I got hacked into after buying from scrap.tf and somehow all my items got turned to scrap and were traded away.

Are you sure it was a bot from here? Look at previous trade to see if there wasn't a canceled one followed by a similar one, could be an api scam

How would someone prevent and avoid an API scam? I hadn't heard of it before.

Basically, don't click on any suspicious links that someone might send you.

If it's a steamcommunity link/page then don't enter your login information, legit steam links/pages don't need to you to login again since you'd be already logged in Steam itself so any page asking you to "log in" is fake.

Basically for it to happen you gotta login on a a fake site pretending to be steam, how to prevent it? Never login through a link provided you by someone else, an useful trick is to have steam logged in browser most legit sites will just recognize it and show an option to log with one click skipping the need for your password, a fake site will not, because the password is exactly what it wants
