3.2 - Item identifying parameter

You have 3 choices of item identifying parameters on how you want to add your items:

  1. item (recommended) - The item's full name. For example: Max's Severed Head
  2. sku (recommended) - The item "Stock Keeping Unit".
  3. name - Must be the item based name (without any quality/effect/Killstreak and etc)
  4. defindex - The item definition index. You can find it here or here
  5. id - The item Assetid.

3.2.1 - item parameter

This is a new parameter added to the v4.0.0 update. You can just simply add an item with its full name. Example:

  • Max's Severed Head
  • Taunt: The Schadenfreude
  • Terror-Watt Stately Steel Toe
  • Specialized Killstreak Powerjack
  • Strange Frozen Aurora Shortstop (Factory New)
  • Bill's Hat (Paint: The Bitter Taste of Defeat and Lime)

Note: Please report to our Discord server if you're unable to add any item because the return sku was invalid.

3.2.2 - sku parameter

This parameter is recommended because you will no longer need to use the sub-parameters in Table 3.2. So how can I find the sku of a specific item?

Using marketplace.tf

  • Go to Marketplace.tf.
  • In the search bar, type in the item name or Unusual effect, or anything related.
  • If "No items found", simply click on the "In stock" button two to the right of the search bar and it will change to "Not In Stock".
  • If your desired item appeared, click on it and take a look at the URL. The item sku is right at the end of the URL.
listings

Using !sku command

  • You can use the !sku command in the steam chat to obtain the sku. You will need to use the full item name.
  • Example:
    listings

3.2.3 - name and defindex parameters (not recommended)

These two parameters act the same since the defindex (in integer form) is just a replacement for the name of an item (if the bot failed to choose the item, so it needs more specific detail of an item). There are 14 optional sub-parameters under these two item identifying parameters:

Table 3.2: Sub-parameters for name and defindex.

Parameter Type Default Description
quality string Unique Normal/ Genuine/ Vintage/ Unusual/ Unique/ Community/ Valve/ Self-made/ Strange/ Haunted/ Collector's/ Decorated (this is case sensitive). If not stated, it will default to Unique.
craftable boolean true Set to false if you want the item to be a Non-Craftable.
australium boolean false Set to true if you want that item to be an Australium (Australium-able weapons only).
effect string null An Unusual effect name, for example: Sunbeams or Green Confetti.
killstreak number|string 0 This should be killstreak type. Types: 1 or Killstreak, 2 or Specialized Killstreak, and 3 or Professional Killstreak.
festive boolean false Set to true if the item is Festivized.
quality2 boolean false Set to true if you want to add Strange as second quality item, i.e., Strange Unusual, Strange Haunted and etc.
paintkit string null When adding a decorated weapon/skin. This should be the War Paint name (sell order only).
wear number|string null When adding a decorated weapon/skin. This should be wear type (i.e., 1 for Factor New, or can just be Factory New).

target number|string null You will need to include this if you want to add Unusualifier, Strangifier, Kit, or Fabricator to the pricelist. It should be the targeted item name or defindex. For example for adding Killstreak Scattergun Kit, it will be target=Scattergun or target=200
output number|string null When adding any targeted item with output (i.e., Fabricator, Chemistry Set), this must be included.
outputQuality string null The same as quality parameter, but this one is for Collector's Chemistry Set, which should be always Collector's
crateseries number null Specify crate series, usually only use for Mann Co. Supply Crate and Mann Co. Salvaged Supply Crate

3.2.4 - id

Use this parameter if you want to specifically sell a similar item, but with attachments on it.
