How to get previous owners of items? #203

I was wondering how to get the previous owners of any given item.

You can't do that with SteamBot, I think, without pulling data from some backpack viewer.

The idea is the "original_id" of the item never changes. If some service stores information about "owner"<->"original_id" in different moments of time you could possibly query such service. The list may be not full because services like backpack viewers get this info when the current owner login to the service. If the person get the item then trade it without logging to some service his ownership will never be recorded.

You would have to try to pull data from tf2items, but i've noticed some of the items i get aren't even in the database >.>
