# C5Game price API for Counter-Strike 2

Full documentation for the C5Game price API for CS2: real-time ask/bid in USD, updated every ~5 minutes, Doppler variants priced individually, and 3+ years of C5Game price history.

The cs2.sh C5Game API returns real-time C5Game prices for every CS2 item: `ask`, `ask_volume`, and `bid` on `/v1/prices/latest`, collected every few minutes and normalized from CNY to USD. C5Game's own API is limited to Chinese accounts; outside China, cs2.sh is the practical way to read C5Game prices.

Doppler, Gamma Doppler, and Case Hardened are priced individually, refreshing every ~5 minutes.

`/v1/prices/history` returns continuously updating OHLC candles at `5m`/`30m`/`1h`/`1d` for every C5Game item. `/v1/archive/history` covers daily and hourly C5Game prices, item supply, and sale volume back to 2023.

Every response is JSON keyed by the canonical `market_hash_name`, with `updated_at` and `collected_at` timestamps on every price. GET returns the whole market in one call; POST returns specific items. The same key and schema cover BUFF, Youpin, CSFloat, Steam, and Skinport.

About C5Game: c5game.com is a peer-to-peer CS2 marketplace in China, pricing in Chinese yuan. Its free official API is limited to Chinese accounts, so C5Game data is effectively unavailable outside China.
