item id change after the trade

[Mr Game and Watch]

Hello!

 

I noticed that when I get an item from other people.. it's id change.

 

Then, I have a question: If I have to return it... how can I make sure it's the same item? For example: I can have 2 TF2 items with the same quality, the same unusual effect and the same level. Is there a way to check it? Another "secret id" to check?

 

Sorry if that was asked, but I didnt found it

 

Thanks and have a nice day

 

Edit: I found the main thread, "Identifying Steam Items", but I still don't get it, sorry

The GetTradeStatus API method will give you the new IDs after the items got traded.

[Mr Game and Watch]

OK. I'll check it out.

 

Thanks you so much and merry christmas Dr. McKay

Well... I'm stucked trying to get that work

 

I make the trade. I confirm it and then I send a request like this:

http://api.steampowered.com/IEconService/GetTradeStatus/v1/?key=*API key goes here*&format=json&tradeid=0123456789&get_descriptions=1&language=en

the trade ID I send is the one I get for the confirmation. The API key is the one I have.

 

OK. I check it before and after the trade is made... but I always get an empty JSON.

 

What I'm doing wrong?

[Dr. McKay]

The trade ID is the tradeid property on the trade offer (from GetTradeOffers or GetTradeOffer) after it's accepted. It's not an offer ID.

[Mr Game and Watch]

Sorry to ask again about this, but I can't find that methods. In which modules are they?

 

I can only find "GetOffer" or "GetOffers" on your "node-steam-tradeoffer-manager" module. (I tried that IDs, dind't work).

 

Also, thanks for your time and happy holidays!

 

Edit: I think I found that "tradeID", but I get always null:

 

 

isOurOffer: false,
  created: 2017-12-24T13:58:46.000Z,
  updated: 2017-12-24T13:58:51.000Z,
  expires: 2018-01-07T13:58:46.000Z,
  tradeID: null,
  fromRealTimeTrade: false,
  confirmationMethod: 0,
  escrowEnds: null,

 

Is this the tradeID you mean?

[Dr. McKay]

GetTradeOffer and GetTradeOffers are the names of the API methods. getOffer and getOffers are the steam-tradeoffer-manager equivalents.

 

tradeID only exists when the offer has been accepted. If you're using steam-tradeoffer-manager you don't need to call the API yourself; you can use getExchangeDetails.

[Mr Game and Watch]

Thanks. Now it works (Or looks like for me).

 

Again, thanks you and happy holidays. You deserve the best!!!
