Need help with backpack.tf API.

[wersady]

So I'm working on a trading bot and I'm trying to make it so it pulls an items highest buyer and lowest seller but I didn't see anything like that in the API index. Do they exists? And if so what would they be?

You can use the classifieds search API with your parameters and parse the results to get what you want

To prevent abuse from bots constantly undercutting each other, as far as I am aware the API does not provide that.

The api doesnt have an endpoint that just gives you the Lowest seller and highest buyer, no. @TheVirtualEconomist

But like cashew said you can get it with the classifieds search api

{
  "error": "access_denied",
  "message": "The resource owner or authorization server denied the request.",
  "hint": "Missing \"Authorization\" header"
}

It seems that the backpack API may not be available anymore, or something is just broken on there end.

lol this has nothing to do with this thread but I love your videos FYI

 

Yeah I don't think the API does that, sorry.

Turns out I'm just dumb and didn't get my API key.

New problem: Whenever I try to authorize oauth, it asks for my bp.tf log in info, but when I put it in it just discards it and asks for it again. Any ideas?
