Well, this site API is ridiculous, they use JSON but let's get an example:

When an user is banned this ' "backpack_tf_banned": null ' is added in the
JSON, they better way would be that this entry was there all the time, and
set true or false for it. Same goes for ' "steamrep_scammer": true ', it's
only there when the user is indeed a scammer, but now the value is true and
not null as in the other entry.

That's why I need the try-expect, and I need it here:

with response.json()['response']['players'][steamID64] as api:
status['backpack_value'] = api['backpack_value'][GAME_ID]
status['steamrep_scammer'] = bool(api['steamrep_scammer'])

return status

The part of the code you posted the try-expect is needed because I don't
know if they have all Steam users in their DB, so the request.get() could
broke.
