The Team Fortress 2 web API calls allow you to retrieve information from the item system in Team Fortress 2. Each call requires a valid API Key to function. You can get your own API Key [http://www.steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey here].<br>
+
== Contributing ==
  
−
== Format differences ==
+
If you would like to help in writing API documentation there is a tool available [https://github.com/Lagg/steam-swissapiknife here] (requires python) that can generate skeleton documentation pages
 +
that match the style guidelines and can be easily copied and pasted.
  
−
Every method can return its results in 3 different formats: JSON, XML, and VDF. Each format represents the data described herein differently:
+
Otherwise be sure to follow the existing structure and format of the documentation to keep things consistent.
  
−
*'''JSON'''
+
== Common elements ==
−
** The API contains an object containing an object named "result".
 
−
** Arrays are represented as an array with the name of the type of the objects in the array (ie. an object named "items" containing an array of objects of type "item" would be represented as an object named "items" containing an array named "item" containing several objects following the "item" structure).
 
−
*'''XML'''
 
−
** XML Attributes are not used.
 
−
** Arrays are represented as a series of sub-elements in the containing element of the type of the array.
 
−
*'''VDF''' ''(Valve Data Format)''
 
−
** This is Valve's internal data format, seen in TF2's "scripts" folder (available in "team fortress 2 client content.gcf"). GetSchema returns data similar to "items/items_game.txt" (although qualities are not expanded into objects with a "value" field).
 
−
** It appears to be undocumented, but it works similarly to JSON's objects:
 
−
*** A member is represented by a quoted string, followed by a newline and an open brace.
 
−
*** A value is represented as a key-value pair of quoted strings on the same line separated by a tab character. Each sub-object is indented by one tab character.
 
−
** Arrays in the data are represented as a VDF array with the name of the type of the objects in the array, with a VDF array being an object with each item being prefixed with its numeric key as a quoted string.

== GetSchema (v0001) ==
+
=== Parameters ===
  
−
Example URL: http://api.steampowered.com/ITFItems_440/GetSchema/v0001/?key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
+
Most WebAPI methods take the following arguments in their URL:
  
−
=== Arguments ===
+
;key: Your Steam Web API key. Without this, the server will return an HTTP 403 (forbidden) error. A key can be generated [http://www.steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey here].
 +
;{{API optional|format}}: The file format to return output in.
 +
:;<code>json</code> (default): The [https://www.json.org/json-en.html JavaScript Object Notation] format
 +
:;<code>xml</code>: Standard XML
 +
:;<code>vdf</code>: [[WebAPI/VDF|Valve Data Format]]
 +
;{{API optional|language}}
 +
:The [[w:List of ISO 639-1 codes|ISO639-1 language code]] for the language all tokenized strings should be returned in. Not all strings have been translated to every language. If a language does not have a string, the English string will be returned instead.  If this parameter is omitted the string token will be returned for the strings.
  
−
None
+
=== Terminology ===
  
−
=== Return Value ===
+
A "tokenized string" refers to a string containing "<code>#</code>"-prefixed tokens that are replaced with the equivalent string in the game's VDF for the chosen language. For instance, "<code>TF_Weapon_Jar</code>" is defined as "<code>[[Jarate|Jar Based Karate]]</code>" in tf/resource/tf_english.txt (as found in "team fortress 2 content.gcf").

Contributing

If you would like to help in writing API documentation there is a tool available here (requires python) that can generate skeleton documentation pages that match the style guidelines and can be easily copied and pasted.

Otherwise be sure to follow the existing structure and format of the documentation to keep things consistent.

Common elements

Parameters

Most WebAPI methods take the following arguments in their URL:

key
Your Steam Web API key. Without this, the server will return an HTTP 403 (forbidden) error. A key can be generated here.
format (Optional)
The file format to return output in.
json (default)
The JavaScript Object Notation format
xml
Standard XML
vdf
Valve Data Format
language (Optional)
The ISO639-1 language code for the language all tokenized strings should be returned in. Not all strings have been translated to every language. If a language does not have a string, the English string will be returned instead. If this parameter is omitted the string token will be returned for the strings.

Terminology

A "tokenized string" refers to a string containing "#"-prefixed tokens that are replaced with the equivalent string in the game's VDF for the chosen language. For instance, "TF_Weapon_Jar" is defined as "Jar Based Karate" in tf/resource/tf_english.txt (as found in "team fortress 2 content.gcf").
