How to Get CSFloat Gamma Doppler Prices

Updated

API reference: GET /v1/prices/latest

GET /v1/prices/latest serves current CSFloat Gamma Doppler prices separately for Phase 1-4 and Emerald under the base item's variants object.

Gamma Doppler phases are distinct markets. The stable codes are p1, p2, p3, p4, and emerald. Keeping those identities attached prevents an Emerald quote or a parent quote from being mislabeled as a numbered phase.

Current CSFloat fields#

A covered Gamma Doppler variant can contain a CSFloat source object with:

  • ask for the cheapest active phase listing.
  • bid for the highest active phase buy order.
  • ask_volume for the number of active listings.
  • updated_at and collected_at for listing-source freshness.

CSFloat does not provide bid_volume. Bids refresh every ~10-30 minutes according to item liquidity. Variant listing prices on CSFloat generally refresh every ~10-15 minutes.

Find the phase quote#

Fetch GET /v1/prices/latest and locate the base Gamma Doppler market_hash_name in items. Read variants, select the desired stable version, and then read its csfloat object. The full snapshot is available on Developer, Scale, and Enterprise plans.

Use display_name for labels and version for matching. If the selected phase has no CSFloat object, leave it unavailable. The parent Gamma Doppler price and another phase do not describe that market.

For time series, CSFloat Gamma Doppler history supplies phase OHLC. The CSFloat sale archive supplies daily completed-sale price and count.

Keep these limits attached#

  • ask_volume is listing count, not sales or buy-order depth.
  • A phase bid can be absent while its ask exists. Without bid_volume, the bid only identifies the top price.
  • A bid above ask can reflect separately collected sides. Refresh that pair instead of treating it as a negative spread.
  • Current orders do not prove execution. Sparse Emerald markets benefit from completed-sale volume context.
