Bot for arbitraging TF2 items on different sites for profit.
This bot will find deals, request trades and notify [tf2-express](https://github.com/offish/tf2-express) to accept.

## How does it work?
- Using a Firefox profile, login to the sites listed below
- Will check MongoDB for saved cookies
- If outdated, get new cookies using `Selenium`
- Save cookies, such that `requests` can imitate a legitimate internal API request
- Fetches prices from Prices.tf as a comparison basis
- Fetches prices from STN, taking stock into consideration
- Fetches prices from Quicksell.store
- Fetches prices from Sfuminator
- Compares prices between sites, and finds deals
- If a Prices.tf price is included in a deal, check Backpack.TF for buyers/sellers with a matching price
- If buyer/seller is from Backpack.TF, get their Trade URL
- Save up to 3 pages of classifieds for Trade URLs, so they can be used later (can skip fetching)
- Send deals using a TCP socket so `tf2-express` can act on the trades
- When `tf2-express` has accepted a "buy deal" trade offer, send the "sell deal" request to one of the trading sites (different for Backpack.TF)
- Repeat step 6-16 (fetching Prices.tf is uneccessary when we are connected to the websocket)
## Supported sites
- Backpack.TF
- STNTrading.eu
- Quicksell.store
- Sfuminator.tf
Scrap.TF is not supported, due to their ToS.
## Installation
- Clone the repo and install the packages `pip install -r requirements.txt`
- The bot uses MongoDB, so `pymongo` needs to work
- Install `geckodriver`
## Setup
- Have a `tf2-express` bot setup and ready to go
- If `geckodriver` is not added to PATH, this needs to be specified in `GECKODRIVER_EXECUTABLE_PATH` in the [config](/tf2_arbitrage/config.py). If it is in PATH, do not change this value
- Create a new Firefox profile and login to all the sites listed above (STN is not neccessary). Copy the `Root Directory` of this Firefox profile. This is your `FIREFOX_PROFILE_PATH` in the [config](/tf2_arbitrage/config.py)
- Register a STN API key at https://stntrading.eu/dev/apikey
- Make sure you have credits for your API calls. This can be increased at https://stntrading.eu/dev/credits
## Configuration
- Specify `STEAM_ID` in the [config](/tf2_arbitrage/config.py), this has to match the SteamID64 for the owner of the STN API key
- Other optional modifications to the [config](/tf2_arbitrage/config.py)
## Running
- Start `tf2-arbitrage` by running `python main.py`
- Start a `tf2-express` instance
