming free daily stickers ✅

Description

This userscript automates several Steam event-related things.

Primarily (and hence, the name) it auto-advances when it detects that you are viewing a Steam Discovery Queue item.
During the Steam Winter Sale 2023 you get one trading card for going through your queue once a day.
This script makes it easier to stay lazy.

If your browser/setup supports it, it does this is a speedy way. Multiple discovery queues are processed to get the maximum number of cards per day, if supported.

If something goes wrong, it auto-retries and/or tries simulating a normal press on the "Next in Queue"-button.
This should make sure that minor issues are automatically resolved before the script can be manually fixed/adjusted for new events or site updates.

Additional Functionality

• Age-restricted apps are automatically unlocked (i.e. this script supports automating 18+ confirmations). This feature works outside of the discovery queues, too!
• Finally, free daily stickers are also auto-claimed when they are detected.

Sale

The script is optimized for the Steam Winter Sale 2023. Support for some of the functionality, including automation of multiple queues (only one this year), along with other features, might not work with future sales. The script will be updated in such a case.
