401 after a while of getting inventory

[dawe]

I get this: Error retrieving inventory: Error: HTTP error 401 after a couple of days of running my script. It works for a while then it crashes with that error code. Below is the complete code:

Edit: To clarify, it gets the inventory no problem then just stops working.

 

const express = require('express');
const SteamCommunity = require('steamcommunity'); // Assuming you're using steamcommunity package
const app = express();
const community = new SteamCommunity();
const axios = require('axios'); // Import axios for making HTTP requests

// Define appIDs for different games
const APP_IDS = {
    csgo: 730, // CS:GO
    rust: 252490 // Rust
};

// Route to fetch inventory
app.get('/inventory/:steamID/:game', async (req, res) => {
    const steamID = req.params.steamID;
    const game = req.params.game.toLowerCase(); // Get the game from the URL parameter
    const appID = APP_IDS[game]; // Get app ID from the predefined APP_IDS object
    const contextID = game === 'csgo' ? 2 : 2; // Context ID for CS:GO is 2, Rust is 6

    if (!appID) {
        return res.status(400).json({ error: "Invalid game specified. Please use 'csgo' or 'rust'." });
    }

    try {
        // Get the inventory for the requested steamID and appID
        const inventory = await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            community.getUserInventoryContents(steamID, appID, contextID, true, (err, inventory) => {
                if (err) {
                    return reject(err); // Reject the promise with the error
                }
                resolve(inventory); // Resolve the promise with the inventory
            });
        });

        // Return the inventory as a JSON response
        res.json({ steamID, appID, inventory });
    } catch (err) {
        console.error('Error retrieving inventory:', err);
        res.status(500).json({ error: "Error retrieving inventory", details: err.message });
    }
});

// Route to fetch sales history from Skinport
app.get('/sales-history/:appID/:currency', async (req, res) => {
    const { appID, currency } = req.params;

    try {
        // Make a request to the Skinport API to get sales history
        const response = await axios.get('https://api.skinport.com/v1/sales/history', {
            params: {
                app_id: appID,
                currency: currency
            }
        });

        // Return the sales history data from Skinport as JSON
        res.json(response.data);
    } catch (err) {
        console.error('Error retrieving sales history:', err);
        res.status(500).json({ error: "Error retrieving sales history", details: err.message });
    }
});


// Start the Express server
const PORT = 2001; // Set the port
app.listen(PORT, () => {
    console.log(`Server is running on port ${PORT}`);
});

Your Steam session expires after a while and you'll need to login again when you get 401.

Thank you. How do I refresh the session as I'm not using an account?

Oh, you're not logging in? 401 sounds like a private inventory then.

Hi, it's still happening. The inventory is public.
