About this API

Zanim otworzysz Steam trade window, chcesz wiedzieć: czy ten user może obecnie tradeować, czy jest zlockowany, czy ma Steam Guard, czy jest trade-banned? Steam Trading API odpowiada na to wszystko w jednym request.

FAQ

What does trade-eligibility return?

Trade ban status, Steam Guard requirement, lock state, days until trade restriction lifts (if applicable).

Is this real-time?

Yes — every check hits Steam fresh, with short-term caching server-side to absorb rate limits.

How does it differ from the Profile API?

Profile gives you the user's identity. Trade eligibility tells you whether they can trade right now.
