Evaluation criteria
| Criterion | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Marketplace count | More markets = more arb and valuation coverage |
| Doppler / Gamma phases | Averaged Doppler prices break Ruby/Sapphire items |
| Buy orders | Bid side = realistic exit price (YouPin) |
| History depth | Backtests and charts need months of history, not days |
| Sales data | Listing arb ≠ completed-sale reality |
| Normalized schema | One integration vs 50 scrapers |
| Browser tools | Extension / comparison UI speeds manual trading |
| Rate limits & pricing | Production bots need predictable cost |

Per-market official APIs (Skinport, CSFloat, BUFF trading API) — Authoritative for one venue; you integrate N times for cross-market work.
