DEALS Section:
http://www.sgtools.info/store/271500/amazon is not a Steam game when bought from Amazon. :P
I'm guessing http://www.sgtools.info/store/9960/amazon isn't either, the page says DRM: NONE

So, them Deals :P
http://www.sgtools.info/store/252170/gg is bundled, it's been $0 CV for two years
http://www.sgtools.info/store/81971/steam seems confused, the game itself is bundled
http://www.sgtools.info/store/215630/amazon Amazon is crazy, this is $14.99 full price on Steam

First two are not tagged as bundled, because those steam app ids are not in the bundled list :\ They end up redirecting to other steam app ids that are indeed bundled, but that's not something I can check for every app id unfortunately (too many queries).
The last one... Amazon doing crazy stuff 🤣

Maybe cache a list of App ID redirects one a week or something?
http://www.sgtools.info/store/224280/steam Lite is the free version, but it shares a page with the full?
Did you add Kinguin today? A bunch have weird base prices. What if you use Steam list price to calculate discount?
http://www.sgtools.info/store/209160/kinguin is calculating discount based on $88.88 retail. There are a bunch like that.
http://www.sgtools.info/store/504370/kinguin this game released F2P today, so I dunno if these are beta keys or what
http://www.sgtools.info/store/72850/kinguin shows up three times on Page 3 for me

There is no direct way to see the redirects on Steam api itself afaik. Steamdb uses steam updates to retrieve that information and they don't offer a public api. Apart from that they explicitly forbid the scrapping of their website.
That means that the only feasible way to determine that is to requests every appid and see where it does redirect to. That is way too many queries to do, and it has problems depending on country restrictions and specific packages.
Kinguin has always been there as a deal provider, the problem is that they don't offer a datafeed to read the deals from, so scrapping in needed to get them. Since they change their deals url several times a week, it's a hit or miss if we can actually parse them or not.
The idea to ignore Kinguin base price and use steam one is interesting, but this leads to having to update app prices for every steam app :\ I'll think about it.

http://www.sgtools.info/store/217100/amazon base price is $4.99 on Steam
http://www.sgtools.info/store/295250/amazon base price is $0.99 on Steam
http://www.sgtools.info/store/303410/amazon base price is $1.99 on Steam
http://www.sgtools.info/store/27330/amazon base price is $0.99 on Steam
http://www.sgtools.info/store/347040/amazon base price is $9.99 on Steam
http://www.sgtools.info/store/297450/amazon base price is $4.99 on Steam
I'm gonna stop, you get the idea, many Amazon list prices contain typos and outdated information.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, I do get the idea that both Kinguin and Amazon tend to inflate their pricing to make "bigger discounts".
I'll think about how can I update app prices without causing too much trouble for the rest of the api calls needed to normally operate the site.

These Amazon versions don't appear to be Steam redeemable.

Hey Knsys, do you please have updated SGTools stats?
Comment has been collapsed.
The old version has also been banned from the API, I just noticed it showing as a false positive on some users' profiles.

"Blood of Old - The Rise to Greatness" has a different ID in relation to "Blood of Old (OLD VERSION)", neither have Steam Store page anymore. I own both and I'm having this issue with unactivated game. :(

Yesterday I noticed my games count didn't increase after activating a key, so I did some research and found another removed game, Frontline Tactics.
It's likely causing false positives since the complete pack has been in a bundle just a few months ago.

Thanks for your great work with sgtools, an idea came to my mind and I want to ask if it would be possible to add some custom rules to check for users that created private groups with other 5 people to farm CV, you know private groups with 5 or 6 friends that buy games in group and create GAs of X copies of a game and having only X entries and so evectively farming free CV.
I would like to be able to filter this people from future GAs.
I think that a precomputed value for entries/copies and entries-copies for every group GA would be needed to be able to get the final filters like MIN(entries/copies) or MIN(entries-copies).
Thank you

That kind of behavior is punished with a permanent suspension in Steamgifts, so rather than trying to avoid them through filters we all should report them instead. That way those users get out of the system completely.
Apart from the fact that it's better to report them in this case, is not that easy to really find those kind of users without a lot of false positives (see private groups with low number of members but are completely legit).

Another ban wave :/

Thanks. I was wondering why I was suddenly showing as having unactivated wins.

Heyo, anyone knows what's up with that?
Something wrong happened, please try again
Am I the only one dealing with this error message?
It shows up when checking requirements for a SGTools giveaway. I just noticed while updating the Positive Thread and at first I thought it was a badly configured rule or something - however, other giveaways do the exact same thing.
Comment has been collapsed.
I get the same thing. I then checked for CV value and it said I've neither won or given away any gifts.
Comment has been collapsed.
Also have error - can't create giveaway
I created invite-only, row giveaway and when i put a link http://www.sgtools.info/giveaways/manage i see error message
Error: [https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/linkwashere] Giveaway is not private
Comment has been collapsed.
The unactivated wins checker has been quite spotty since yesterday, reporting on most users the usual "has a private profile or SteamCommunity is down" error.
Also, I can't seem to be able to login anymore, as according to the site, I'm not a Steam Gifts user (tried on Firefox 56 and Chrome 62).

Well, seems like new antibot feature hit SGTools harder than I thought...

Oooohhh... Maybe cg can create whitelist for allowed IPs

How long until the temporary suspension is lifted?
From the first post about problems I'm guessing about 2-3 hours are left, but just asking to be sure.
Comment has been collapsed.
Cant check requirements, getting 500
Cant login from a new browser, getting "not a sg user"
Thanks for your hard work & effort :)
