Steam group member list returns more used then what are in the group

[Killa4]

Simple checked my group of 13k members and it returned 100+ more members then who are in the group. Simply console.log(members.length)

My steam group is https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Rusticated if you want to try it yourself. Not sure what the cause is.

Thanks for logging this issue, I’ll take a look into it tomorrow! We get the data from the steam group’s XML so perhaps give that a check and make sure it’s not been cached etc

I looked deeper into it, it seems that the XML returns 2 different "Member Counts" one is the display number steam shows and another is the actually members in the group I guess? It seems that for smaller groups the Member Count is the same for both but for bigger groups it isnt the exact same. Don't really understand why.

@Killa4 thanks for looking into this, unfortunately that’s not something I can fix here. It might be worth contacting Stream and seeing if they can give you an answer

The higher count includes community limited (/banned/deleted?) accounts as far as I can tell

I could look at providing both values in the response so you’re able to use whichever value you want from the API response
