Automated Mission Key Collection

Forgot to collect Mission Keys, again?

Read below and learn how to automate the daily collection using free tools. You will also need to use a desktop computer.

So what’s this about?

Mission Key Hunter

Every day Scopely allow you to collect free “Mission Keys” in the webstore. These are exchanged into Officer Shards in STFC. In addition, there is a monthly Mission Key Hunter “Arc Event” that gives you more rewards for, you guessed it, collecting those mission keys.

The problem is remembering to collect the keys. Snooze once there is still a weekly collection in-game. Snooze twice you miss out on rewards.
If your alliance mates snooze, everybody loses out.

So let’s address this in 9 simple steps:

Step 1

Sign up for Postman

Go to https://web.postman.co and sign in or create a free account.

Step 2

Import my Collection

In Postman, hit the Import button and paste this link:

https://download.fasttrek.space/STFC-Store.postman_collection.json

You should now see the “STFC Store” Collection, including Mission Recruit, 10 min chest and 4 hr chest (which can also be automated).

Step 3

Login to the Store

We need a store authentication token so that Scopely know it’s you when you run this stuff.

To grab yours, open https://home.startrekfleetcommand.com/store in Chrome or Edge, ideally on a Desktop computer.
Locate any chest that is ready to be claimed (e.g. the 10 min one).

Step 4

Open DevTools

These are built into all Chromium based browsers, which includes Chrome, Edge, and Chromium itself. Firefox also has them and they will work in the same way.

So hit F12 on the keyboard and a tab or window should appear.
The tool we’re after is “Network”. In Microsoft Edge (shown here) it’s the tab with the WiFi icon.

Step 5

Claim the bundle

Click the ‘claim’ button and the network tab will populate with a bunch of stuff that the browser loads to make it happen.

Type “claim” into the filter box at the top to make it easier to find the information we need. This screenshot is from Chrome.

Step 6

Grab the token

Click on the ‘claim’ entry in the list that has the {i} symbol in front of it, then select “Headers”.

Scroll down to find “Authorization” within the “Request Headers” section. Copy this whole thing, minus the “Bearer” prefix, as highlighted in the screenshot.

Step 7

Paste into Postman

Back in Postman, open (click) the STFC Store collection and then the Authorization tab as shown.

Paste the key you just copied into the Token field.

Step 8

Schedule daily

Click “Run” (the one with the YouTube-like icon)
Select only the Mission Keys request
Select “Schedule Runs”
Enter any name
Pick a suitable time (i.e. when bundle will be next available)
Be sure to enter something into Email Notifications (not shown in the video). This will notify you when collection fails.
Click Schedule Run right at the bottom (not shown in the video) and celebrate your achievement with a beer (shown below).

Step 9

Renewing the token

The store authorization token is valid for about 14 days. If you’ve followed all the above, Postman should send you an email when the daily collection fails.

This may happen if:
– you login to the STFC web store
– the token simply expires

You’ll then simply need to repeat steps 3-7.

I hope this was simple enough, but if you have problems, comment below or send an email.
