Are you trying to get this data for your own account, or for other users?

Hi! I’m building an automated Steam account manager and need to reliably fetch all possible account status flags for a given account, including: VAC bans (vacBanned) Trade bans and restrictions (tradeBanState, “red warning” banners) Market restrictions (e.g. “not allowed to use the Community Market”, cooldowns, etc.) Limited account status (isLimitedAccount) Any “red warning”/security flags shown on the profile (e.g. “This account has been restricted”, “Community banned”, etc.) I’m currently using node-steamcommunity and my code looks like this const SteamCommunity = require('steamcommunity'); const community = new SteamCommunity(); community.setCookies(cookies); // cookies from steam-session (WebBrowser) community.getSteamUser(steamId, (err, user) => { if (err) { // Often get: 'The specified profile could not be found.' // Sometimes get HTTP 302 redirect to /id/<customURL> // Sometimes get empty user object console.warn('getSteamUser error', err); return; } // Trying to read: // user.vacBanned, user.tradeBanState, user.isLimitedAccount // But sometimes these fields are missing or user is undefined console.log('User status:', { vacBanned: user.vacBanned, tradeBanState: user.tradeBanState, isLimitedAccount: user.isLimitedAccount, // ...other fields? }); }); Questions: What is the most reliable way to get all these status flags for any account (including limited, banned, restricted, etc.)? Is there a better method or recommended workflow to avoid “profile not found” errors and reliably get all status fields? How do I detect “red warning” banners (community ban, trade ban, market ban) if getSteamUser fails or returns incomplete data? Any best practices for cookies/session setup to maximize success rate? Thanks for any advice or code examples! 💙

No, you'd need to use that API yourself. IEconItems_440 is a TF2-specific API and steam-tradeoffer-manager is general for all Steam assets.

I'm trying to get the defindex and original id of tf2 items in a trade; is there anywhere where I can plug in the use of IEconItems_440 over the use of CEconItems?

thanks sir But I have a problem with my bot. Whenever the bot logs out for any reason, it doesn't log back in because when I send a trade request or check my inventory etc., steamID is empty. any idea on this ?

Sounds like it.

Read the docs please. You should not call logOn() inside of the disconnected event as steam-user will handle reconnecting automatically. Checking the steamID property is how you can tell whether you're currently logged in or not.

There are no alternative ways, or at least find out the number of days left? Send offer, extract data, then cancel offer.

Hi, I'm getting Malformed login response error when calling getWebCookies() and using refreshToken for signing in. I also checked the case when I login using the credentials, 'authenticated' event is fired, but a bit later Malformed login response error is thrown. This all happens when using http proxy(for some of the proxies), is this the issue on proxies side?

what is the best way to check if my client is still logged in ? and if the client logged out how to relogin again ? btw i have sth like this but it does not work: // this should relogin again but wont work client.on("disconnected", (eresult, msg) => { console.log(`Disconnected from Steam: ${msg} (${eresult})`); setTimeout(() => { if (client.steamID === null) { try { client.logOn(logOnOptions); } catch (error) { console.error(error); } } }, 5000); }); // the way i check if client is logged in or not function isLoggedIn() { return client.steamID; }

I believe you wouldn't receive that message if there are no other playing sessions.

https://github.com/DoctorMcKay/node-steam-user This lib said that after login steam,it will revice an EMsg_ClientPlayingSessionState message. But I use NetHook2 and NetHookAnalyzer2.I did not get this message. I use github.com/csfloat/go-steam lib too.I did not get this message.

understood, thanks.

Yes, getExchangeDetails makes a Steam API call (specifically, GetTradeStatus). Generally speaking, anything that has a callback makes a network request. No, there's no built-in mechanism for handling rate limiting. You'll need to do it yourself.

Thank you so much!😭

Hi, I am calling 'getExchangeDetails' on 'receivedOfferChanged' event to log received trade data. This works well in most cases, but if account is receiveing large amount of trades concurrently I start missing data from some trades. I have few questions here: 1. Is my assumption that this is indeed caused my amount of trades received in short period of time correct? I mean does 'getExchangeDetails' interacts with steam and gets ratelimited? 2. If 1. is true, is there build-in mechanism to handle this in trade offer manager, or should I queue received offers and make a sheduler to call 'getExchangeDetails'? Thanks in advance. G

Hi If you are using globaloffensive library when you call the _send method, just add the callback (last parameter) and it will add source id automatically _send( CS2Emsgs.k_EMsgGCStorePurchaseFinalize, Protos.CMsgGCStorePurchaseFinalize, { txn_id, }, (appId, msgType) => { if(Language.StorePurchaseFinalizeResponse != msgType) { return; } this.emit("itemsPurchased"); } // fix the issue with source id );

If I have login on Compute A. Then I login again on Compute B.Maybe It will tell me error of LoggedInElsewhere. Can I kick off Compute A login session?

Hi guys, how can i avoid this? Its literally like this image for my 100 account, then i'm not using community and manager lib until now it already fine but i cannot accept gift. Thank you and have a nice day

Yes, this is the only way to obtain web cookies if you have a refresh token for EAuthTokenPlatformType.SteamClient. Other platform types can get cookies via steam-session.

Fixed issue where corrupt Steam data may crash app Full Changelog: v2.12.1...v2.12.2 View on GitHub

hi~ did you solve it? I have the same problem, and how to get the source id? 🤔

proxy_url = http://test:[email protected]:6049 const httpAgent = new HttpProxyAgent(proxy_url); const httpsAgent = new HttpsProxyAgent(proxy_url); const requestInstance = require('request').defaults({ proxy: proxy_url agent:{ http: httpAgent, https: httpsAgent }, timeout:30000 }); let community = new SteamCommunity({ request: requestInstance, httpAgent: httpAgent, httpsAgent: httpsAgent, localAddress: null }); let manager = new TradeOfferManager({ steam: client, community: community, language: 'en', pollInterval: 10000, cancelTime: 300000, pendingCancelTime: 300000, globalAssets: false, savePollData: false, requestOptions: { proxy: proxy_url, agent: { http: httpAgent, https: httpsAgent }, localAddress: null } }); manager.on('newOffer', (offer) => { if (offer.itemsToGive.length === 0 && offer.itemsToReceive.length > 0) { if (offer.state === TradeOfferManager.ETradeOfferState.Active) { offer.accept((err, status) => { if (err) { acceptErrorCount++; } else { acceptSuccessCount++; } }); } else { console.log('skip.'); } } else { console.log('deny.'); offer.decline(); } }); hi, i have proxy and it working well until proxy timeout (die), this connection redirect to my main ip, did i set up wrong or something? thank you and have a nice day

Thank you so much! You are best of the best 😄

Fixed by updating 🤭 by the way, is it the only way to obtain the web cookies ? I used to do it with steam-session but refresh tokens are no longer supported.
