So I have written a short script in python that retrieves an item's market history from steam, and I get a response containing the json data. However, I am having some trouble understanding it. For example, one of the pieces of data I receive is ["Sep 26 2014 01: +0",36.548,"12"]. I originally thought that the "01" might represent the hour, but in the file, there are multiple elements with the same first part of "Sep 26 2014 01: +0". I am also confused as to the meaning of the "12" after. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Welcome to SO. Please add your code to the question to help with an answer. – Shaun Dec 08 '15 at 00:02
  • @Shaun I probably should've avoided tagging this as python. I'm not having any code errors, I just can't seem to make sense of part of this log message, which is the same as what I get when I retrieve the JSON object in the web browser, so I know it's not a code error. – Kyle Sandell Dec 08 '15 at 02:12

I found the answer. The "01" represents the time in UTC, and the "12" represents the volume sold in the hour at that value.

  • Where did you find that? Is there an API document? – Marcel Wilson Dec 08 '15 at 23:43
  • @MarcelWilson I took a piece of recent data, and then went to the actual market and compared it to the graph, and found what matched. I also had to look up the current UTC to get the time. – Kyle Sandell Dec 11 '15 at 05:36
