# Steam Market Search API

Find a Community Market item, read its listing count and lowest price, and take the hashName to the price route.

`GET /v1/steam/market/items` searches Community Market items. `query` matches item names, for example `ak-47`, and `appId` limits the search to one app, for example `730` for Counter-Strike 2. `page` steps through ten items at a time.

Each item has `name`, `hashName`, `appId`, `appName`, `listings`, `lowestPriceCents`, `lowestPrice`, `iconUrl`, `type` and `tradable`. `hashName` is the exact market name the price route takes. The community routes are rate limited more tightly than the store and app routes, so space out pages and retry a temporary refusal.

## FAQ

### How do I search the Steam Community Market?

Call GET /v1/steam/market/items with query for item words, appId for one game, or both. data.items holds ten items a page with names, listings, lowest prices and images.

### How do I get an item's price?

Take the item's hashName and call GET /v1/steam/market/item with that name and the appId. The search route gives you both, so you do not have to reconstruct the market name.

### What is lowestPriceCents?

The lowest sell price in hundredths of the wallet currency unit, so 488 means $4.88 in USD. Divide by 100 for the amount. lowestPrice is the same figure as Steam displays it. Both are null when the item has no listing.

### Why are pages slower than store search?

The Community Market routes allow fewer requests per minute than the store and app routes. Keep pages spaced out and retry a temporary refusal after a short delay. Do not treat a slow page as a miss.

### How many credits does a market search page cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth. Each paginated page is a separate billed request.
