How to Get Current C5Game Prices

Updated

API reference: GET /v1/prices/latest · POST /v1/prices/history

GET /v1/prices/latest returns current C5Game asks, bids, active listing counts, and source timestamps for every tracked CS2 item, normalized to USD.

C5Game asks and bids come from independent collection passes. A bid above the ask indicates that the pair should not be combined, even when each side may be useful on its own.

Current C5Game coverage#

The c5game source object contains:

Field Meaning
ask Lowest active C5Game listing
bid Highest collected C5Game buy order
ask_volume Number of active listings
updated_at C5Game's source update time
collected_at When cs2.sh fetched the data

C5Game has no bid_volume. Current prices refresh every ~5-10 minutes, depending on the source.

Supported Doppler, Gamma Doppler, and Case Hardened markets appear under variants. Variant source objects are sparse, so C5Game appears only for a variant it covers.

Read and validate a C5Game quote#

Fetch the full latest snapshot, select the exact market_hash_name, and read its c5game object. For a phase or tier, select the corresponding variant by its stable version before reading C5Game.

Use a positive ask as the current listing floor. Use the bid in a spread or sell-side comparison only when it is positive and no higher than the ask. Keep collected_at with the result so stale observations can be excluded.

For historical validation, POST /v1/prices/history returns C5Game ask and bid OHLC from December 24, 2025. The C5Game history guide also covers the long-term archive from 2023.

C5Game-specific limits#

  • A non-crossed ask and bid pair is still not guaranteed to represent one simultaneous orderbook observation.
  • Keep a valid ask when the bid is crossed, but mark the bid unusable. Swapping fields or clipping the bid would create a false spread.
  • ask_volume is the full active listing count for the item or variant. It is not quantity at the cheapest ask and does not count sales.
  • Current endpoints are available on all plans. History requires Scale or Enterprise; a free 2-day developer key covers evaluation of current prices.
