Steam Cache Ingestion
Help improve Deadlock API by sharing your match data
Automatic Ingestion (Recommended)
Install the background service and it will automatically submit your match data whenever you play
Run in PowerShell as Administrator (right-click PowerShell, then Run as administrator):
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deadlock-api/deadlock-api-ingest/master/install-windows.ps1 | iexAuto-start needs Administrator rights: the installer registers a scheduled task that starts the service when you sign in, and it turns auto-start on if you don't answer within 10 seconds. In a normal PowerShell window, press N when it asks about auto-start and let it create desktop shortcuts to start the service yourself. Otherwise it stops with "Administrator privileges are required".
- Privacy-focused: only match IDs are submitted
- Lightweight background service
- No root needed on Linux
