Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using ManiLuaHub (maniluahub.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to any part of these terms, please do not use our website or public APIs.

Description of Service

ManiLuaHub provides an open-access Steam manifest and Lua blueprint index for modders, game archivists, and developers. We offer publicly accessible App ID lookups, depot partition syntax parsing, live Lua code inspection, and keyless OpenAPI developer endpoints.

Free & Community-Driven Access

  1. Free of Charge — All manifest searches, code inspections, key.vdf descriptors, and RESTful API endpoints on ManiLuaHub are completely free of charge.
  2. Zero Paid Subscriptions — We do not sell subscriptions, user licenses, or credit packs for manifest access.
  3. Fair Use Policy — To guarantee low latency for all users worldwide, automated tooling and API consumers must implement polite request rates. Excessive crawling or denial-of-service (DDoS) attempts are strictly prohibited.

Acceptable Use

You agree that you will not:

  • Violate any applicable national or international laws and regulations.
  • Attempt to breach, disrupt, or impair our infrastructure or edge routing.
  • Distribute malware, corrupted binaries, or unauthorized third-party modified executables through our service.
  • Misrepresent ManiLuaHub metadata as official Valve cryptographic credentials.

Intellectual Property & Trademark Disclaimer

  • Steam & Valve Trademarks — Steam, the Steam logo, and all related game titles and media are registered trademarks and copyrights of Valve Corporation or their respective owners. ManiLuaHub is an independent community project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Valve Corporation.
  • Open-Source Data — Manifest indices and blueprints are compiled from public community repositories (such as ManifestHub) and open standards.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ManiLuaHub is provided on an "AS-IS" and "AS-AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind. ManiLuaHub and its contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use this platform.
