# Market & Sell Page Fixes
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed critical issues preventing the Market page from loading items and completely rebuilt the Sell page to properly fetch Steam inventories via SteamAPIs.com.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Issues Fixed
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Market Page - Not Loading Items
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:**
|
||||
- Market page showed infinite loading
|
||||
- Items weren't being fetched from the database
|
||||
- Loading state was using wrong property name
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Causes:**
|
||||
1. **Incorrect loading property:** MarketPage was checking `marketStore.loading` instead of `marketStore.isLoading`
|
||||
2. **Vite proxy misconfiguration:** The proxy was stripping `/api` prefix, causing routes to fail
|
||||
- Frontend sent: `/api/market/items`
|
||||
- Proxy rewrote to: `/market/items`
|
||||
- Backend expected: `/api/market/items`
|
||||
|
||||
**Fixes:**
|
||||
- ✅ Changed `marketStore.loading` to `marketStore.isLoading` in MarketPage.vue
|
||||
- ✅ Removed the `rewrite` function from Vite proxy configuration
|
||||
- ✅ Backend routes now properly receive `/api` prefix
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Sell Page - Loading Database Items Instead of Steam Inventory
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:**
|
||||
- Sell page was calling `/api/market/items` (marketplace database)
|
||||
- Should be calling `/api/inventory/steam` (user's Steam inventory)
|
||||
- No Steam trade URL validation
|
||||
- No proper pricing integration
|
||||
- Missing error handling for private inventories
|
||||
|
||||
**Complete Rebuild:**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Frontend Changes (SellPage.vue)
|
||||
|
||||
**New Features:**
|
||||
1. **Steam Inventory Loading:**
|
||||
- Fetches actual Steam inventory via `/api/inventory/steam?game=cs2`
|
||||
- Supports CS2 and Rust inventories
|
||||
- Proper loading states and error handling
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Trade URL Validation:**
|
||||
- Checks if user has set Steam Trade URL
|
||||
- Shows prominent warning banner if missing
|
||||
- Links to profile page to set Trade URL
|
||||
- Prevents selling without Trade URL
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Item Pricing:**
|
||||
- Automatic price calculation via `/api/inventory/price`
|
||||
- Shows estimated sell price per item
|
||||
- Calculates total value of selected items
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Selection System:**
|
||||
- Click items to select/deselect
|
||||
- Visual indicators (blue border + checkmark)
|
||||
- Summary panel showing count and total value
|
||||
- Can clear all selections
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Enhanced UI:**
|
||||
- Item cards with proper images
|
||||
- Wear condition badges
|
||||
- Rarity color coding
|
||||
- StatTrak™ indicators
|
||||
- Game filtering (CS2/Rust)
|
||||
- Search functionality
|
||||
- Sort options (price, name)
|
||||
- Pagination
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Error States:**
|
||||
- Private inventory detection
|
||||
- Steam API timeout handling
|
||||
- Rate limit warnings
|
||||
- Network error messages
|
||||
- Retry functionality
|
||||
|
||||
7. **Confirmation Modal:**
|
||||
- Shows item count and total value
|
||||
- Important notice about Steam trade offers
|
||||
- Balance preview
|
||||
- Processing indicator during sale
|
||||
|
||||
#### Backend Changes (routes/inventory.js)
|
||||
|
||||
**New Implementation:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **SteamAPIs.com Integration:**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// Old (broken):
|
||||
https://steamcommunity.com/inventory/${steamId}/${appId}/${contextId}
|
||||
|
||||
// New (working):
|
||||
https://api.steamapis.com/steam/inventory/${steamId}/${appId}/${contextId}?api_key=${apiKey}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **API Key Support:**
|
||||
- Reads `STEAM_API_KEY` from environment variables
|
||||
- Returns proper error if API key not configured
|
||||
- Better error handling for authentication failures
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Enhanced Error Handling:**
|
||||
- 401: API authentication failed
|
||||
- 403: Private inventory
|
||||
- 404: Profile not found
|
||||
- 429: Rate limit exceeded
|
||||
- 504: Timeout errors
|
||||
- Detailed error logging
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Item Processing:**
|
||||
- Extracts rarity from Steam tags
|
||||
- Parses wear conditions (FN, MW, FT, WW, BS)
|
||||
- Detects StatTrak™ and Souvenir items
|
||||
- Filters to marketable + tradable only
|
||||
- Proper image URLs
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Pricing Endpoint:**
|
||||
- `/api/inventory/price` calculates sell prices
|
||||
- Wear-based price adjustments
|
||||
- Knife/glove premium pricing
|
||||
- StatTrak multipliers
|
||||
- Ready for real pricing API integration
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Sell Endpoint:**
|
||||
- Creates marketplace listings from inventory items
|
||||
- Updates user balance immediately
|
||||
- Maps Steam categories to site categories
|
||||
- Maps Steam rarities to site rarities
|
||||
- WebSocket notifications for balance updates
|
||||
- Removes sold items from frontend
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration Changes
|
||||
|
||||
### Vite Proxy (frontend/vite.config.js)
|
||||
|
||||
**Before:**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
proxy: {
|
||||
"/api": {
|
||||
target: "http://localhost:3000",
|
||||
changeOrigin: true,
|
||||
rewrite: (path) => {
|
||||
const newPath = path.replace(/^\/api/, "");
|
||||
console.log(`[Vite Proxy] ${path} -> ${newPath}`);
|
||||
return newPath;
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**After:**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
proxy: {
|
||||
"/api": {
|
||||
target: "http://localhost:3000",
|
||||
changeOrigin: true,
|
||||
// Don't rewrite - backend expects /api prefix
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Add to `.env` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```env
|
||||
# Steam API Key (from steamapis.com)
|
||||
STEAM_API_KEY=your_steamapis_key_here
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Get Steam API Key
|
||||
|
||||
**Option A: SteamAPIs.com (Recommended)**
|
||||
1. Go to https://steamapis.com/
|
||||
2. Sign up for free account
|
||||
3. Get API key from dashboard
|
||||
4. Free tier: 100,000 requests/month
|
||||
|
||||
**Option B: Steam Web API (Alternative)**
|
||||
1. Go to https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey
|
||||
2. Register for API key
|
||||
3. Note: Lower rate limits, less reliable
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. User Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Users must:
|
||||
1. **Login via Steam** - Required for inventory access
|
||||
2. **Make inventory public** - Steam Privacy Settings → Game details & Inventory → Public
|
||||
3. **Set Trade URL** - Profile page → Steam Trade URL field
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Trade URL Mechanic
|
||||
|
||||
### Why It's Required
|
||||
|
||||
- TurboTrades needs to send Steam trade offers to users
|
||||
- Trade URL is unique identifier for sending offers
|
||||
- Without it, items cannot be transferred
|
||||
- Required by Steam for bot trading
|
||||
|
||||
### How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. **User sets Trade URL in profile:**
|
||||
- Found at: https://steamcommunity.com/id/YOUR_ID/tradeoffers/privacy
|
||||
- Format: `https://steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/new/?partner=XXXXX&token=XXXXXXXX`
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Sell page validates Trade URL:**
|
||||
- Shows warning banner if not set
|
||||
- Disables "Sell Selected Items" button
|
||||
- Redirects to profile if user tries to sell
|
||||
|
||||
3. **After item sale:**
|
||||
- Backend creates marketplace listing
|
||||
- Credits user balance immediately
|
||||
- User receives Steam trade offer (future: bot integration)
|
||||
- Trade must be accepted to complete transfer
|
||||
|
||||
### Future Implementation (Steam Bots)
|
||||
|
||||
To fully automate:
|
||||
1. Set up Steam bot account(s)
|
||||
2. Integrate steam-tradeoffer-manager package
|
||||
3. Send automatic trade offers when items sold
|
||||
4. Verify trade completion before final credit
|
||||
5. Handle trade errors and cancellations

|

|
||||
## Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
### Current Pricing System
|
||||
- **Status:** Placeholder algorithm
|
||||
- **Issue:** Not using real market prices
|
||||
- **Impact:** Prices are estimated, not accurate
|
||||
- **Solution:** Integrate real pricing API (CSGOBackpack, Steam Market, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
### Trade Offers
|
||||
- **Status:** Not implemented
|
||||
- **Issue:** No Steam bot integration yet
|
||||
- **Impact:** Users don't receive actual trade offers
|
||||
- **Solution:** Implement steam-tradeoffer-manager and bot accounts
|
||||
|
||||
### Inventory Caching
|
||||
- **Status:** No caching
|
||||
- **Issue:** Fetches inventory on every page load
|
||||
- **Impact:** Slower load times, higher API usage
|
||||
- **Solution:** Cache inventory for 5-10 minutes in Redis
