Bitskins API

BitSkins API Skill

Authentication

All requests to the BitSkins API require authentication via the x-apikey header.

The API key must be set in the environment variable BITSKINS_API_KEY. The user can obtain their API key from BitSkins account settings after enabling API access.

Important: Some endpoints (wallet withdrawals, 2FA operations) also require a twofa_code parameter. Always ask the user for their 2FA code when calling these endpoints rather than storing it.

Common Patterns

Searching the Market

The market search endpoints accept where objects for filtering and support limit/offset pagination:

{
  "limit": 20,
  "offset": 0,
  "order": [{"field": "price", "order": "ASC"}],
  "where": {
    "skin_name": ["AK-47 | Redline"],
    "price_from": 1000,
    "price_to": 5000
  }
}

Note: Prices are in cents (e.g., 1000 = $10.00).

Buying Items

To buy an item, you need its id and app_id. Use market search to find items, then:

{"app_id": 730, "id": "ITEM_ID", "max_price": 1500}

The max_price parameter protects against price changes between search and purchase.

Listing/Depositing Items

1. Get Steam inventory: POST /steam/inventory/list
2. Deposit items: POST /steam/deposit/many with item IDs and prices
3. Monitor trade status: POST /steam/trade/active

Withdrawing Purchased Items

After buying, withdraw to Steam:

{"app_id": 730, "id": "ITEM_ID"}

Important Notes

• Always confirm with the user before executing buy, sell, withdraw, or any financial operation
• Prices are in cents (integer values)
• Game IDs: CS2 = 730, Dota 2 = 570
• The where_mine filter on "mine" endpoints accepts: listed, pending_withdrawal, in_queue, given, need_to_withdraw
• 2FA codes are time-sensitive; always request fresh codes from the user
