How to Set the Steam Web API Key on Your FiveM Server

With a Steam Web API key, your FiveM server can read the Steam identifier of your players (for example steam:110000100000000). Many scripts rely on this identifier, for instance for whitelists, bans or player management.

The key is optional. Without it, your server runs just fine, your players simply will not receive a Steam identifier.
