Are inventory items currently in a trade designated so in any way?

[Elihu]

I'm not sure if this goes in `node-steam-tradeoffer-manager` or `node-steamcommunity` so I apologize if this is in the wrong area. My scenario:

I can currently

• Get my inventory
• Send/receive trade requests

My issue

• If the offer is not yet accepted I see the item still in my inventory, making it *appear* as though it is still giftable

My question

• Is there something I'm missing in the item description or anything that designates `this item is currently off limits because it is already in a trade`? 

I did some searching of the docs but maybe I just wasn't searching for the correct thing. Any help is appreciated.

No, the only way you can tell if an item is currently in a trade is to pull your list of active trade offers and see if it's in there. There is no indication in the inventory that an item is in an active trade offer.

Thanks so much for your help. 

So in a follow-up...would I need to locate items currently in a trade by: id? assetid? instanceid? I'm guessing the first but I'm not sure.

 

[Dr. McKay]

id and assetid are the same thing, both property names are used for convenience. To identify an item, you'd need to check the appid + contextid + assetid combo.

I will review that post. Thanks so much!
