Error 26 (eruslt=26) - unable to send offers via BOT

[Pip]

Hello,

I use your BOT. I have got over 100 Steam accounts with a lot of items. All of the items are being sent via your BOT. Since a few days, exactly since 05.03.2025, 00:20 (European time) I am getting an "26" error at a lot of my accounts. Items are not being sent.

 

2025-03-05T00:27:44.588Z - error: Error creating trade offer orderId=XXX, botName=XXX, eresult=26, message=There was an error sending your trade offer.  Please try again later. (26), skin=P2000 | Lifted Spirits (Field-Tested), steamId=[U:1:XXX], user_id=XXX, tradeurl=https://steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/new/?partner=XXX&token=XXX

 

I am aware of that: https://steamerrors.com/26

The problem is that:

I have got many items at my inventory, for example 10 x "P2000 | Lifted Spirits (Field-Tested)" item.

My inventory is not full. It is not banned or limited. Items are being present at my account, they are not being sent in other trade offers meanwhile. 

I am able to send items manually, without using a BOT.

Some items, on the same Steam account, are being sent without a problem, while others generate "26" error". 

I highly doubt that it is some kind of a shadow-ban imposed by Steam. I cannot find any logic in this error.

I have tried to send random items, with other assetIDs but the same problem occurs.

I have tried to add funds to Steam accounts, play CS2 game, buy games. Nothing helps. 

 

Did Steam made some changes in the Steam API in the last few days?

That error code indicates that your item ID is wrong or doesn't exist. Some people have reported that item descriptions now contain invalid asset IDs which you need to filter out if you're parsing inventories yourself.

Hello,

There is indeed a problem with inconsistency of IDs and AssetIDs in the inventory. How can I solve that? That is the reason why I get error 26 while sending trade offers.

It seems that I have to manually repair Inventory object that is being passed on to a function creating trade offer.
AssetID is being registered once the trade offer is successfully completed. I can collect that data, add them to new columns: sm_product & market_items.

Afterwards, send this parameter each time to the BOT so it will replace this parameter in the Inventory object before creating a trade. 
Is that a proper solution?

Ignore any id and assetid properties in the description object when you merge it onto the asset object.
