seler Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 Hi there.My web-app have ATM about 10k users.It is good idea to use only 1 bot for loadUserInventory on my web app or should I make more bots for this?Regards. Quote
Dr. McKay Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 It depends on how frequently you'll need to load inventories. If you need to load more than say 2 inventories per minute, you'll get rate-limited pretty hard if you try to do that from one IP. Quote

If you need to load more than say 2 inventories per minute, you'll get rate-limited pretty hard if you try to do that from one IP.So If I need for example to load about 100 inventories per minute I need 50 bots?

Dr. McKay Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 You'd need probably 5 IPs. Not necessarily 5 bots, but 5 IPs. You also don't really need a bot to get an inventory. Quote
seler Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Posted March 28, 2016 If I will create a lot of trade offers from 1 IP I will get rate-limited too on my address?what is other option to load inventory without bot? Quote
Dr. McKay Posted March 28, 2016 Report Posted March 28, 2016 If you're sending like 20 offers per second then there might be an issue, but I highly doubt you have that kind of volume. It's not difficult to just manually download https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/[steamid]/inventory/json/[appid]/[contextid]in whatever language and parse it. Quote

Dr. McKay Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 Yes. It has the IP rate-limit I mentioned above. Quote
seler Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Posted March 29, 2016 So solution is hold bots on different servers if I dont want to reach limit? Quote
Dr. McKay Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 Or to have one server with several IPs and change the localAddress. Quote
cookie Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 Yes. It has the IP rate-limit I mentioned above. Do you know what's the expected response in that scenario? Quote
darkwar123 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) Yes. It has the IP rate-limit I mentioned above.Hm, I have the site 200 users online and I call loadUserInventory more than 2 inventories per minute (I think it is about 10 per second sometimes). But steam doesn't show error 429, I don't use proxies, using only multibots Edited August 12, 2016 by darkwar123 Quote
