TypeScript

Run this example in a server-side Node.js TypeScript project with built-in fetch and AbortSignal.timeout support. It does not require a SteamCall SDK. Set STEAMCALL_API_KEY to your Credential secret in your server environment; never put it in a browser-exposed environment variable.

Replace the example Steam ID with the inventory you need. Current reads a saved revision; if none exists, complete a Refresh first. A returned page costs one credit.

const apiKey = process.env.STEAMCALL_API_KEY;
if (!apiKey)
  throw new Error("Set STEAMCALL_API_KEY before running this example");

const url = new URL(
  "https://api.steamcall.com/v2/steam/users/76561198000000000/inventory/440/2/current",
);
url.searchParams.set("language", "english");

const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: { "X-API-Key": apiKey },
  signal: AbortSignal.timeout(15_000),
});
if (!response.ok)
  throw new Error(`SteamCall request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();

Run this code server-side so the key never enters the browser bundle.

Read response.headers.get("x-request-id") before handling the body, and parse the documented error envelope when response.ok is false. Avoid placing full response bodies in thrown error messages or observability breadcrumbs.

AbortSignal.timeout bounds one request. A retrying caller still needs one overall deadline and a maximum attempt count. Keep this module out of client components, service workers, and code that can be bundled for a browser.

This example reads stored Current state. See Build an inventory integration for a complete server-side synchronization flow.
