## FAQ

### What is CSPriceAPI?

CSPriceAPI is a REST API for Counter-Strike 2 skin prices: live listing prices from 13 marketplaces, including BUFF163 and YouPin, for 50,000+ items, refreshed about every 5 minutes. It adds YouPin buy orders, per-phase Doppler prices and more than a year of price history. Plans start at $50/month, and the same data powers free web tools like the Market Hub and Price Comparison.

### Where do the prices and data come from?

Our data comes from various third‑party marketplaces such as YouPin, BUFF, SkinBaron, Skinport, MarketCSGO and others. We crawl and normalize this information so you can compare markets side by side in a consistent format.

### Is CSPriceAPI free to use?

Many web features are free to use. API access is part of the paid plans (Trader Basic, Pro and Enterprise); the pricing page shows what each plan includes. A free 2-day test key can be created instantly in the #get-testkey channel on the Discord: it covers every endpoint except price history, with sales data limited to the last 24 hours.

### Do you provide an API for accessing the data?

Yes. CSPriceAPI exposes a public REST API with clean JSON responses so you can access prices, historical series, float‑range data and more programmatically. API documentation and key management are available in the Docs and Dashboard sections.

### Which marketplaces are covered?

Listing prices for 13 marketplaces: YouPin898, BUFF163, C5Game, EcoSteam, SkinBaron, Skinport, Market.CSGO, CSFloat, LIS-SKINS, DMarket, ShadowPay, Waxpeer and Steam (Steam via its own endpoint with the order book). Price history covers every listing market except Steam, plus Skinland; sales data covers YouPin, CSFloat and Skinport.

### How do I authenticate?

Send your API key in the x-api-key header with every request. Every plan allows 10 requests per second, with no monthly cap.

### Do you support Doppler prices and pattern‑sensitive skins?

Yes. We provide dedicated data for Doppler finishes and other pattern‑sensitive items, including per‑phase and pattern information where available. In the Database you can analyse individual sales with float, pattern seed and price to better evaluate rare Dopplers and other high‑tier skins.

### Do you have float‑range data for YouPin and BUFF163?

Yes. For YouPin and BUFF163 we expose listing prices and buy orders per float range (for example 0.00–0.01), and on BUFF163 also per Fade %, Doppler phase and pattern tier. This is especially useful for collectors looking for ultra‑low float items.
