# How to Get Current YouPin Prices for CS2 Items

YouPin898 (悠尺898) is the largest CS2 marketplace by volume. International traders use it as the **global price reference** even when they sell on Skinport or SkinBaron. CSPriceAPI exposes YouPin listing prices **and** the buy-order book in CNY.

## Listing prices (asks)

```bash
curl -s "https://api.cspriceapi.com/v1/prices/latest?markets=youpin" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
```

Or the legacy per-market route (still supported):

```bash
curl -s "https://api.cspriceapi.com/v1/prices/youpin" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
```

## Buy orders (bids)

The buy-order book shows what buyers are willing to pay — critical for spread analysis and realistic exit pricing:

```bash
curl -s "https://api.cspriceapi.com/v1/prices/youpin/buyorder" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
```

## Doppler phases

YouPin lists Doppler and Gamma Doppler knives per phase. CSPriceAPI returns `doppler_phase` on each row — Phase 1–4, Ruby, Sapphire, Black Pearl, Emerald. A Karambit Ruby is priced separately from Phase 4; never merge them.
