node update-prices-now.js rust

📊 Understanding Profit

Revenue Calculation

Gross Profit = Sum of all fees collected
Net Profit = Gross Profit - (Withdrawals - Deposits)

Example

Users deposited:     $10,000
Users withdrew:      $6,000
Fees collected:      $500
───────────────────────────
Net Profit = $500 - ($6,000 - $10,000)
           = $500 - (-$4,000)
           = $4,500

You're holding $4,000 of user funds (float) + $500 profit = $4,500 total.

Key Metrics

  • Deposits: Money added by users (not profit, it's their funds)
  • Withdrawals: Money removed by users (reduces float)
  • Purchases: Items bought (internal transaction)
  • Sales: Items sold (generates fees)
  • Fees: YOUR REVENUE (typically % of each sale)
  • Net Balance: Deposits - Withdrawals (user funds you're holding)

🔧 Configuration

Environment Variables

Required in .env:

# Steam API Key (get from https://steamapis.com/)
STEAM_APIS_KEY=your_key_here

# Admin Access
ADMIN_STEAM_IDS=76561198027608071

# Automatic Updates (optional in dev)
ENABLE_PRICE_UPDATES=true

Automatic Updates

Production: Always enabled Development: Set ENABLE_PRICE_UPDATES=true

Updates run:

  • Immediately on startup
  • Every 60 minutes thereafter

Update Schedule

You can adjust via Admin API:

POST /api/admin/prices/schedule
{
  "intervalMinutes": 60
}

🎯 Item Price Coverage

Why Some Items Don't Match

  1. Different Names: DB has "AK-47 | Redline" but Steam has "AK-47 | Redline (Field-Tested)"
  2. Not Tradable: Some items aren't on Steam market
  3. Discontinued: Items no longer available
  4. Spelling Differences: Minor name variations

Solutions

  1. Use Price Override: Manually set prices in Admin Panel
  2. Update Item Names: Match Steam market names exactly
  3. Wait for Updates: System tries multiple matching strategies

Current Matching Strategy

The system tries 3 methods:

  1. Exact match: AK-47 | Redline
  2. With wear: AK-47 | Redline (Field-Tested)
  3. Partial match: Strips wear/prefixes and compares base names

📝 Troubleshooting

No Prices Showing

Check 1: Run diagnostic

node check-prices.js

Check 2: Verify API key

echo $STEAM_APIS_KEY

Check 3: Manual update

node update-prices-now.js

Items Tab Not Loading

Issue: Empty filter values cause validation errors Fixed: Query params now filter out empty values Solution: Just refresh the page - it works now

Admin Menu Not Gold

Issue: NavBar component not updated Fixed: Gold gradient added to Admin menu item Look for: Yellow/gold background in user dropdown

Prices Not Auto-Updating

Check: Is backend running? Check: Is ENABLE_PRICE_UPDATES=true in dev? Check: Backend logs show " Scheduling automatic price updates"


🔐 Security Notes
