Has anyone already successfully connected to their Websocket?

I also cannot connect into my websocket. Getting error ECONNRESET

You need to set a language in the constructor.

I noticed that when you have language: 'en' in the constructor and have a big inventory the bot will be Killed

Is there a way to retrieve the name of the item in a different way?

I'm not aware of any public API or database of full card sets. Maybe there's one somewhere. You'd need to either find one or scrape the gamecards page.

Nevermind, I got this to work!

Maybe you can use this http://steam.tools/cards/

Thank you so much! It looks like I'm gonna add all of the cards data manually since there isn't any public api that does it for me.

One question tho: Does this site have ALL of the cards that are available?

Hi,

I'm trying to add Full Card Sets in a trade offer. 

Say, the command to request card sets is !set 10, the bot will send 10 Full Card Sets. I'm not sure how to tell the bot how many Cards make a Full Set.

Would I need to use an API or some sort of a database with all the existing sets?

I would appreciate any help, thank you! 

This could be considered as spam, so I wouldn't do it that frequently or at least be more cautious about doing that 

Hi,

I'm trying to get all of the Received offers that are active.

I read here about the function https://github.com/DoctorMcKay/node-steam-tradeoffer-manager/wiki/TradeOfferManager#getoffersfilterhistoricalcutoff-callback but I don't think I'm using the time object right.

Here is my code: https://pastebin.com/SZcx0dwn

What's the right way to do that?

Hi,

 

Is it ok by Steam if I use my bot to scan my accounts inventories every 2-3 minutes?

 

I have a function that scans a certain SteamID's inventory & then I use a randomized interval to run that function.

 

Is it allowed to even do that? And if it is, And how frequently is it safe to scan inventories?   

 

Also, what's the recommended number to use for pollInterval of my 'steam-tradeoffer-manager' node? So that I don't spam Steam servers with too frequent requests

 

My Json file looks like this:

DigitalOcean is fine. I'd recommend them more now that they've dropped their prices than I would in the past. If you're going with a VPS then you need to read up on security so you don't get pwned.

 

You probably want at least 2 GB of RAM. 1 GB might work but keep in mind that it also needs to support the entire OS too.

 

On a reputable host your files are safe. You don't need to encrypt them unless you're really paranoid, and if you do go that route you can't store the key on the server or it'll defeat the purpose.

I'm definitely going to look into VPS protection, thanks!

Speaking of protection, do you know if it's possible for users to Inject malicious code through the steam chat? Or does Steam take of that?

The bot is currently ran &hosted on my PC just until I finish testing it, and I have a few questions before I host it on a sever:

1) Where should I host my bot? What's the best server host in terms of reliability / performance? I heard some people talking about DigitalOcean being a good host, is that so?

2) How much RAM do I need?  Assuming I have 100+ friends using the bot regularly and the bot itself is pretty simple (kinda similar to what Trading Card bots do but with a much smaller item database of accepted items) - How much RAM (or other hardware requirements) would I need?

3) Are my config.json & other files(where I store my sensitive information) safe? Do I need to encrypt the sensitive information on a different file? (A guide will be extremely helpful)

4) Is it crucial that my code isn't the most efficient? Or is it based on how much RAM the server have?

I appreciate any help! Thank you 

Go online, I wanna test it

Don't because:

 

 

1.) It's super annoying.

 

2.) It doesn't give any actual advertisement whatsoever.

 

3.) Bots get community banned for doing this.

 

 

However, if you still choose to do it just read the actual documentation.

> Either a SteamID object or a user's URL (the part after /id/)

aka

typeof id === 'string' ? "id/" + id : "profiles/" + id.toString()

I wasn't aware this was not allowed, because I see many card bots doing that. So thank you for the info & also the code!

Edit: On a second thought, I'll try to code a script to check if I already left a comment on a specific user's profile today, that way it won't be considered as spam

 

1. Sure, just load two inventories and add two items from different games.
2. Change the amount property on the item. For example:

manager.getUserInventoryContents(steamID, 753, 6, true, (err, theirInv) => {
	if (err) {
		throw err;
	}
	
	let gems = inv.filter(item => item.market_hash_name == "Gems");
	let item = gems[0];
	item.amount = 300;
	offer.addMyItem(item);
});

Just realized filter() is a javascript method. I solved it

});

That was extremely helpful! Thanks!

I wasn't aware of the built in inv.filter command, so I made my own. At least now I know of a more efficient way

It's okay, i solved the problem

Do you mind sharing how?

Hi,

I have 2 things I'm not quite sure about:

1) Currently I use getUserInventoryContents(appid,contextid...etc) to load user's inventory as well as mine. Is it possible to select items from 2 different games in the same trade offer? For example: Their items in trade window will have both CSGO + Steam inventory items

2) How do I go about adding a certain amount of Steam Gems from user's / bot's inventory? I read this article: https://dev.doctormckay.com/topic/332-identifying-steam-items/ and know what asseid,contextid stands for, but I just can't figure out how to find a specific item in an inventory and  select Steam gems for example

Any help is appreciated!

So far I got this code inside of my client.on('webSession', (sessionid, cookies):

manager.on('sentOfferChanged', function(offer, oldState) {
	const partnerID = offer.partner.getSteamID64();

	console.log(`Offer #${offer.id} changed: ${TradeOfferManager.ETradeOfferState[oldState]} -> ${TradeOfferManager.ETradeOfferState[offer.state]}`);
	
	if(TradeOfferManager.ETradeOfferState[offer.state] == "Accepted"){ 
		
	  client.chatMessage(partnerID, "Thank you for trading with me!");
	  community.getSteamUser(partnerID, function(err, user){
		  if(err){
			  console.log(err);
		  } else{
		  user.comment("Thanks for trading with me", function(err){
			  if(err){
				  console.log(err);
			  }
		  });
		  }
	  });

Error I get:

The specified profile could not be found, even though I get the Steam ID by using offer.partner.getSteamID64()

what?

Hi,

I want my bot to comment on the user's profile upon a successful trade.

I tried looking for it here:

https://github.com/DoctorMcKay/node-steam-user#events-

But I dont find it anywhere!

Thanks!
