is there a reason you need an APIKEY? normal steam users dont need one.

do you want me to post the HOW TO SECURE YOUR ACCOUNT and the Scam policy now or wait till later when you realize you messed up?

all 3rd party sites are USE AT OWN RISK, you get scammed, you dont get your stuff back..steam only returns the account, any bans earned may be permanent regardless of who was in control of the account

An "API key" gives third parties access to your account. Not complete access, but bad enough -- it's supposed to be kept secret.

So yes, I agreee with @Wolf-Knight -- we'll be seeing you in a bit, in your own "I was hacked! How do I get my stuff back?" thread...

I feel like crying every time I think about how may times I have posted it, and then think about how many times others have posted their versions.... its just depressing at times.

time to blow stuff up to feel better...

Just do yourself a favour and only trade skins on steam. Don't use 3rd party websites.

Can be used to manipulate trades. Often used to cancel a trade and then send another to another account that the hijackers BOT is made to impersonate. That happens within a few seconds so the user doesn't realise and then blindly ignore the warnings and confirm it. Thus losing their items.

Treat your API key as Key. That is, if someone else have it, they have access to to your home. Its in the word "key".

which access does the api key grant and how does the api which you will point to work.
