Introduction

Itemplatform is an open platform that aims to solve many of the problems that occur when creating applications that deal with virtual items, such as e.g. Steam items. With it, users can easily and quickly send and receive items, and also sell and buy items on the Itemplatform market. The platform is designed from the gound up to be integrated by other services that can use its API for everything regarding items.

This repository serves as an entry point for developers wanting to integrate the Itemplatform API into their application. It contains two demo applications: 1.) Itemplatform trade in demo: perfect when your application works with user balances (=giving each user credits/coins/points/etc. to use on your site) 2.) Receving & sending specific items: the demo application accepts incoming items and sends them back immediately to their owners.

The demo applications are kept very simple on purpose. However, in the process all important API functions are used, and you can use the source code of this demo freely used as the foundation stone of your application / integration.
