Spiky Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I don't know how to code at all and i want to use a trade bot, does anybody have good recommendations like https://tf2automatic.com/ or similar. And if not is https://tf2automatic.com/ trusted, will it bug out? I just want to have a trade bot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
习近平思想 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Bot.tf isn't selling any bots currently. From what I've heard, tf2 automatic are good, and many bots on backpack.tf already use them. So I'd say your best bet if you can't code one yourself is to use tf2 automatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiky Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 im not looking for paid bots, since i want to do low tier item trading. If i can make this work, i might consider looking up how to make it work on raspberry pi. not sure if it's worth it tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeus_Junior Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 TF2Automatic is a good option, yes. But looking at your backpack value, I dont think getting a trade bot right now is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can use SteamKit which is provided by Valve itself. https://github.com/SteamRE/SteamKit/ Once you get the client login thingy, you need to poll your trade offers (node-steam libraries provide an event for that, with integrated caching) and process the items for each sides. Get a sum of their values according to your database, bp.tf listings data or something else. Finally, accept them if the values match (or if partner's items total price is more than yours). You'll also need to deal with 2FA, node-steam makes it really easy. might help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piman Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hi, I'm a bot dev. It is indeed better to make your own bot. Tf2-Automatic uses the prices.tf API to price items. However, this website often has unfavorable prices, and doesn't respond well to items that don't sell well or items whose value fluctuates a lot. I can confirm this, because i talked to Nicklason, the developer of tf2 automatic, and I also tried to use prices.tf when i first started making bots. However, i recommend using his modules for trading, as they can e a lifesaver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
