The reply of this API is based upon this CSGO protobuf. I recommend looking at the Github in order to understand how some of these parameters work.

Errors

The API might be unstable at times, so it is important that you handle the errors correctly.

Error Codes

2	Invalid Inspect Link Structure
3	You may only have one pending request at a time
4	Valve's servers didn't reply in time

How to Run

In order to retrieve float values for weapons in this way, you must have Steam account(s) with a copy of CS:GO. Each account can request 1 float per second. CSGOFloat allows you to have as many bots as you'd like by inputting the login info into config.js.

Dependencies:

• node-csgo (v1.4 or higher)
• socket.io
• vdf
• long
• express
• mongodb

You can install the Node.js dependencies using npm install or yarn install

Steps:

1. Copy config.example.js to config.js
2. Add your bot(s) login information to config.js
3. Edit config.js with your desired settings
4. Ensure MongoDB is running
5. Run node index.js in the main directory
6. Navigate to the IP that the server is hosted on and query the API using the docs above!

If you have a config from v1.0, please update it to match the new parameters in v2.0+!

v2.1.0 removes the need for Redis

How to First Login a Bot

• Using Email 2FA
  • Only fill in the user and pass fields for the bot (make sure the auth field is empty or removed)
  • Start up CSGOFloat
  • It will tell you that an auth code was sent to your email
  • Input the code from your email into the auth field for the bot
  • Restart CSGOFloat
  • It should successfully login and create a {username}.sentry file in the sentry folder in the main directory
  • The auth field can now be removed in your login file for further logins
• Using Mobile 2FA
  • Fill in the user and pass fields for the bot
  • Fill in the auth field with the shared_secret for the bot
  • Start up CSGOFloat
  • It should successfully login and create a {username}.sentry file in the sentry folder in the main directory
  • You'll need to keep the auth field filled in for future logins
