Phishing. The term you're looking for is "phishing". That "API scam" is an oversimplification that doesn't tell the whole story.

Anyway, your stuff is gone. Forever. Your best bet right now is to take this as a learning experience. You need two things. First is common sense, the second is awareness of phishing as phishing is the usual way how they get into your account.
so there is no chance to get the item back with the new update for 7 days trade ban?

That was AFTER they got into your account. Because once they're in, they can rewrite trades.

Before that, they got into your account. That's when your main mistake happened. As I said, this was most likely phishing so educate yourself on phishing.
if someone need help
