How to Get C5Game Doppler Prices by Phase

Updated

API reference: GET /v1/prices/latest

GET /v1/prices/latest exposes current C5Game asks, bids, and active listing counts for Doppler Phase 1 through Phase 4, Ruby, Sapphire, and Black Pearl under the base item's variants object.

C5Game asks and bids come from independent collection passes. A phase can have an ask with no bid, and a mismatched pair can show a bid above the ask. The phase ask remains useful, but the crossed pair is not a valid spread.

Current C5Game Doppler fields#

Each variant has display_name, a full name, and a stable version code. Use p1 through p4, ruby, sapphire, and blackpearl to keep phase identity consistent.

The C5Game source object can contain:

Field Meaning
ask Lowest active C5Game listing in USD
bid Highest collected C5Game buy order
ask_volume Active listing count
updated_at C5Game's source update time
collected_at When cs2.sh fetched the source data

C5Game does not provide bid_volume. A valid bid therefore has no public buy-order count in this response.

Select and screen a phase quote#

Fetch the full current-price snapshot, select the base Doppler by exact market_hash_name, and locate the required variant by version. Variant source objects are sparse, so a C5Game object appears only when C5Game has variant data for that phase.

Use the ask when it is positive. Use the bid in a combined quote only when it is positive and no higher than the ask. If the bid is missing or crossed, preserve the ask and mark the bid side unavailable.

Current marketplace prices refresh every ~5-10 minutes, depending on the source. Read collected_at before using the result in an alert or a cross-marketplace comparison.

C5Game phase limits#

  • A missing phase-specific bid cannot be replaced by the parent Doppler bid or another phase's bid. Those are different markets.
  • Do not repair a crossed pair by swapping fields, clipping the bid, or taking an absolute spread. Keep the independent ask and reject the combined quote.
  • ask_volume counts the phase's active listings. It does not count completed sales or state how many units sit at the lowest ask.
  • Use C5Game Doppler price history to inspect whether phase coverage and bid quality persist through time.
