With Steam having frequent sales, I find I often pop into my own, as well as my friends wishlists to plan purchases. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to list a wishlist from the PowerShell console?
I created a small function to do just that. Just remember that it will only be able to get wishlists that are already public, as it’s no authentication going on, just good old web scraping.
It’s not very fancy, and will only output the values it finds. If I find the time (and inspiration) I might be able to convert some of the values into types that are more logical so that it will be easier to sort/filter etc. But hopefully you might find it helpful as is.
