My first time working with npn/api. I follow instructions listed here https://github.com/gameflip/gfapi
and i am tuck at installing.
After typing npm install it shows

C:\Users\filli\Desktop\gfapi-master>npm install

dtrace-provider@0.8.6 install C:\Users\filli\Desktop\gfapi-master\node_modules\dtrace-provider
node-gyp rebuild || node suppress-error.js

According to the error message, you need to install Python (2.7) and maybe also set its PATH so the program knows where to find it.

For example, install Python to
C:\Python
then on the command line enter:
set PYTHON=C:\Python\bin\Python.exe
(or wherever that file is)

Then try the npm install command again. And npm run-script docs should work after that.

ok i will try

4

ok i installed python but still doesn’t work

You didn’t do anything wrong. The problem is at npm run-script docs, which runs the command:

jsdoc -c jsdoc_conf.js -d docs -P package.json index.js; docco -o docs/samples src/samples/.js src/samples/.rb

The semicolon “;” is used to separate commands in UNIX, but when you run it on Windows it’s interpreted as a separation of parameters. To fix this, open the gfapi-master\package.json file with a text editor and change the semicolon to " &". Additionally, you have to change the “/” to “\” because on Windows a path is like “C:\Program Files\Stuff” while on UNIX it’s “/Applications/Stuff”. Finally, save the file then run npm run-script docs again.

The result (line 24) in that package.json file would be:

"docs": "jsdoc -c jsdoc_conf.js -d docs -P package.json index.js & docco -o docs\samples src\samples\*.js src\samples\*.rb"

Please reply with the error printout again if that does not work.

i changed and now i see another error

Sorry, I forgot to escape the backslashes because it’s JSON format, it should be “\\” instead of “\”. So line 24 should be:

"docs": "jsdoc -c jsdoc_conf.js -d docs -P package.json index.js & docco -o docs\\samples src\\samples\\*.js src\\samples\\*.rb"

On Step 4 “Run Sample Code”, the Windows equivalent should be:
SET GFAPI_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
SET GFAPI_SECRET=YOUR_API_SECRET_HERE
node src\samples\FILENAME_OF_SAMPLE_CODE_HERE.js

So if you want to run the search listings example, enter the two “SET” lines to store your credentials, then:
node src\samples\search_listing.js
to run that file (which you can edit).

Thank you for help i will try this solution tomorrow.

i changed *.js to authorization.js and node src\samples\search_listing.js works Thanks for help galacticarm

One more problem with listings. I run sample code rl_listing.js it creates listing but without type: Key. I added

tags: ‘Type: Key’

that listing creatred by api looks the same as created manually but site’s filter doesn’t include listing’s tag created by api.
10$ listing is created manually 100.50$ using api when i filter by type: key site doesn’t show listings created by api. 2018-04-25_20h09_33
2018-04-25_20h00_142018-04-25_20h00_352018-04-25_20h00_44

12

If you want to add tags, they have to be strings in an array, examples:

tags: ['id: key', 'type: Key'],

tags: ['id: pearlescent_matte', 'type: Paint finish'],

tags: ['id: jager_619_rs', 'type: Body', 'certification: Show Off'],

The tags are for users to search for your listing when they use the dropdown filters.

Hey one more problem typing

GET /api/v1/account/me/profile HTTP/1.1
Host: production-gameflip.fingershock.com
Authorization: GFAPI 8d6(…):5o0(…)

and i am getlling this

{
“status”: “FAILURE”,
“data”: null,
“error”: {
“message”: “Unauthorized”,
“code”: 401
}
}

15

Never mind. I found bug in sample code. In index.js in line 325 it should be additional field with display order because without it photo is set only as cover photo and it looks like

2018-05-01_18h55_22
2018-05-01_18h55_22947×869 28.1 KB

additional field

{
op: CONST.LISTING.OPS.REPLACE,
path: ‘/photo/’ + photo_obj.id + ‘/display_order’,
Value: 1
}

now

2018-05-01_18h58_32

For the profile, save this snippet as a file into: gfapi/src/samples/get_profile.js then run the file the same way you did the others.

'use strict';

const GFAPI_KEY = process.env.GFAPI_KEY;
const GFAPI_SECRET = process.env.GFAPI_SECRET;
const GfApi = require('../../index'); // require('gfapi')

async function main() {
    const gfapi = new GfApi(GFAPI_KEY, {
        secret: GFAPI_SECRET,
        algorithm: "SHA1",
        digits: 6,
        period: 30
    }, {
        logLevel: 'debug'
    });

    let profile = await gfapi.profile_get();
    console.log(profile);
}

main().catch(err => {
    console.log('==== ERROR', err);
});

The display_order operation is indeed required (and missing), so please do use that to create your listing.

@Galaktik
I only fail on the last part, please help me if I enter (npm install 'gameflip/gfapi)
then I get this error:

Hey,

Try only the clean command npm install

Type it without the folder path gameflip/gfapi

Make sure you are executing it within the Api folder though.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Thanks!

19

I got the api up and running and have already created my first listings.
how can I delete the listings with the api?

20

API does not have the delete option.

21

I’m a total beginner and have tried to follow the steps from this thread as good as possible but currently get stuck at running the sample codes.

The other problems from the steps beforehand seems to be resolved but whenever I try to run the rl_listing.js sample code it now throws the following at me at the end.
