refresh your backpack via API

[Medic Bot]

I have recently resurrected my old trade bot, fixed some things and improved others but i've noticed that it does NOT refresh it's backpack on the website (therefore its unable to resell what it buys).

Back when i used to run this trade bot i used the same call that you send with the browser when you refresh your backpack manually from the website (https://backpack.tf/_inventory/STEAMID?&source=steam&fallback=true) as suggested by an user on the forums centuries ago and because oauth is a disgrace.

It used to work flawlessy, now it gets some cloudflare stuff when making that call so i suppose bots have been disallowed from using it and i wonder: is oauth the only option now or is there another one that i'm not aware of?

A POST to /api/inventory/{steamid}/refresh with post data

{
	"token": "yourusertoken"
}

Returns 

{
    "current_time": 1604960875,
    "last_update": 1604960872,
    "timestamp": 1604960872,
    "next_update": 1604961052,
    "refresh_interval": 180
}

 

Should do the trick
