Solution

  • Under linux and with Lua 5.1 you can visit a webserver that is doing the job.

    local STEAM_ID = 'STEAM_0:0:201963436'
    local STEAM_ID64 = io.popen('wget -q --no-check-certificate -O- https://steamid.io/lookup/' .. STEAM_ID .. ' | grep -o -E "[0-9]{16,32}" | head -n1', 'r'):read('*a')
    
    print(STEAM_ID64)
    -- Output: 76561198364192600
