Fetching Market Items
Query Parameters
Sandbox Mode
When you passdevelopment=true (or development=1), the market returns the same live listings but stamps every item so you can build your UI against the complete item shape without needing expensive skins in the pool:
offer.deliveryis forced to"instant"previewTokenis set to a fixed placeholder inspect tokenbotInfois populated with a synthetic holding bot
/secure/market, the source filter is ignored in sandbox mode so all suppliers are returned uniformly.
Search Suggestions
For building an autocomplete search box, use the suggestions endpoint:Item Listings
To get all available listings for a specific item type:
* Provide either
itemId or marketHashName.
This returns individual listings with different float values, stickers, and prices for the same item type. Useful when you want to let users pick a specific skin rather than just the cheapest one. Use phase and the floatMin/floatMax range to narrow to a specific Doppler phase or wear band.
Pricing in Market Items
For market items (withdrawals), theoffer.price is what it costs to buy this item. This is the amount that gets deducted from the merchant’s wallet balance.
The delivery field indicates how the item will be sourced:
"standard"– the bot sources the item from a marketplace supplier when the purchase is approved, then sends a Steam trade offer to the user"instant"– the item is already pre-positioned on the bot and the trade offer is sent immediately
id and offer.price when initiating the withdrawal — AssetPay routes the purchase to the correct marketplace supplier internally.
Keeping Prices Updated
Market prices change frequently. You have two options to keep your UI current:- Polling: Refetch market data periodically (every 30-60 seconds is reasonable)
- WebSocket: Subscribe to the
marketevent for real-time item and price changes on theinternalsource, pushed already priced for your account (see Market Updates)
Fetching Bulk Prices
If you need pricing data without item details (for example, to update prices in your own database), use the/secure/prices endpoint with your API key:
