steam-reporter 1.0.0

A python tool for parsing and storing transaction information from steam market emails.

Creates a SQLite3 database of your steam market transactions through the parsing of steam emails.

Steam-reporter will work only for english users with a $ currency designator. It has been tested with North American (US) transaction emails.

Usage

It's as simple as

$ steam_reporter config.ini

Installation

Using pip

Currently steam-reporter must be installed with pip from a local directory. Clone the repository and run pip install path/to/repo

Create config file

You must create a config file with your specific email settings. You can copy the default config to your preferred location.

cp steam_reporter/config/config.ini /your/preferred/location/

Configuration

Threads

Threads = 5

Steam-reporter is multi-threaded to speed up the fetching of emails from email servers. Note that it will have little impact on the actuall parsing of emails, and multiple threads probably isn't needed if you are using local .eml files.

Emails_Per_Transaction

Emails_Per_Transaction = 1000

This limits the number of emails parsed before performing the transaction with the database. Note that each email can have multiple steam market confirmations, so the number of steam transactions added per each database transaction can be greater than the number set. This setting can be useful for low memory situations, or to provide more frequent status updates during processing.

Database

Database = /home/user/example/database.db

The location of the database. A new database will be created if one does not exist at the provided path.

Local_Folder

Local_Folder = /home/user/example/downloaded_emails/

This is an optional configuration to allow you to use local email files instead of fetching them from the server. If you do not want to use this option, leave it commented out.

# Local_Folder =

Address

Address = [e-mail]

The email address that your steam market confirmation emails are sent to.

Server

Server = imap.email.com

This is the server address for the provided email address.

Folder

Folder = Steam_Emails_Location

If you route your steam emails to a specific folder within your inbox, make sure to uncomment this line and add the name of the folder. If they are located in your main inbox, leave it commented out.
