Access CS2 skin prices, historical data, order books, and marketplace details from PriceEmpire via 9 structured endpoints.
What is the Pricempire API?
The PriceEmpire API covers 9 endpoints for CS2 skin pricing data, letting you search skins by name, pull per-condition prices across multiple marketplaces, retrieve daily historical price series, and inspect buy-order books. The get_skin_marketplace_prices endpoint returns a flat list of current listings with condition, provider key, price in cents USD, and a freshness timestamp for every tracked marketplace.
curl -X GET 'https://api.parse.bot/scraper/13aff093-bec6-4662-8f55-4d151152977a/search_skins?limit=7&query=AK-47' \ -H 'X-API-Key: $PARSE_API_KEY'
Search for CS2 skins by name or keyword. Returns a list of matching items with basic info and minimum prices. Results are sorted by price descending. The query matches against market_hash_name.

}About the Pricempire API
Skin Search and Detail
Use search_skins with a query string — such as 'AK-47 Wild Lotus' — to get a ranked list of matching skins. Each result includes market_hash_name, slug, min_price, offers, rarity, and discriminator_slug. Pass that slug into get_skin_detail to retrieve the full item record: all condition variants (asset_items), per-variant price history and liquidity, a text description, and an array of similar_assets.
Pricing and Statistics
get_skin_marketplace_prices returns a flat listing per marketplace per condition, with provider_key, price (cents USD), condition, and updated_at ISO timestamp. For aggregate statistics, get_skin_price_statistics returns per-condition min_price, max_price, listings, liquidity, and historical price ranges across 7-day, 30-day, 90-day, and yearly windows. Historical daily series are available through get_skin_price_history, which accepts an item_id (from search_skins or asset_items[].id) and an optional days integer; it returns [timestamp, price, volume] tuples.
Order Book and Marketplaces
get_skin_order_book groups active buy orders by condition variant, exposing provider_key, price, count, and updated_at for each order. To understand which marketplaces are tracked, list_marketplaces returns fee (as a decimal), payment methods, item count, offer count, and Trustpilot rating for every supported platform. get_marketplace_detail deepens this with pros, cons, buyer_fee, description, and rating_count for a specific marketplace slug such as 'skinport' or 'buff163'.
Item Categories
list_weapon_categories exposes the full catalog taxonomy: collections, crates, souvenir packages, sticker capsules, tournaments, teams, and pro players — each as a typed array with name, URL, and (where applicable) image or year fields. This is useful for building navigation or scoping bulk price pulls to a specific collection or event.
The Pricempire API is a managed, monitored endpoint for pricempire.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when pricempire.com changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official pricempire.com API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.

| Tier | Price | Credits/month | Rate limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 200 | 5 req/min |
| Hobby | $30/mo | 1,000 | 20 req/min |
| Developer | $100/mo | 5,000 | 100 req/min |
| Team | $300/mo | 20,000 | 300 req/min |
| Company | $1,000/mo | 100,000 | 500 req/min |
Each endpoint has a fixed posted price per successful call — most fall between 1 and 10 credits — shown on this API's page before you run it. Exceeding the rate limit returns a 429 response. Authenticate with the X-API-Key header.
Does PriceEmpire have an official developer API?+
What does `get_skin_price_history` return and how granular is it?+
get_skin_price_history returns an array of [timestamp, price, volume] tuples. Timestamps are Unix epoch seconds, price is in cents USD, and volume is the trade count for that day. You control the lookback window with the days parameter; omitting it returns the default history window the source exposes.Does the API expose StatTrak or souvenir variant prices separately?+
get_skin_marketplace_prices and get_skin_price_statistics. StatTrak and souvenir items are separate entries in the catalog and can be retrieved by searching their full market_hash_name via search_skins and passing the resulting slug to the detail or pricing endpoints.Does the API cover float value or individual item inspect data?+
Are there any known freshness limitations on marketplace prices?+
get_skin_marketplace_prices includes an updated_at ISO timestamp, so freshness varies by marketplace and can be checked per-entry. Marketplaces that update infrequently will have older timestamps; the updated_at field is the reliable way to determine data age rather than assuming uniform refresh intervals.
