# Price history API for Counter-Strike 2

CS2 price history across BUFF, Youpin, CSFloat, Skinport, Steam, and C5Game: OHLC candles at 5m to 1d, archive prices and supply since 2023, and Steam sale history daily since 2013.

cs2.sh provides three types of CS2 price history: high-frequency OHLC candles, long-term archive data, and marketplace sale histories. Every series covers every item, is keyed by `market_hash_name`, and is priced in USD.

`/v1/prices/history` aggregates snapshot prices into continuously updating OHLC candles at `5m`/`30m`/`1h`/`1d` intervals for BUFF, Youpin, CSFloat, Skinport, Steam, and C5Game. `/v1/archive/history` provides daily and hourly bid/ask prices, item supply, and approximate sale volume going back to 2023.

The sale archives go back further: `/v1/archive/steam` provides Steam's native median sale price and volume daily since April 26, 2013, `/v1/archive/csfloat` provides daily CSFloat sale price and volume going back to 2022, `/v1/archive/buff` provides BUFF sale prices and daily total supply since September 6, 2024, and `/v1/archive/youpin` provides Youpin sale prices at `1h`/`4h`/`12h` intervals. `/v1/market/buff/history` and `/v1/market/steam/history` record BUFF float and fade ranges and full-depth Steam orderbook snapshots over time.

## common questions

Up to 13 years. Steam Community Market sale history goes back to April 26, 2013, CSFloat sale history goes back to 2022, BUFF sale history goes back to September 6, 2024, archive bid/ask prices, item supply, and sale volume go back to 2023, and high-frequency OHLC candles go back to December 24, 2025.

### What types of sale history does cs2.sh collect?

Four marketplace sale archives: `/v1/archive/steam` provides Steam's native median sale price and volume, `/v1/archive/csfloat` provides daily CSFloat sale prices and volume, `/v1/archive/buff` provides BUFF sale prices and daily total supply, and `/v1/archive/youpin` provides Youpin sale prices at `1h`/`4h`/`12h` intervals - real sales, not listings. `/v1/archive/history` also includes approximate sale volume going back to 2023.

### Does cs2.sh have Steam Community Market price history?

Yes. `/v1/archive/steam` provides Steam's native median sale price and volume, daily since April 26, 2013 and hourly since May 9, 2026. `/v1/market/steam/history` provides full-depth Steam orderbook snapshots, and `/v1/prices/history` provides OHLC candles for Steam listing prices.

### Can I try CS2 price history for free?

Yes. The live demo runs the real API with no key or signup, including price history going back to 2013 on a curated set of items. Full access to the history endpoints comes with the Scale plan.

### Where does the price history come from?

cs2.sh collects prices directly from every marketplace every few minutes and builds its own candles and archives from that. The deeper Steam and CSFloat series come from each marketplace's own sale records. Everything is normalized to USD and keyed by `market_hash_name`.
