# Steam Marketplace API
Access reliable and up-to-date **Steam Community Market data for Counter-Strike 2 (CS2)** through a simple REST API.
The API provides detailed item information, market prices, buy and sell order data, recent price statistics and market activity indicators. Items can be retrieved directly by their Steam `market_hash_name` or searched by name using partial matching.
## Key Features
* **CS2 Marketplace data** — currently supporting Steam App ID `730`
* **Item search** — search for items by name using partial matching
* **Exact item lookup** — retrieve an item using its Steam `market_hash_name`
* **Market prices** — latest price, recent minimum, maximum, median and safe price
* **Buy & sell data** — highest buy order, lowest sell order and market spread
* **Market indicators** — identify unstable markets and low-volume items
* **Cursor-based pagination** — efficiently browse large item collections
* **USD pricing** — prices are returned in USD by default
* **REST API** — simple JSON responses designed for easy integration
## Example Use Cases
The API can be used to build:
* CS2 price trackers
* Steam Market analytics tools
* Item price comparison websites
* Trading and market analysis applications
* Price alert systems
* CS2 item databases
* Market dashboards
* Bots and automated tools
* Websites and applications requiring Steam Market data
## Supported Application
Currently, the API supports:
**Counter-Strike 2 — Steam App ID `730`**
We are open to adding support for additional Steam Marketplace applications. If you need another Steam App ID, send us a request and we will consider adding it based on demand and feasibility.
## Currency
Market prices are returned in **USD by default**.
Price values are returned as strings with four decimal places to preserve precision, for example:
```json
{
"latest_price": "566.1100",
"highest_buy": "505.0000",
"lowest_sell": "586.5000"
}
```
## Simple Integration
The API is designed to be straightforward to integrate into any application or backend that can make HTTP requests.
For example:
```http
GET /items/★%20Talon%20Knife%20%7C%20Blue%20Steel%20%28Field-Tested%29
```
Returns detailed market information for the requested item in JSON format.
Whether you are building a small price tracker or a larger CS2 market analytics platform, the API provides the core marketplace data needed to build your application.
