cd tf2-express
pip install -r requirements.txt

Updating

# tf2-express/
git pull
pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt

Running

# tf2-express/
python main.py # start the bot
python panel.py # start the gui

After starting the GUI, you can open http://127.0.0.1:5000/ in your browser.

Logs will be available under logs/express.log. Level is set to DEBUG, so here you will be able to see every request etc. and more information than is shown in the terminal.

Do NOT share this log file with anyone else before removing sensitive information. This will leak your API_KEY and more.

Explanation

Random Craft Hats

If a craftable hat does not have a specific price in the database, it will be viewed as a Random Craft Hat (SKU: -100;6), if enable_craft_hats is enabled.

WARNING: This applies to any hat. Such as Ellis' Cap, Team Captain, Earbuds, Max Heads etc. This is a feature, not a bug.

Simply open the GUI and add "Random Craft Hat" to the pricelist. Set the buy and sell price to whatever you want. This item cannot get automatic price updates.

3rd Party Inventory Providers

Avoid Steam's inventory rate-limits by using a third party provider like SteamApis, Steam.Supply or your own.

3rd Party Deals

"Deals" in this context are data which is emitted by third party using a TCP socket. This data will be acted on, such as sending an offer using the included trade URL and price. They are named "deals" as I've been using it for arbitrage purposes.

Testing

# tf2-express/
python -m unittest

All of the tests should output OK, except for the version check. They should be equal.
