Question 1

What currency are prices returned in?

Accepted Answer

All prices are returned in **USD** by default.

For example:

{
    "latest_price": "566.1100",
    "highest_buy": "505.0000",
    "lowest_sell": "586.5000"
}

The API currently uses USD as the default currency for market price data.

Question 2

Can I request prices in another currency?

Accepted Answer

Currently, market prices are provided in **USD**.

If you need support for another currency, let us know which currency you would like to use. We are open to adding additional currency support based on user demand.

Question 3

What games are currently supported?

Accepted Answer

Currently, the API supports **Counter-Strike 2 (CS2)** with Steam App ID **730**.

We are open to adding support for additional Steam games and applications. If you need another App ID, contact us with your request.

Question 4

Can you add support for another Steam game?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are open to expanding the API to other Steam Marketplace games.

If you would like support for another App ID, send us the **Steam App ID**, the game name, and, if possible, a short description of what data you need. We will consider the request based on demand and feasibility.

Question 5

Can I search for an item by name?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the `/items/search` endpoint with the `name` parameter.

Example:

GET /items/search?name=Fade

The search uses a partial `LIKE` match, so you do not need to provide the complete item name.

Question 6

Does the API support pagination?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The `/items` and `/items/search` endpoints use cursor-based pagination.

When more results are available, the API returns `morePages: true` together with a `nextPage` cursor that can be used to retrieve the next results.

Question 7

Does the API provide CS2 item prices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The API provides various market statistics, including:

- Latest price
- Highest buy order
- Lowest sell order
- Spread
- Recent minimum price
- Recent maximum price
- Recent median price
- Safe recent price
- Last recorded sale

Question 8

Are prices returned as numbers or strings?

Accepted Answer

Prices are returned as **strings with four decimal places** to preserve decimal precision.

Example:

{
    "latest_price": "566.1100",
    "highest_buy": "505.0000",
    "lowest_sell": "586.5000"
}

Question 9

What does "unstable" mean?

Accepted Answer

The `unstable` field indicates that the item's market data may be less reliable or representative due to current market conditions.

When `unstable` is `true`, the `unstable_reasons` field provides additional information about why the item is considered unstable.

Question 10

What does "LOW_VOLUME" mean?

Accepted Answer

`LOW_VOLUME` means that the item has relatively low trading activity.

Prices for low-volume items may be more volatile or less representative of the broader market.

Question 11

Can I use the API for my own application?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can integrate the API into your own application, website, backend service or other software, subject to the limits and terms of your selected JOJAPI plan.

Question 12

Can I use the API commercially?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Commercial use is supported, subject to the applicable JOJAPI plan and terms.

The API can be used for applications such as market trackers, price comparison tools, analytics platforms, trading tools, price alerts and Steam item databases.

Question 13

What happens if I need more requests?

Accepted Answer

You can upgrade to a plan with higher request limits.

If your application requires more traffic than the available plans provide, contact us to discuss your requirements.

Question 14

Can I request support for another App ID?

Accepted Answer

Yes. **CS2 (App ID 730)** is currently the only supported application, but we are open to adding additional Steam Marketplace applications.

Send us the App ID and application name you would like to see supported. User requests help us decide which applications to add next.

Question 15

What should I do if an item is missing?

Accepted Answer

If an expected item is missing, send us its Steam Market `market_hash_name`.

We can investigate whether the item is available in the underlying data and whether it should be added.

Question 16

How can I report an issue?

Accepted Answer

If you encounter incorrect data, an unavailable item, an API error or another issue, contact us through JOJAPI.

When reporting an issue, please provide the endpoint, request parameters, HTTP status code and response received whenever possible.

This helps us investigate the issue faster.

Question 17

Does the API provide historical price data?

Accepted Answer

The current API provides recent market statistics and the latest recorded sale information.

More extensive historical market data may be added in the future.

Question 18

How frequently is the market data updated?

Accepted Answer

Each item contains a `source_updated_at` timestamp indicating when its source data was last updated.

The exact update frequency can vary depending on the type of market data.

Question 19

What is "spread"?

Accepted Answer

`spread` is the difference between the lowest sell order and the highest buy order.
