Steam-Trade-Forum-Link-Puller

I learned that the basic gist of what this C# program is doing is called web scraping. Using that term makes the use of the program a lot more clear. I created a video that goes along with this project. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdHRT8o0_b4

Place your HTML page of your badge pages (can input more than one page) and it will get your steam ID from the HTML, and all the steam IDs for the badges you have on your steam badge page (including steam badges and full sets). Then will check each one of the steam ID's trading forums for a post on the first page and check the blacklisted steam ID's(optional). The remaining steam ID games will be kept and it will pull up the trading forum pages from steam for each one of the steam IDs using your default browser.

PLEASE NOTE!! Takes about 55 seconds each steam badge page to run. (BECAUSE OF WEBCLIENT)

Developer note -This is the first C# project I've created, it's not much, but its gets the job done. I originally wanted to make a bot that would autopost, but Steam's security is too high(this is a good thing). I didn't want to deal with that, so this was the way around it.

Thank you for reading!
