Receiving items

[Felix]

Hello, sometimes when my sent offer is accepted, I am calling getReceivedItems method and array in "items" argument is empty.

This offer is accepted and items are on bot.

Why this is happening sometimes?

I think that there is only way to fix this is create recalling of this method if array is empty with something like ~5 iterations.

Steam is Steam.

Thank you.

One more question: when I am doing offer.send method and there is status "sent" I am receiving offer.id so I can create offer link for user.

But there is delay like 0-5 seconds for this link after status is "sent".

In this delay user is receiving: "An error was encountered while processing your request:".

So if he will refresh this page in ~5 seconds everything will be ok.

Is there any ways to check this delay or only way to fix this is manual timeout?

it's because of steam, you can use:

setTimeout(function(){displayOfferUrl();}, 7000);

on the client side, replace displayOfferUrl() with your own function(s) that will display the trade url, it will show the url after 7 seconds.

This is interesting. I've never experienced any kind of delay for offers which don't need confirmation.

 

Are you 100% sure that the offer is "sent" and not pending confirmation (which is being auto-confirmed or something)?

It is on event "sentOfferChanged" where "offer.state" is "Accepted" and only offer.itemsToReceive.

Now it is working well but sometimes there is delay. Steam so slow sometimes.

I have another question...

Sometimes when sent offer is accepted and it is a withdraw offer (only items to partner), I am receiving deposit (only items from partner) notification.

Is it bug of steam again or how to control it more better?

This is how I am checking state of offers:

// ETradeOfferState.Accepted:
if (offer.itemsToGive.length !== 0) {
// withdraw
}
else {
// deposit
}

I don't understand what you're saying.

[Felix]

I don't understand what you're saying.

 

I have only 2 types of sent offers:

1) only items from partner (offer.itemsToReceive only) - deposit type.

2) only items to partner (offer.itemsToGive only) - withdraw type.

On "sentOfferChanged" event where "offer.state" is "Accepted" I need to understand what type of this offer.

I am checking this with the code that I wrote above.

But there is problem sometimes, when I am sending offer with withdraw type and this offer is accepted, bot is telling me that this offer is deposit (but there is offer.itemsToGive.length !== 0).

Are there any solutions how to check type of offer in this event except global variables?

[Dr. McKay]

Is itemsToGive for sure bigger than 0? Also are you up to date?

Mhm, I have 1.21.1. Will update now.

This offer was sent (with only items from bot) and accepted so logically itemsToGive was bigger than 0.

I will create full debug log for this.

This is that offer.

[Dr. McKay]

I ask if you're up to date because Steam can sometimes return data that implies that the offer is completely empty (no items on either side). A recent update made the getOffers request fail instead of returning that bad data.

[Felix]

Now I understood.

Thank you!

So there is no way to understand what type of this offer by checking it only in offer object?

Will check it in DB then.

itemsToGive: [],
itemsToReceive: [],

[Dr. McKay]

Are you up to date?

[Felix]

Are you up to date?

 

Yes, 1.21.4.

[Dr. McKay]

Sorry for the late reply. Does that specific offer always appear to be empty?
