Steam Market Trading Parser
📌 Project Goal
Create a trading bot that will automatically scan items on the Steam Market, recognize the knife phase by image, filter them according to specified conditions, and automatically purchase if the item is suitable.
Scanning should be as safe as possible — using proxies and sessions, and purchases are made from the main IP.
💻 Functional Modules
1. 🔍 Steam Market Parsing
Scans predefined links/filters (searching for knives).
Extracts:
listing_id(item ID)Item name
Price
Link to item image
(optional) float, if available through extension or other sources.
Supports list of links (in config or via file).
2. 🧠 Knife Phase Recognition
The bot loads the item image and compares it with reference images of phases:
Phase 1,
Phase 2,
Phase 3
Phase 4
Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Black Pearl
Algorithm:
Comparison using SSIM or
imagehash(perceptual comparison).If the match exceeds the set threshold — the phase is considered matching.
Reference images are stored in a folder with a structure by phases.
3. 📥 Automatic Purchase
If the item matches the filters (phase, price) — the bot automatically buys it.
Purchase is performed through an authorized Steam account using:
cookies (
steamLoginSecure,sessionid)main IP (no proxies are used during purchase).
Requirements:
Balance check before purchase.
Re-verification of ID and price before confirmation.
Imitates a regular user (User-Agent, headers, delays).
After purchase, the bot saves the record and sends a notification.
4. 🧠 Memory of Already Scanned Items
The bot remembers all previously processed
listing_idto:Avoid overloading Steam.
Prevent re-downloading the same images.
Exclude duplicate purchases.
Uses an SQLite database (
memory.db) or similar.Ability to clear outdated records based on TTL (e.g., 60-120 minutes).
5. 🛡️ Security
All parsing requests are performed via proxies to:
Bypass Steam limits.
Reduce the risk of blocking.
Usage of:
Proxy rotation
Delays between requests
Timeouts, error handling
Item purchase is always performed:
Without proxies
With a "white" IP (owner's real IP)
With cookies and session stored in
/cookies/
⚙️ Filters and Settings
User specifies:
Maximum purchase price (in $)
Target phases (Phase 2, Ruby, etc.)
List of Steam Market links or combine with target phases.
Path to cookies/session
P.S. Steam has introduced strict restrictions for bot detection. An experienced person who understands bot writing and how to bypass all restrictions is needed.

Hello, I worked on a trading parser for Steam Market that scanned 100+ lots per hour, filtered and automatically purchased according to specified parameters. Do you already have ready-made reference images of knife phases?
I suggest we get in touch, I will provide free technical consultation and we will develop a development plan + I will tell you about my team!

Hello, Evgeny!
My name is Semyon — I am the manager of Wanord company, we specialize in automation and creation of high-load bot systems. Your project — a Steam Market scanner with knife phase detection and purchase — fully fits into our set of tasks.
What we will do:
— Lot parser based on provided links with proxy support and limit bypassing
— Knife phase recognition module based on image (using SSIM/imagehash)
— Purchase using cookies and a white IP, with balance check and ID verification
— Filtering by phase and price, preventing repeat purchases through a database
— All Steam requests are protected, with rotating proxies, a stable mechanism
We have experience creating bot automations with image recognition and working through cookies. We can send examples via private message.
… Cost: from $1000, timeframe — 14–18 days. This is preliminary; the final technical specification may clarify details.
We can implement everything. Please send a private message — we will discuss details, propose architecture, and ensure secure implementation.
Waiting for your message!
