How to Get C5Game Listing Volume History

cs2.sh records C5Game ask_volume, the active listing count observed for an item. Continuous OHLC covers December 24, 2025 onward, and archive history extends the C5Game series back to 2023.

Listing volume describes visible sell-side inventory. A decrease can result from sales, cancellations, repricing, or source-coverage changes, so it cannot be converted directly into completed-sale volume.

Two C5Game listing-count series#

POST /v1/prices/history returns the last ask_volume observed inside each 5m, 30m, 1h, or 1d OHLC bucket. The same C5Game object includes ask and bid OHLC, sample_count, open_time, and close_time.

POST /v1/archive/history returns last-observed C5Game ask_volume beside its ask and bid for 1h or 1d buckets from 2023. The C5Game object's time is the actual observation timestamp inside the aligned archive bucket.

C5Game does not expose bid_volume. Neither endpoint can show the historical number of active C5Game buy orders.

Request and compare listing counts#

For recent high-frequency changes, request the exact market_hash_name, filter to source c5game, and choose an OHLC interval. For a multi-year view, request the same item from the archive with source c5game.

Keep the associated ask with each ask_volume value. This distinguishes a listing-count change during a stable price from one accompanied by a large move in the floor. Also retain the source timestamp and observation count when available.

When calculating a difference, compare consecutive returned observations. If a bucket is missing, record the longer time gap instead of presenting the next change as one normal interval.

The archive reference documents last-observed fields. Use C5Game price history for the ask and bid quality rules that apply beside this volume series.

Applicable endpoints#

What the series cannot establish#

• A listing decrease is not a purchase count. Sellers can cancel or reprice inventory without a completed sale.
• A crossed C5Game bid does not invalidate an independently useful ask and ask_volume, but the bid should be excluded from combined quote analysis.
• sample_count measures source observations, not listings or sales.
• There is no C5Game buy-order-volume series. Substituting another source's bid_volume would mix different marketplaces.
