Get the skin image just by knowing the skin name [node.js/request]

[Andrei Elvis]

Hello,

 

Can someone help me with the url from where I can get the skin image just by knowing the skin name.

So in node.js is like

request("link, link / skin name", function(x,y,z) {
if(y.statusCode == 200) {
    skinImage = blabla;
}
});

Hope someone can help me !

Hi Echo,

I don't think it's possible to extract a image by the market name (without scraping the market), I do know you used to be able to get it using the classid of an item;

I'm not sure if it still is a valid way of doing this but I remember I used to be using,

It is useless with classid... as I have an array with the skin names , but thanks for reply.

I had the script to get the image of a skin name, it was requesting the steam market with the skin name given and it were getting the skin image.

But I do not have the code and I do not have any idea how to make it right now :'(

Well, it'd be intresting to see how that would work but I do know an API that supports images by name; 

 

have a look at this API and then the v1/items, you can loop over the objects check if the market_hash_name's match, if so return the image (icon_url). I don't think they allow infinite requests so you would have to cache/store the json somewhere.
