loadInventory proxy

[komarevtsevdn]

On my site i have a many query method loadUserInventory for different steamid. i wanna to make this method within proxy, coz for very frequent queries steam send error 429. How i can use proxy with u module?

As of v1.20.0, you can pass your own SteamCommunity to the constructor of TradeOfferManager. You can pass your own request to the SteamCommunity constructor and you can specify a proxy to request via request.defaults.

But if i wanna change proxy dynamically i need just pass instance request to constructor after each query to Steam?  For example i have 10 proxy, and i wanna after each query to Steam change proxy.

There are HTTP hooks that you can use to override the proxy per-request.

Thanks, i will try

Sorry for grave digging but is this the best approach?

var request = require("request");
var TradeOfferManager = require('steam-tradeoffer-manager');
var steamcommunity = require("steamcommunity");

var proxyUrl = "http://" + user + ":" + password + "@" + host + ":" + port;
var proxifiedRequest = request.defaults({'proxy': proxyUrl});

var community = new steamcommunity({request: proxifiedRequest});
var manager = new TradeOfferManager({community: community});

Yes, that should work.

[jensej]

var request = require("request");
var TradeOfferManager = require('steam-tradeoffer-manager');
var steamcommunity = require("steamcommunity");

var proxyUrl = "http://" + user + ":" + password + "@" + host + ":" + port;
var proxifiedRequest = request.defaults({'proxy': proxyUrl});

var community = new steamcommunity({request: proxifiedRequest});
var manager = new TradeOfferManager({community: community});

This code will be have change ip in every new loadUserInventory or every login to steam?

Once you're logged in, you need to use the same IP for all your requests.

how i can do this with steam-user ?

 

i try new beta of steam-client and steam-user for httpsocket but always get  setHttpSocket is not a function

 

is there a other way ? want use the 2 internet access i and friend have here at home ips for split 1 ip to one account and other ip to other account

 

 

thanks

[Dr. McKay]

It's setHttpProxy, not setHttpSocket.

[Gamerios]

It's setHttpProxy, not setHttpSocket.

Sorry was because of

https://github.com/DoctorMcKay/node-steam-client/releases/tag/v2.3.0-beta

There stands setHttpSocket

 

HTTP socket by calling client.setHttpSocket(url) 

 

i tryed so but it not works:

 

var steam      = require('steam-client');
var steamclient = new steam.CMClient();

steamclient.setHttpProxy(proxyUrl);

var SteamUser = require('steam-user');
var client = new SteamUser({steamclient});

to i something wrong ?

 

also when it works is whole node steam-user and steam-client and steamcommunity over proxy or only web // http requests to steamcommunity.com ?

My mistake. I've updated those release notes.

 

Get rid of the curly braces inside your SteamUser constructor: new SteamUser(steamclient). If you do it properly, all communication SteamUser does with Steam goes over the proxy.

is there any good proxy services (even paid) that can be used with the nodejs and steam client? thanks!

^ I'd like to know this too.

Also for anyone wondering why the solution mentioned above doesn't work for you, it's because you need the latest beta version of steam-client.
