API, can we hide listings?

[wutwut872]

Wondering if there is a way to hide a listing via the API, vs just to delete and create one. 

Anyone have information on this? Thanks!

I don't believe there is, no

what documentation

 

in all seriousness, it looks like a POST request is sent to

https://backpack.tf/user/<SID64>/classifieds

with the following form data:

{
    intent: <buy | sell>
    action: <hide | unhide>
    may_unhide: false
    user-id: <userid>
}

where intent can be buy or sell, action can be hide or unhide, and user-id is your user-id cookie(?)

@Vortegan Reopening to ask a follow up question, is there a way to hide a single/list of listings as opposed to all or none? Tried to comb through old questions but couldn't find any answers on that. Thanks for the help

@wutwut872

 

POST to https://backpack.tf/classifieds/hide/LISTING_ID or https://backpack.tf/classifieds/unhide/LISTING_ID to hide or unhide respectively.

 

Listing ID of Sell listing will look like: "440_8962006733", which is "440_" + asset ID of TF2 item.

Listing ID of Buy Listing will look like: "440_76561198266614530_d6b8b00c778686c1930196779c3b205e", which is "440_" + steam ID of user + "_" + (probably) ID of listing in backpack.tf DB.

the form data only contains one property this time:

{
	"user-id": "<user-id>"
}

 

For future reference, open the network tab in developer tools, and hide/unhide a listing, you can see the requests i've mentioned above.

@Vortegan Thank you very much! The network tab tip is super useful.
