How to Get C5Game Gamma Doppler Prices

Updated

API reference: GET /v1/prices/latest

GET /v1/prices/latest returns separate C5Game quotes for Gamma Doppler Phase 1 through Phase 4 and Emerald. Each returned variant can include an ask, bid, active listing count, and source timestamps.

C5Game's ask and bid collection passes are independent. Phase 3 can have a current ask while its bid is absent, and an out-of-step pair can cross. Price each side according to the data actually returned.

C5Game Gamma Doppler coverage#

The base item has a variants object. Each entry includes:

  • display_name, such as Phase 2 or Emerald.
  • A stable version: p1, p2, p3, p4, or emerald.
  • The full variant name.
  • Sparse per-source objects, including c5game when that phase is covered.

The C5Game object contains ask, bid, ask_volume, updated_at, and collected_at. There is no C5Game bid_volume.

Current price collection refreshes every ~5-10 minutes, depending on the source. Prices are normalized to USD.

Use a valid phase quote#

Fetch the full current-price snapshot and locate the base Gamma Doppler using its exact market_hash_name. Select the phase by version and read its c5game object.

Use a positive ask as the current listing floor. Use a bid with that ask only when the bid is positive and no higher than the ask. If a source object or bid is absent, report that phase as uncovered on that side.

Keep Emerald under emerald; it should not inherit or enter an average of Phase 1 through Phase 4. The variant price data guide explains the same variant structure across sources.

Quote-quality boundaries#

  • A bid above the phase ask is an invalid combined quote, not an arbitrage opportunity. Preserve the ask and reject the bid for spread calculations.
  • ask_volume counts all active listings for the phase. It does not measure completed sales or top-level executable quantity.
  • collected_at is the freshness timestamp for cs2.sh collection, while updated_at is the marketplace's own update time.
  • Check C5Game Gamma Doppler history when a current bid gap or crossed pair could change a valuation.
