Obtaining Steam Credentials

1. Shared Secret & Identity Secret

• Download Steam Desktop Authenticator (SDA)
• Login with your Steam account
• Extract shared_secret and identity_secret from the SDA configuration files

2. Trade Links

• Go to Steam → Inventory → Trade Offers → "Who can send me trade offers?"
• Copy the complete trade URL

3. Game Codes (AppID)

Game	AppID
Team Fortress 2	440
Unturned	304930
Rust	252490
DOTA 2	570

📊 How It Works

1. Authentication: Both accounts login using Mobile Authenticator codes
2. Web Session: Establishes trading sessions with Steam servers
3. Inventory Scan: Locates tradeable items in configured game
4. Trade Initiation: Account 1 sends item to Account 2 with security code
5. Trade Acceptance: Account 2 validates security and accepts trade
6. Continuous Loop: Process repeats with items switching between accounts

🌐 Deployment

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Login Errors

• Verify username/password are correct
• Ensure Mobile Authenticator is active on both accounts
• Wait 1 minute if Steam Guard errors appear

Empty Inventory

• Confirm you have tradeable items in the specified game
• Verify GAME_CODE matches your game's AppID
• Check that items are not trade-locked

Confirmation Errors

• Validate identity_secret is correct and current
• Ensure Mobile Authenticator hasn't been reset
• Regenerate secrets using SDA if needed

Trade Failures

• One account may have trade restrictions
• Check Steam privacy settings (inventory must be public)
• Verify both accounts are not trade-banned

Debug Mode

Set environment variable for detailed logging:

DEBUG=AutoTrades npm start

✅ Is it safe?

• Yes. Steam/Valve allows the use of trading bots, as long as they follow the rules and are not used for fraudulent activities.
• Trivia: Valve even maintains a whitelist for trusted and verified bot accounts.

⚠️ Important Warnings

• Rate limiting - Steam may temporarily restrict high-frequency trading
• Account security - Keep credentials secure and never share

📈 Performance Optimization

• Minimize inventory size for faster item lookup
• Monitor logs for performance bottlenecks
• Stable internet connection recommended
