# CS2SkinSpy

> CS2SkinSpy values public Counter-Strike 2 Steam inventories with Steam and marketplace price snapshots.

The path without a representation suffix returns Markdown-formatted plain text by default and requires no query string. Append `/txt` for explicit plain text, `/md` for standard Markdown, or `/json` for structured JSON. The path parameter accepts a SteamID64 or vanity name.

## API schema

- [OpenAPI 3.1 schema](https://cs2skinspy.com/openapi.json): Primary machine-readable API description. Its operations use a required path parameter instead of query parameters.

Important:

- The response includes the Steam total, the cheapest-marketplace total, a special-pattern estimate, and the most expensive items.
- The path-based operation returns five top items, applies no sticker-value uplift and omits the full eligible-item list.
- If the status is `unavailable` with code `inventory_private_or_unavailable`, explain that the Steam inventory is most likely private.
- Trade-locked and non-marketable items are omitted and never included in totals, so the real inventory can be worth more.
- Marketplace prices are snapshots, not guaranteed live offers. Disclose links marked as affiliate links.

## Broad compatibility API

- [Value a public inventory with the default plain-text response](https://cs2skinspy.com/api/v1/inventory/id/STEAM_ID64_OR_VANITY): Replace `STEAM_ID64_OR_VANITY` with a SteamID64 or URL-encoded vanity name. The suffix-free path returns Markdown-formatted `text/plain`.
- [Value a public inventory explicitly as plain text](https://cs2skinspy.com/api/v1/inventory/id/STEAM_ID64_OR_VANITY/txt): The explicit `/txt` representation has the same response as the default path.

## Standard Markdown API

- [Value a public inventory as Markdown](https://cs2skinspy.com/api/v1/inventory/id/STEAM_ID64_OR_VANITY/md): Append `/md` for the `text/markdown` representation.

## Structured API

- [Value a public inventory as JSON](https://cs2skinspy.com/api/v1/inventory/id/STEAM_ID64_OR_VANITY/json): Append `/json` for integer-cent and decimal-USD structured values.

## Optional

- [CS2SkinSpy website](https://cs2skinspy.com/): Human-facing inventory value checker.
