Question Automatic market seller

[darkwar123]

Can I sell my items using method httpRequest to /sellitem with options? I tried but always failed, I know that automating market listings is against Steam ToS, but how it knows that my requests are automated?

You're doing something wrong. It isn't detecting that your requests are automated, you just aren't sending the right data.

I send item's data in options.form and headers in options.headers, is it not
right?

options: {
  headers: {
   'User-Agent': 'request',
    ....
  }
  form: itemData
}

If somebody would be useful options need to look like this:

var options = {
        url: 'https://steamcommunity.com/market/sellitem/',
        headers: {
            'Origin': 'http://steamcommunity.com',
            'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.112 Safari/537.36',
            'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8',
            'Referer': 'http://steamcommunity.com/my/inventory/',
            'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate',
            'Accept-Language': 'ru,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.6,en-AU;q=0.4'
        },
        form: {
            sessionid: this.sessionid,
            appid: item.appid,
            contextid: item.contextid,
            assetid: item.assetid,
            amount: 1,
            price: item.price
        }
    };

Hi, thanks for sharing. I have problem with this - always get status code 400.

 

	var options = {
		url: 'https://steamcommunity.com/market/sellitem/',
		headers: {
			'Origin': 'http://steamcommunity.com',
			'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.112 Safari/537.36',
			'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8',
			'Referer': 'http://steamcommunity.com/my/inventory/',
			'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate',
			'Accept-Language': 'ru,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.6,en-AU;q=0.4'
		},
		form: {
			sessionid: session,
			appid: items[index]["appid"],
			contextid: items[index]["contextid"],
			assetid: items[index]["assetid"],
			amount: 1,
			price: 3 // price is $0.03
		}
	};

	request(options, function (error, response, body) {
		if(!error && response.statusCode == 200){
			console.log("Item added on market ($" + price + ") > " + items[index]["market_hash_name"]);
		}else{
			console.log("Error item > " + items[index]["market_hash_name"]);
			console.log(error);
			console.log(body);
			console.log(response);
			console.log(response.statusCode);
		}
	});

Where is the problem?

Thanks for everything
