This is an unofficial in-progress/unstable/pre-1.0 library/CLI tool for interacting with your Stadia account. ⚠️ This tool is incomplete. Features may not be implemented or may not function as described. Come back later. ⚠️

You’ll need to install Deno, a secure runtime for TypeScript and JavaScript. On Linux, you may do so by running:

$ curl -fsSL https://deno.land/x/install/install.sh | sh

You may run the latest release of this tool directly from Deno’s module hosting:

$ deno run --allow-all "https://deno.land/x/stadia/mod.ts"

You may install this tool as a local stadia command:

$ sudo deno install --reload --allow-all --force --root "/usr/local" "https://deno.land/x/stadia/mod.ts"

$ stadia
Unofficial Stadia CLI (https://deno.land/x/stadia)

USAGE:

    stadia [<authentication>] <command> [<arguments>...]

AUTHENTICATION:

    You must authenticate with Google Stadia in one of the following ways:

    (1) If using Google Chrome on Windows 10 and running this command within
        Windows Subsystem for Linux, it will detect any Chrome Profiles that are
        synced with a Google account and load their authentication cookies
        automatically. If there are multiple synced profiles, you will be
        prompted to pick one, or you may specify it with the
        --google-email=<email> parameter.

    (2) The --google-cookie=<cookies> parameter may be set to a header-style
        semicolon-delimited Cookie string that will be used to authenticate with
        Google. This should contain the Google authentication cookies "SID",
        "SSID", and "HSID".

    (3) --offline will disable all authentication and network
        operations. Operations that require data that isn't already saved
        locally will fail.

LOCAL STATE:

    Local state is persisted in a SQLite database named "./deno-stadia.sqlite"
    in the current working directory. This may contain the Google ID and
    Google Email of the current user, but it will never include authentication
    credentials, so you can share it without compromising your Google account.
