CS2 Skin Pulse 🔪

Catch CS2 (Counter-Strike 2) skin price momentum — spikes, drops, and volume surges — before you check the market manually.

The Steam Community Market moves fast: skins pump on patch news, tournament hype, or a sudden supply squeeze. This actor tracks your watchlist and flags the moment prices or trading volume shift since the last check — no need to babysit the market page.

What you get

Two row types per run:

• Snapshot — current price + volume for every tracked item
• Signal — a named, fired condition:

Signal	Meaning
price_spike	Price up since the previous run (threshold configurable)
price_drop	Price down since the previous run
volume_spike	Listed volume surged vs the previous run

Signals compare against the previous run, persisted in a key-value store — so the more often you schedule it, the sharper the signal.

Source

Steam Community Market (public, no API key, no login). Covers any tradable CS2 item: rifles, knives, gloves, cases, stickers.

Use cases

• Skin traders — get alerted the moment something you're watching moves
• Flippers — spot volume surges (a sign of incoming price action) early
• Bots & automations — feed clean signals into your own trading/alerting flow

Input (all optional)

Field	Default	Description
items	8-item default watchlist	Exact Steam market names to track
auto_discover_top	0	Also track the top N items by listing volume
max_concurrency	4	Parallel Steam requests (keep low to avoid rate limits)
price_spike_threshold_pct	5.0	% price rise to fire price_spike
price_drop_threshold_pct	-5.0	% price fall to fire price_drop
volume_spike_ratio	1.5	Volume vs last run to fire volume_spike
min_price_usd	1.0	Ignore items priced below this

Example

{
  "items": ["AK-47 | Redline (Field-Tested)", "AWP | Asiimov (Field-Tested)"],
  "price_spike_threshold_pct": 3
}

⚠️ Use the exact Steam market name, e.g. AK-47 | Redline (Field-Tested) (find it in the item's Steam Market URL or page title).

Output

{
  "type": "signal",
  "name": "AK-47 | Redline (Field-Tested)",
  "signal": "price_spike",
  "direction": "bullish",
  "strength": "high",
  "message": "Price up +10.0% since last run."
}

Pricing

Pay per result: $0.002 per row (snapshots + signals). Tracking 8 items costs a fraction of a cent per run.

Tips

• Schedule it every 30–60 min — signals only fire by comparing to a previous run, so the first run just builds the baseline.
• The Steam Market throttles anonymous requests; keep max_concurrency low (default 4) and your watchlist reasonably sized.
