Can't view trade history
I've had this issue for quite some time but it's only till recently that I've needed to go through my past history to find a trade that this has become a problem. Whenever I open my trade history, Steam would either give me two things. It would either tell me my trade history is unavailable or I would get a HTTP 500 error.

This happens on both the client and other browsers specifically on my account. I've tried opening my trade history page through other devices as well but they all give the same issue. I do have a very large trade history with thousands of items so I'd like to know if anyone has been able to work around this issue.

PS. Clearing web cache doesn't change anything.

because it displays the very same website.
the definition of insanity is to do the same thing and expect different results.

500 is a server error, so clearing you local cache will do nothing.

i assume the inventory history also fails.

check with web api
https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/webapi/IEconService#GetTradeHistory

if that also returns garbo then your account is f'd.
contact Steam support then.

and i recommend trades with a lower quantity of items.

Inventory history actually magically works. It didn't work the first few times but after refreshing the page I got it to show up.

And yes I know that clearing web cache doesn't do anything. I only stated it so I don't get that dumb suggestion from someone.

I've tried checking through the web API. It gave me a blank response so it's probably screwed up now. I guess I'll have to contact support like my other friends have that had faced similar issues. I've remembered them mentioning that support resets the trade history which defeats the purpose of me trying to view it because I'm trying to view a past trade in the first place.

Edit:Requested for it again and it loaded up this time. It's a wall of text and pretty hard to find what I'm looking for though.
