About this API

Voordat je een Steam trade-venster opent, wil je weten: kan deze gebruiker nu traden, is hij gelockt, heeft hij Steam Guard, is hij trade-banned? De Steam Trading API beantwoordt dit alles in één enkele 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.
