Python

Use Python 3 in your project's virtual environment. Install the Requests library:

python -m pip install requests

Set STEAMCALL_API_KEY to your Credential secret in the environment where Python runs. Save the following code as inventory.py, and replace the example Steam ID. Run python inventory.py in that environment.

This reads a saved Current revision. If none exists, complete a Refresh first. A returned page costs one credit; the parsed response is stored in data.

import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://api.steamcall.com/v2/steam/users/76561198000000000/inventory/440/2/current",
    params={"language": "english"},
    headers={"X-API-Key": os.environ["STEAMCALL_API_KEY"]},
    timeout=(3, 15),
)
response.raise_for_status()
data = response.json()

Add retries only for the transient conditions described in Retries & timeouts.

Before calling raise_for_status, capture response.headers.get("X-Request-ID") with status and operation in a safe diagnostic record. Parse documented error envelopes separately from transport exceptions so validation and authentication failures are not retried.

For production, reuse a configured requests.Session, cap connection-pool concurrency, and mount a reviewed retry adapter only if it respects the total workflow deadline. Never enable debug logging that prints X-API-Key.

This example reads stored Current state. See Build an inventory integration for complete Refresh → Status → Current code.
