Question Getting escrow during creation of a trade?

[Techload]

So, I'm currently working on developing a trading bot for my website, instead of letting someone else do it, as there's only one way to gain experience.

 

So far I have managed to do somewhat of a decent job, it works. But I have come to a point where I would need to do so it does not trade with users that are in escrow.

This should preferably be checked during the process of making the offer.

 

I have read, and tried what have been given in this thread - https://dev.doctormckay.com/topic/623-decline-trade-hold/ - but have reached the point of where I'm unsure of what to do, and seeking help from someone who have more knowledge than me with this.

 

So I hope there's someone who's able to help, or point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks in advance.

What exactly (please show code) have you tried, and what was the outcome?

The code that I'm using is as follows:

function makeTrade(){

	//Creating the offer, and adding the items.
	var offer = manager.createOffer(userSteamID); //Creating a offer to their steamid

	//Adding their items. turn this into addTheirItems later instead.
	var theirItems = (row[0].userassetid).split(',');
	for (i = 0; i < theirItems.length; i++) {
		console.log('Adding: ' + theirItems[i]);
		offer.addTheirItem({"appid": 730, "contextid": 2, "assetid": theirItems[i]});
	}

	//Adding our itemsm, turn this into addMyItems later instead.
	var ourItems = (row[0].botassetid).split(',');
	for (i = 0; i < ourItems.length; i++) {
		console.log('Adding: ' + ourItems[i]);
		offer.addMyItem({"appid": 730, "contextid": 2, "assetid": ourItems[i]});
	}

	offer.send("Just attempting to do an offer.", userToken, function(err, status) {
		if (err) {
			console.log(err);
		} else {
			console.log('Tradeoffer sent');
		}
	});
	});
}

What I did try, was adding it after the var offer had been made, I did also attempt to add it during a trade processing, but both instances turned up with it being a invalid function.

It looks like you're using TradeOfferManager v1. That particular method was added in v2.

Thanks for the response, I tried uninstalling the current version that I was using, and installed a new one, however, now I'm getting a callback error, stating it's not a function.

To be precise, the whole error is as follows:

callback(error);
                        ^

I updated the whole send trade function, and now it's working.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

[Dr. McKay]

I'm glad you got it working.

 

If you haven't already, I suggest that you check all the breaking changes in v2 to make sure nothing else needs to be changed on your end.
