Market Hash Name

The canonical Steam identifier for any CS2 item. Used by every marketplace and API to look up the exact skin variant.

What is a market hash name?

The market hash name is the full canonical string Steam uses to identify a CS2 item, including the prefix (StatTrak, Souvenir, or star), the weapon, the finish, and the wear in parentheses. Example: "StatTrak™ AK-47 | Redline (Field-Tested)".

Why market hash names matter for APIs

Every CS2 price API, including Skinstrack, uses market hash names to look up items. Slugs (URL-friendly versions) and market hash names map 1:1, so understanding the format is essential when integrating any CS2 marketplace data into your own application.
