Backpack.Tf Api is a project that provides wrapper models and utility classes for easier management of the backpack.tf API endpoints. Built with the mindset of being useful for all sorts of applications, it lives to serve the following goals:
- Be easy to use and understand.
- Be well documented.
- Unify all API endpoints and provide easy to use handlers.
- Support serialization and deserialization.
- Internally handle all API calls, but also expose functionality for custom implementations.
- Offer ways of working with the various JSON response objects and transform them into .NET types.

Open your package manager console and run:
Install-Package BackpackTfApi -Version 1.0.3
- Instantiate the main user model:
var bptfUser = new BackpackTfUser("mySteamId64", "myBackpackTfApiKey", "myBackpackTfAccessToken");
var myOpenClassifieds = bptfUser.GetOwnClassifieds();
// The returned Response object will contain all items in your inventory.
var myInventory = bptfUser.GetOwnInventory();
- Get an item from your inventory:
// The returned InventoryItem object contains the item's Asset and Description models.
var targetItem = bptfUser.GetItemFromInventory("Madame Dixie");
- Create a new sell classified by typing the item manually:
NOTE: You must have the item in your inventory or else ItemNotFoundException is thrown.
// The returned Response object will contain information on whether the classified was successfully created or not.
var responseSellListing = bptfUser.CreateSellListing("Madame Dixie", "metal", 5, "I want to sell this item! :)");
- Overloads for CreateBuyListing and CreateSellListing are supported where you pass in an InventoryItem:
var responseBuyListing = bptfUser.CreateBuyListing(targetItem, "metal", 5, "I want to buy this item! :)");
