This may be more difficult to do; it's unclear whether or not this is
exposed in the web API that Valve provides.

Unlike the other methods described in:

    https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_Web_API

which are all query-based, you're asking for something that _mutates_
a user.  This functionality would probably not be exposed as a RESTful
web-based API: imagine the kind of havok that a malicious user could
do if they could add arbitrary friends on any other person.  So I
would expect it to require some sort of user authentication, at the
very least.  Searching... I see no such documentation from web
searches on this.  You'll probably need to ask the Steam folks on this
one.
