Rust inventory value

Rust inventory API with item values

Request game=rust to receive Rust inventory items in the same native response used for CS2, TF2 and Dota 2. Market names are kept verbatim for price lookup and reconciliation.

From a public Rust inventory to a usable value

Rust is Steam AppID 252490, context 2. WOK selects this mapping with game=rust; you do not need to build a separate inventory parser.

Try a public SteamID64 in the Steam inventory checker and choose Rust. The two free checks per IP are for manual evaluation, not a production polling quota.

For your application, keep a WOK key on your server and run the Rust curl, Node.js or Python example. Check status before reading total: private, empty and rate-limited inventories are different outcomes.

Display unpriced next to the USD estimate. Rust items with no matched catalog observation remain in items; a partial total must not be presented as the full backpack value. Show inventory cache age separately from item price timestamps.

Quickstart

Use WOK from a trusted server. Keep the API key outside browser bundles and public repositories.

Response schema

Stable fields for typed clients, storage and error handling.

Rust inventory API with item values response schema
Field	Type	Meaning
`steamid`	`string`	Canonical 17-digit SteamID64.
`game`	`string`	Documented key: cs2, rust, tf2, dota2, pubg, sandbox, unturned or payday2. Numeric Steam appids are also accepted and returned as app<appid> without catalog pricing.
`status`	`string`	ok, empty, private, notfound, limited or error.
`total`	`number`	Priced sellable inventory total in USD.
`items_total`	`integer`	Number of item instances before top truncation.
`sellable`	`integer`	Tradable and marketable item instances, including unpriced ones; total sums matched values.
`untradable`	`integer`	Item instances excluded from sellable value.
`untradable_value`	`number`	Value of excluded untradable items in USD.
`tradelocked`	`integer`	Item instances currently trade locked.
`tradelocked_value`	`number`	Value of trade-locked items in USD.
`unpriced`	`integer`	Instances without a usable price.
`items[]`	`array`	Items with market names, count, trade state, prices and optional inspect links.
`items[].markethashname`	`string`	Canonical price-catalog market hash name.
`items[].marketname`	`string`	Steam market display name when supplied.
`items[].type`	`string`	Steam-supplied item type text; not a WOK-normalized category.
`items[].count`	`integer`	Grouped item instance count.
`items[].tradable`	`integer`	Steam tradability flag, 0 or 1.
`items[].marketable`	`integer`	Steam marketability flag, 0 or 1.
`items[].tradelocked`	`boolean`	Whether the grouped item is trade locked.
`items[].tradelockuntil`	`number\|null`	Unix expiry when a trade lock is known.
`items[].pricemedian`	`number\|null`	Selected source median price in USD.
`items[].pricesource`	`string`	Selected catalog source; empty when the item is unpriced.
`items[].priceupdatedat`	`number\|null`	Selected source observation time, separate from inventory cache age.
`items[].prices`	`object`	Per-source USD prices.
`items[].inspect_links`	`array`	Optional CS2 inspect actions.
`meta`	`object`	Cache age/TTL, cached/shared flags, timing, bytes, lane and upstream-attempt metadata.
`meta.cached`	`boolean`	Whether the inventory snapshot was reused.
`meta.shared`	`boolean`	Whether this request joined an in-flight singleflight fetch.
`meta.cache_age`	`integer`	Snapshot age in seconds.
`meta.cache_ttl`	`integer`	Applied freshness window in seconds.

Limits and error behavior

Rules clients should handle explicitly in production.

The Steam inventory must be public. Private, missing and empty inventories are distinct statuses, not successful empty data.

top accepts 0 through 100. top=0 returns every item row; items_total still describes the complete inventory when a top limit is used.

Prices are USD. An item can be valid while pricemedian is null; use unpriced instead of treating missing prices as zero-value evidence.

A partial or malformed Steam inventory is not saved as a successful snapshot. On GET /v1/inventory, validation/auth failures use HTTP 400/401/402/404/422/429; Steam outcomes private, notfound, limited and error are returned with HTTP 200 in response.status. The compatibility GET /steam/api/inventory maps them to 403/404/429/502 (empty to 410).

Rust items without a matched local price remain in items and are counted in unpriced; they are not removed from the result.

Cache and freshness semantics

How to tell whether data was reused, shared or refreshed.

Successful inventory snapshots use a 1,800-second default TTL. Negative defaults are 21,600 seconds for empty, 3,600 seconds for private and 600 seconds for not found.

For authenticated inventory responses that reach validation/result handling, read X-Wok-Cache-Age and X-Wok-Cache-TTL when present; authentication and quota errors may omit them.

Identical concurrent misses are coalesced. A waiter receives X-Wok-Singleflight: 1 and does not start another Steam inventory fetch.

Use refresh_prices=1 or POST /v1/inventory/refresh-prices only with an active compatible OK/EMPTY snapshot. Repricing never fetches Steam or resets inventory age/TTL; 404 inventory_cache_miss means run a normal inventory scan. refresh_prices=1 cannot be combined with no_cache=1; prices_updated_at identifies the repricing operation.

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers about access, freshness and result semantics.

Which game value selects Rust?

Use game=rust with GET /v1/inventory.

Are items without prices removed?

No. They remain in items and are counted in unpriced so the client can distinguish missing valuation from missing inventory data.
