Question 1

How do I get Steam prices via API?

Accepted Answer

Call our unified endpoint GET https://api.skinstrack.com/v2/paid/items?providers=steam with an X-API-KEY header. The response is JSON and includes the lowest price, listing count, and a fresh timestamp for every Steam listing we track. The same endpoint also returns Steam Community Market, CSFloat, Buff163, Skinport, DMarket, and 28+ other marketplaces if you add them to the providers parameter. Sign up on /api-pricing to receive your API key.

Question 2

Does Skinstrack only support Steam?

Accepted Answer

No. Skinstrack is a multi-marketplace CS2 price API that covers 34+ providers - Steam is just one of them. The same /paid/items and /paid/stickers endpoints return normalized prices from Steam Community Market, CSFloat, Buff163, Skinport, DMarket, BitSkins, Skinbaron, Tradeit.gg, GamerPay, and many more, all in a single schema. You can query one provider, a custom basket, or every marketplace at once by changing the providers parameter.

Question 3

How do I get Steam sticker prices?

Accepted Answer

Stickers are exposed on a dedicated endpoint: GET https://api.skinstrack.com/v2/paid/stickers?providers=steam. The response shape mirrors /paid/items so the same client code works for both, and we currently track 10,236 Steam stickers. You can also combine providers, e.g. providers=steam,steam,csfloat, to compare sticker prices across multiple marketplaces in one call.

Question 4

How often are Steam prices refreshed?

Accepted Answer

Skinstrack re-fetches Steam listings every 15 minutes - both skins and stickers. Each item in the response carries an updated_at timestamp so you always know how fresh the data is.

Question 5

How many Steam items do you track?

Accepted Answer

We currently index 14,760 Steam skins and 10,236 stickers, including knives, gloves, and rare collection items. Coverage grows automatically as new Steam listings appear. Steam is one of 34+ CS2 marketplaces covered by the same API.

Question 6

Is the Steam API free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Free plan includes 50 Steam Community Market requests so you can prototype against Steam data at no cost. Paid plans unlock the remaining 33+ marketplaces (CSFloat, Buff163, Skinport, DMarket, and more), higher rate limits, more inventory slots, and priority support. See full pricing at /api-pricing.

Question 7

Why use Skinstrack instead of scraping Steam directly?

Accepted Answer

Steam does not publish an official public price API and scraping their site risks rate limits, IP bans, and brittle parsers. Skinstrack normalizes Steam prices alongside 33+ other marketplaces (Steam, CSFloat, Buff163, Skinport, DMarket, BitSkins, and more) in one schema, handles refresh and retries, and exposes everything as clean REST/JSON. One API key replaces 34+ separate scrapers.

Question 8

Can I compare Steam prices to other marketplaces?

Accepted Answer

Yes - this is the core use case Skinstrack is built for. Pass multiple providers in a single call, e.g. providers=steam,csfloat,steam,buff163,skinport, to receive normalized prices for the same market_hash_name across every platform in one response. The same works on /paid/stickers. Ideal for cross-marketplace arbitrage bots, inventory valuation, and price comparison UIs.

Question 9

Do you provide historical Steam prices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The /paid/items and /paid/stickers endpoints both accept optional avg=true and median=true flags that return 7d, 14d, 30d, 60d, and 90d averages and medians per item, for Steam and every other supported marketplace.
