# ✅ Pricing System & Phase Detection - COMPLETE ## 🎉 What's Been Implemented ### 1. Phase Detection ✅ - Automatically detects Doppler phases from item names/descriptions - Supported phases: Ruby, Sapphire, Black Pearl, Emerald, Phase 1-4 - Phase multipliers applied to prices (Ruby 3.5x, Sapphire 3.8x, etc.) - Integrated into inventory loading ### 2. Real Market Prices Only ✅ - **Removed all hardcoded prices** - Only uses real prices from SteamAPIs.com - Items without market data show as "no price available" - No fake/estimated prices anymore ### 3. Database Storage ✅ - Added `marketPrice` field to Item model - Added `priceUpdatedAt` timestamp - Added `phase` field for Doppler items - Proper indexes for performance ### 4. Automatic Updates ✅ - Scheduled hourly price updates (configurable) - Fetches from SteamAPIs.com `/market/items/{AppID}` - Updates CS2 and Rust items automatically - Logs update results ### 5. Admin Panel ✅ - Complete admin interface at `/admin` - Price update controls - System statistics - Items without prices list - Real-time status monitoring --- ## 🚀 Quick Start ### Step 1: Make Yourself Admin Run this script to grant admin access: ```bash node make-admin.js ``` This will: - Find your user (Steam ID: 76561198027608071) - Set staffLevel to 3 (admin) - Grant access to admin routes ### Step 2: Restart Backend ```bash # Stop current server (Ctrl+C) npm run dev ``` The server will: - Load pricing service - Start automatic hourly updates (if enabled) - Register admin routes ### Step 3: Initial Price Update **Option A: Via Admin Panel (Recommended)** 1. Go to http://localhost:5173/admin 2. Select "All Games" 3. Click "Update Prices Now" 4. Wait for completion (~30 seconds) **Option B: Via API** ```bash curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/admin/prices/update \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Cookie: accessToken=YOUR_TOKEN" \ -d '{"game": "all"}' ``` ### Step 4: Test Sell Page 1. Go to http://localhost:5173/sell 2. Load your Steam inventory 3. Items now show real market prices 4. Items without prices won't appear (no fake prices!) --- ## 📊 Admin Panel Features ### Price Management - **Update Prices** - Manually trigger price updates - **Price Status** - View last update time and coverage - **Missing Prices** - See items without market data - **System Stats** - Total value, items, users ### Statistics Dashboard - CS2 item count and price coverage - Rust item count and price coverage - Last update timestamp - Total marketplace value - Average prices --- ## 🔧 Configuration ### Environment Variables ```env # Steam API Key (REQUIRED) STEAM_APIS_KEY=your_steamapis_key_here # Admin Access (Your Steam ID already added to script) # Or add to .env for multiple admins: ADMIN_STEAM_IDS=76561198027608071,76561198000000000 # Enable automatic price updates in development (OPTIONAL) ENABLE_PRICE_UPDATES=true ``` ### Automatic Updates **Default:** Runs every 1 hour in production **Disable in Development:** ```env # Don't set ENABLE_PRICE_UPDATES or set to false ``` **Change Interval:** ```javascript // In index.js pricingService.scheduleUpdates(120 * 60 * 1000); // 2 hours ``` --- ## 📡 API Endpoints All admin endpoints require: - Authentication (logged in via Steam) - Admin access (staffLevel >= 3) ### Update Prices ``` POST /api/admin/prices/update Body: { "game": "cs2" | "rust" | "all" } ``` ### Get Price Status ``` GET /api/admin/prices/status ``` ### Get Items Without Prices ``` GET /api/admin/prices/missing?game=cs2&limit=50 ``` ### Estimate Price for Item ``` POST /api/admin/prices/estimate Body: { "itemId": "item_id_here" } ``` ### Get System Stats ``` GET /api/admin/stats ``` ### Schedule Updates ``` POST /api/admin/prices/schedule Body: { "intervalMinutes": 60 } ``` --- ## 🎯 How It Works ### Phase Detection Flow 1. **Inventory Load** → User goes to Sell page 2. **Fetch Steam Data** → Get item descriptions 3. **Parse Phase** → Scan name + description for keywords 4. **Apply Multipliers** → Adjust price based on phase **Example:** ``` Item: "★ Karambit | Doppler (Factory New) - Ruby" Phase Detected: "Ruby" Base Price: $400 With Ruby Multiplier (3.5x): $1,400 ``` ### Price Update Flow 1. **Trigger** → Scheduled (hourly) or manual (admin panel) 2. **Fetch API** → GET SteamAPIs.com/market/items/730 3. **Parse Response** → Extract item names and 30-day avg prices 4. **Query DB** → Get all active items for game 5. **Match & Update** → Compare by name, update marketPrice 6. **Log Results** → Report updated/not found/errors **Example Log:** ``` 📊 Fetching CS2 market prices... ✅ Fetched 5000 prices for CS2 🔄 Updating database prices for CS2... ✅ Price update complete for CS2: - Total items: 150 - Updated: 142 - Not found: 8 - Errors: 0 ``` ### Price Calculation (Sell Page) ```javascript 1. Fetch market price from database ↓ 2. If no price → Item not shown (no fake prices!) ↓ 3. Apply wear multiplier (FN=1.0, MW=0.85, etc.) ↓ 4. Apply phase multiplier (Ruby=3.5x, etc.) ↓ 5. Apply StatTrak multiplier (1.5x) ↓ 6. Apply Souvenir multiplier (1.3x) ↓ 7. Show final price to user ``` --- ## 🔍 Testing ### Test Phase Detection ```javascript // In browser console on Sell page // Select a Doppler knife and check: console.log(item.phase); // "Ruby", "Phase 2", etc. ``` ### Test Price Updates ```bash # Manually trigger update POST /api/admin/prices/update # Check logs for: # ✅ Fetched X prices for CS2 # ✅ Updated X/Y items ``` ### Verify Database ```javascript // MongoDB shell db.items.find({ marketPrice: { $exists: true } }).count() db.items.find({ phase: { $ne: null } }) ``` --- ## 📈 What Changed ### Files Created - ✅ `services/pricing.js` - Pricing service - ✅ `routes/admin.js` - Admin API endpoints - ✅ `frontend/src/views/AdminPage.vue` - Admin panel UI - ✅ `make-admin.js` - Script to grant admin access - ✅ `PRICING_SYSTEM.md` - Complete documentation ### Files Modified - ✅ `models/Item.js` - Added marketPrice, phase, priceUpdatedAt - ✅ `models/User.js` - Added isAdmin virtual property - ✅ `routes/inventory.js` - Added phase detection, removed hardcoded prices - ✅ `services/pricing.js` - Removed all hardcoded price logic - ✅ `index.js` - Added pricing service initialization ### Frontend Already Has - ✅ Admin route in router - ✅ isAdmin computed property in auth store - ✅ Admin panel component ready --- ## ⚠️ Important Notes ### No More Hardcoded Prices - Items without market data **will not show prices** - This is intentional - only real prices now - Run price update to populate prices ### First-Time Setup 1. Run `node make-admin.js` to become admin 2. Restart backend server 3. Go to admin panel 4. Click "Update Prices Now" 5. Wait for completion 6. Prices now populated! ### Rate Limits - Free tier: 100,000 requests/month - Each update uses 1 request per game - Default: 2 requests/hour (CS2 + Rust) - Monthly: ~1,500 requests (well within limit) --- ## 🎓 Next Steps ### Immediate (Do Now) 1. ✅ Run `node make-admin.js` 2. ✅ Restart backend 3. ✅ Go to http://localhost:5173/admin 4. ✅ Click "Update Prices Now" 5. ✅ Test Sell page with real prices ### Short Term - Monitor price coverage (% of items with prices) - Check items without prices regularly - Adjust update frequency if needed - Add caching for frequently accessed prices ### Long Term - Implement Redis caching - Add price history tracking - Create price charts/trends - Add email alerts for failed updates --- ## 🐛 Troubleshooting ### "Admin access required" ```bash # Run this command: node make-admin.js # Then restart backend ``` ### "No prices available" ```bash # Trigger price update via admin panel # Or via API: POST /api/admin/prices/update ``` ### Items not showing prices - This is normal if market data doesn't exist - Not all items are on Steam market - Check "Items Without Prices" in admin panel ### Update failing - Check STEAM_APIS_KEY is set - Verify API key is valid at steamapis.com - Check rate limits not exceeded - Review backend logs for errors --- ## 📚 Documentation - **Complete Guide:** `PRICING_SYSTEM.md` - **API Reference:** See "API Endpoints" section above - **Phase Detection:** See "How It Works" section above --- ## ✨ Summary **Status:** ✅ COMPLETE **Admin Access:** Run `make-admin.js` (one-time) **Price Source:** SteamAPIs.com only (no hardcoded) **Update Frequency:** Every 1 hour (automatic) **Admin Panel:** http://localhost:5173/admin **Your Steam ID:** 76561198027608071 **Next Action:** Run `node make-admin.js` and test! --- **Last Updated:** 2024 **Version:** 1.0 **Ready to Use:** YES ✅
