Infrox Posted April 2, 2016 Report Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Hello,As you might know, steam has a limit on their API (100,000 calls per day is possible).I tried getting player's inventory just by using a simple xml request to this url:steamcommunity.com/profiles/[iD]/inventory/json/[APP]/2 I set an interval for the requests, and my script crashed after 30 requests (I think) so there must be a maximum requests per minute.However, if players in my website try to access inventory, and I have a lot of players = not good. So my question is, is there a limit of requests using loadInventory (loading bot's inventory) and loadPartnerInventory (loading player's inventory)? Thanks Edited April 2, 2016 by Infrox Quote
Dr. McKay Posted April 2, 2016 Report Posted April 2, 2016 Yes, steamcommunity.com has a global rate limit, which applies to the inventory endpoint. I don't know what the limit is exactly, but there is one and you'll start getting 429 if you hit it. Quote
Infrox Posted April 2, 2016 Author Report Posted April 2, 2016 So what would be the best way to get inventory without request limits? Quote
