Cs 1.6 Steam Bots

[Cristy Borovetz]

Steam has a feature called Steam Trading Cards.
These are virtual cards that players can earn by playing certain games.
Completing a set of cards allows users to craft a badge, and these badges can unlock various features like profile backgrounds, emoticons, profile levels, and more.
Steam Card Bots are bots or automated scripts that users may deploy to automatically trade, buy, or sell these cards.
These trading bots can help users complete sets more efficiently and cheaper.

Note:
Bots check your badge page NOT your inventory.
After finishing a trade always craft all the badges you got before buying again.
Never accept a trade request with your keys with promises that the cards will be sent to you later
Always validate the trade has the correct number of sets, you can verify the set amount with our extension

Last week, I brought my Art Bot to school and had my students experiment with him. They changed him as needed. This photo shows what two third grade students created out of cardboard as a solution to help Art Bot stand up. And it worked!

This activity covers visual art, engineering, art creation, problem-solving and can fit into STEAM, STEM to STEAM, science, visual art, maker spaces and arts integration programs. All you need are some dollar store items: pool noodles, battery-operated toothbrushes, markers, tape, rubber bands, masking tape and craft supplies to decorate your robots.

I apologize for the longwinded questions, I'm new to Steam trading and would like to learn more about building trade bots. Using multiple trade bots at once is a pretty common usage scenario of node-steam-user and node-steam-trade-offer-manager but I haven't found many guides or examples that go into finer detail on this. I have a fuzzy idea of how to do it but I would like some validation/clarification to see if I'm heading in the right direction.

If I have many available bot accounts, say 20 bots, and I start them all up at once, I'm sure I would run into steam's rate limiting per IP address, as well as getting a LogonSessionReplaced error if my bots were to re-login on the same IP. I see that there is a loginID option for the steam-user logOn method, I'm assuming I can use a proxy pool in tandem with this option to mitigate these issues?

Is logging in with different IP addresses enough or do I need to use a loginKey? I see that when logging in and using the rememberPassword option, it triggers a loginKey event, which I can store and use for subsequent logins. Does using a loginKey bypass the LogonSessionReplaced error as well? I don't quite understand the benefit of using a loginKey instead of username/password.

Second question - Can I send trades from the same bots that are running in separate processes? For example, maybe on app startup, I can log into all my bots at once and have them ready to initiate trades. I would also have a worker process running in the background that would start up all of the same bots to send a trade at a later time, let's say when an item on trade hold becomes available. Would these bots log off the other bots from app startup? This is probably related to my first question about using a loginKey or loginID.

Last question - How can I check if a bot is already logged on? Instead of starting up all bots on app startup, I could just login to each bot separately when a trade is requested for an item in their inventory. I would want to check if the bot is logged in already before calling the logOn method again.

Thank you for your time and for your great work on these libraries!

You would most likely run into rate limiting if you tried to run 20 bots from the same IP address. You will probably need at least two IPs. Running 10 bots per IP isn't unheard of, depending on how many HTTP requests you make from each bot. You don't necessarily need proxies if you can have multiple IPs on whatever server you're running on. In this case, you'd want to use localAddress to pick which IP each bot uses.

I don't personally use loginKeys. The biggest benefit to using them is that you don't need to have your bot's password and two-factor secret in config files on your server. Problem is, using a loginKey doesn't actually always work (thanks Valve!) so you'll need to enter passwords and 2FA codes at some point anyway. Personally, I prefer to just put the password and 2FA secret in a config file and use those.

You really shouldn't run the same bot in two different processes. You'll probably run into issues doing so. You're better off just running one process for each bot and building in some way to communicate with those processes if you need to control the bot externally. I tend to prefer to start up an HTTP server using the built-in http module and just make POST requests to control the bot.

How do you create a new process per bot within the same web app instance? Something like the Node Cluster API? I'm using ExpressJS with a postgres DB, and ideally I would create 20 bots on app startup, and maybe with each bot in its own forked process. How do I then reference those instantiated bots from my API endpoints/controllers? And last question from before that didn't get answered, how can I check if a bot is logged in already? Thanks so much!

Yeah, you can use the cluster module to spin up child processes. Usually what I do when I have multiple bots I need to run to do the same task is I have a database table with a row for each bot. The table has a column named like last_heartbeat and the bots update this column with the current time every 10 seconds or so. If the timestamp is recent, then the bot is running. You could also have another column storing the IP address (and port) of the server/process where the bot is running and use that to make HTTP calls to the bot.

The question is; how do people create market bots? The one reason I've noticed these bots is how when I sell an item for 0.01 Euro less then what the minum is, I instantly get a message in my inbox saying "XXX" bought your item. This clearly shows that this is a bot, because there's no way someone is farming the market so fast. I also believe they auto-sell it later for 0.01 more. How do they even create these kinds of bots?

I might get IP Banned right, but if I create an account @ school and just use it there, in-case I get banned it just bans the account and not my real account that I have at home. Someone even said that he went from 5 cents to 5 dollars in a day or so. The guy you linked earned $100 in one day which is crazy.

When in Item Pickup state, the H-Bot will fly from their dock and pick up any items thrown onto the floor. They will then return to their dock, and deposit the items into the dock's safe. The bot will collect up to 5 items at once before returning to its dock. Stored items can be collected by pressing the F key on the H-Bot and then clicking on the bot's items. This will move the selected items to your inventory one at a time, or 10 at a time if L-Shift is held down.

While in Thief Zapper state, the H-Bot will hover above their dock and will stay stationary. If a bot were to detect a thief within close proximity, the bot will instantly zap the thief to death. As a result, the item the thief stole will drop to the ground for the player, or another bot, to pickup.

When in Restock state, the H-Bot will randomly take items stored in their bot dock and will deliver them to an acceptable object. If imprint mode is disabled, the bot will completely fill up an object before placing an item onto another one within close proximity.

Bots will cost money every minute that passes while the game is not paused. If the player has no money, the bots will be disabled. The control panel for the bots will display information regarding costs, the percentage to mark items for sell while in the restock state, and the items it currently has in it's dock:

Players are able to set what items an H-Bot should place on an object using the imprint system. To use, the player must open a bot's control panel by pressing the F key and click on the "Imprint Mode" button at the bottom.

Next, players need to set the desired placement of items on the objects they want. To do this, the player must have the item in their hand, walk up to a compatible object, hold down the left shift key and then left click. If done correctly, the glowing spot should turn blue in color.
