Retrieve inventory

Retrieve an inventory with the public Inventory operation. The generated Inventory contract owns the exact method, path, parameters, schemas, and response codes.

Request inputs

• steam_id identifies the Steam account.
• app_id identifies the Steam application.
• context_id identifies the inventory context.

Public visibility is controlled by Steam. A valid request can still return a documented privacy outcome when the upstream inventory is private.

Reliability

Use a bounded timeout and retain X-Request-ID. Do not fan out unbounded concurrent requests for the same inventory.

Interpret the outcome

A successful empty inventory, a private inventory, and a transient upstream failure are different states. Use the documented status and error code before deciding whether to publish new data, preserve an older snapshot, ask the user to change privacy settings, or retry.

For inventories that span pages, continue with Pagination. For a complete application workflow, read Build an inventory integration.
