ASF-STM userscript

Installation

To install this script, go to greasyfork and press "Install this script" button.

Description

Those of you who craft steam badges probably know and use https://www.steamtradematcher.com/ site. Unfortunately, this site can't now work well, because of new changes in Steam rate limits. You have to wait to sync your inventory, then you have to wait in a queue to make matching, and then results are also a bit outdated, because bot inventories are cached. Still great tool, but not as useful as before. Also some of you may know that ASF, popular tool to farm cards, also have an official plugin that implements alternative to STM, and public list of bots, involved in this process. But while you may easily setup your account as automatic bot and enroll in listing - you can't actually match without paying money to Archi - for the same reason as above - steam rate limits are too low now, so Archi maintains a pool of proxies for matching to work, this feature can't be free anymore. So, since when I made this script, you have a third alternative - this script can use api of ASF public listing to match your badges with all available bots! Be warned though, that you can still get temporary inventory ban for trading with bots with huge inventories (but matching process itself is safe, only actualy sending trade is affected). After installing this script, you can find a button for scan for possible matches on your badges page, as well as a button for configuration of this script.

Pros:

  • Unlike majority of tools after steam rate limits update, it works!
  • It's free!
  • You don't need ASF, just an userscript in your browser. Perfect if you only want to find matches occasionally, not all the time.
  • Unlike STM, it's executed on your PC, so it will always work (may be unstable though if steam is under heavy load)
  • You send all trades yourself, so everything is under your control.
  • You only trade with bots, so your trades will be confirmed almost instantly (if everything is okay)
  • Automatically adds cards to trade offer, can auto-send it too if you want.

Cons:

  • Only works with ASF listing. You can't find matches with your friends or other users, you still need STM for this.
  • Pretty slow. May take an hour or even more to scan all bots. Depends on how many badges you need to find matches for. You can limit bots you want to trade with in configuration section.
  • It may still lack some of STM features.

Consider this a permanent beta version, it's very raw and may contain bugs. So, please, check every trade before sending and report bugs and suggestions. If you want to participate in development - feel free to send issues and pull requests!

Future plans and TODOs:

  • For now script works only with regular cards. I plan to add foil cards matching too
  • Add an option to match cards for already completed badges too.
  • Add whitelist/blacklist of matched apps, to make it possible to match only a couple of needed badges without wasting time on the rest.
  • ??? your suggestions. Use issues for those. (LOL, I have too much TODO already, fat chance!)
