# CSBoard API — CS2 Skin Marketplace for Developers

> REST API for live CS2 skin listings, bulk price snapshots, FX rates, and automated buying — all secured with a Bearer token. Free to read.

The CSBoard API gives you programmatic access to the CS2 skin marketplace. Fetch live buyable listings complete with float values, paint seeds, sticker data, and USD prices; pull a full gzipped price-list snapshot for bulk catalog ingestion; retrieve FX rates aligned with the site's payment flows; and place automated buy orders debited directly from your CSBoard balance — all from a single REST API rooted at `https://csboard.com/v1`.
