Steam web API getting CS:GO inventory

Question

Alright, so I have been looking for this all over the internet, and what I have found out is that when you want to get someones steam inventory you use this:

http://api.steampowered.com/IEconItems_{appid}/GetPlayerItems/v0001/?key={apikey}&steamid={steamid}&format=json

But the problem is that when I do that for CS:GO (appid: 730), I just get an empty response back, even though the user has items in their inventory.

sounds like a bug then, might want to contact steam? – Meathead

Kinda also what i thought, but wasn't sure if it was me doing it wrong – Puryear

But then again, if i go to here and sign in, they can read my inventory csgolounge.com/match?m=1483 – Puryear

possibly related? github.com/Jessecar96/SteamBot/issues/508 – Meathead

Answer 1

if you want to get the json just use one of the following links:

general steam inventory: ( 1: games, 3: coupons, 6: trading cards, 7: rewards )

http://steamcommunity.com/id/<USERURL>/inventory/json/753/1
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/<STEAMID>/inventory/json/753/1

http://steamcommunity.com/id/<USERURL>/inventory/json/753/3
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/<STEAMID>/inventory/json/753/3

http://steamcommunity.com/id/<USERURL>/inventory/json/753/6
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/<STEAMID>/inventory/json/753/6

http://steamcommunity.com/id/<USERURL>/inventory/json/753/7
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/<STEAMID>/inventory/json/753/7

games :

http://steamcommunity.com/id/<USERURL>/inventory/json/<APPID>/2
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/<STEAMID>/inventory/json/<APPID>/2

the problem was not the counter-strike appid, you just used an old link that only works for the general steam inventory. I suggest you using the link using STEAMID because not every steamuser has set a customurl.

Yea

does it block after the call limit of 20 per minute? – Inning

So if i have a traffic of over 10000 per second on my website, I am basically screwed? – Inning

if youre website does this many calls you are screwed anyway... you should strongly consider your concept and think about caching if possible – Outrange

Do we have any third party plugin Shiv can do this? I think Bitskins have this kind of functionality in which you can choose whether to display your inventory from steam or from cache. I wonder how did they do that... – Inning

yes but the one most websites use costs some money... csgo.steamlytics.xyz/api see they have different plans for different website "sizes" - there might be different ones but most websites use this one afaik – Outrange
