Getting detailed CS2 item information.

[WHOOPS1E]

Hello, I'm wondering about an endpoint that provides more comprehensive information regarding CS2 items in user inventories. Specifically, I am interested in acquiring details concerning sticker wear and floats.

While I am aware of the option to individually inspect items to obtain CS2 floats and sticker wear percentages, I am exploring alternative methods. Many current platforms can swiftly retrieve inventories containing over 700 items, including floats and sticker wear percentages within a 2-3 second timeframe. I am seeking guidance on achieving a similar efficiency or exploring any available alternative procedures for this purpose.

Furthermore, I am interested in understanding all viable methods to determine the tradeability status of CS2 items, specifically identifying when they become tradable without the need for inspection.

Presently, the only method I have observed involves utilizing the default endpoint and inspecting all items marked as "[tradable: 0]" to show the date they become tradeable for a user.
The endpoint in question is: https://steamcommunity.com/inventory/<STEAMID>/730/2?l=english&count=5000
 

Your guidance or any alternative methodologies available would be greatly appreciated.

ISteamEconomy/GetAssetClassInfo includes owner_descriptions, which will tell you when an item becomes tradable.

Indeed, I wasn't aware that the ISteamEconomy/GetAssetClassInfo includes owner_descriptions, enabling the retrieval of trade locked items' dates through a single request. Thank you for this information.

However, the challenge remains in finding a method that streamlines the acquisition of information regarding sticker wear and float of items without necessitating the inspection of each individual item containing stickers and floats.

No such method exists.

To reiterate OP, would this be a sufficient method to call for each item in an inventory? Would it be expensive to call this endpoint, 700 times while iterating an inventory? Wouldn't I get rate limited? We want a property to identify the trade hold duration for each item if there is one.

 

Edit: Fixed, missing property on getInventroyContents, `tradableOnly` was set to true, 😭

GetAssetClassInfo can be called for multiple items at a time. You could also cache the result since the same classid+instanceid combo will always have the same description.
