🔍 Search & Explore Steam Profiles

Baseurl: https://www.steamwebapi.com/explore/api/profile?key=YOUR_API_KEY&search=example

💬 **What this endpoint does:**
- Searches for Steam profiles using various criteria such as name, country, inventory worth or VAC status.
- By default, retrieves 20 results per page sorted by inventory worth descending.
- This is the unified Explore endpoint — replaces the old `/random`, `/last`, and `/toplist` routes.

🛠️ **Features:**
- Full-text search across persona name, account name, and display name.
- Filter by country code, minimum worth, VAC status, fame status, or profile type.
- Pagination with `limit` (max 100) and `page` (1–10) parameters.
- Flexible sorting with `order_by`: personaname, timecreated, fame, worth, size, updatedat, inventoryupdatedat, totalplaytime, random (each with ASC/DESC suffix where applicable).

💡 **Common use cases:**
- **Random profiles:** `order_by=random`
- **Latest inventory update:** `order_by=inventoryupdatedatDESC`
- **Latest updated:** `order_by=updatedatDESC`
- **Top by worth:** `order_by=worthDESC` (default)
- **Search by name:** `search=Shroud`

🌐 **How to use:**
- Use the `search` parameter for name lookups (partial match supported).
- Combine `country`, `worth`, `vac`, `fame`, and `type` filters as needed.
- Adjust `limit` (max 100) and `page` (1–10) for paginated results.
- Use `order_by` to control sorting (default: worth DESC).
