I created a 'regular API key' which required my website address. Now I enter the URL you supplied inputting my key in the key value but I get an Internal Server Error in return.

https://api.steampowered.com/IPlayerService/IsPlayingSharedGame/v1?key=<snip>&steamid=76561197960265728&appid _playing=10

Have you any idea why, am I doing something wrong?

Edit: I googled IPlayerService and found a Steam Wiki for this API (which has far more information than the 'documentation' and it turns out that one needs to put &format?=xml/json on the end.
Is it possible that the player was just not playing the game when you tried?

format is optional on all api calls. (I forget which format is the default, but xml, json, and vdf (keyvalues) all work).
