D'Arvit! Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hello, Is there a way to get, just like with the regular pricelist, the data of items in the market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Arvit! Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I meant as a way just like with the API, to get the data, and then to be able to use it in programs I could write. Basicly, I want the Json of the data from the steam market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sandvich is a Liar Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I'm going to bump this. Having them in the api would make things much easier. I know there is another request here, http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/1917-steam-market-api/. Sorry if this has been discussed more, but changing the forum search filter to allow me to search for 3-letter words like "api" would make things easier as well.

lukecandy Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 can you not do this through steam? eg: http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/440/Mann%20Co.%20Supply%20Crate%20Key if this is not what you are talking about please specify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a market value inside the "current" price would be splendid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Pitt Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The way backpack.tf tracks these prices is not perfect, there's probably better / more efficient methods of doing it. What we do is basically log http://steamcommunity.com/market/recentcompleted -- You can do the same, just scan that page every 5 seconds and make your own data. Or you can figure out a way to read the graphs for each item, and dump it daily, get a much better average based on the full range of data available. There's no plan to provide an API for this, as this is not content created here -- as in, if you want that content you can generate it yourself just using the same technique we use here. It's like asking us to provide a way to read backpack data when it's available via the steam web api. It just doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
