skinport

An unofficial Python wrapper around the Skinport API.

Installation

skinport is available on PyPI:

$ pip install skinport

To install from source use:

$ pip install -e .

Usage

import skinport

# Public endpoints work without credentials
client = skinport.Client()
items = client.items(app_id=730, currency="EUR")
client.sales.history(market_hash_name="AK-47 | Redline (Field-Tested)")
client.sales.out_of_stock()

# Authenticated endpoints require credentials
client = skinport.Client(
    client_id="<skinport_client_id>",
    client_secret="<skinport_client_secret>",
)
transactions = client.account.transactions()

The client can also be used as a context manager:

with skinport.Client() as client:
    items = client.items()
    history = client.sales.history(market_hash_name="AK-47 | Redline (Field-Tested)")

Rate Limiting

Client-side rate limiting is enabled by default (8 requests per 5 minutes per endpoint group), matching the Skinport API limits. The client will automatically sleep when the limit is reached. To disable:

client = skinport.Client(rate_limit=False)

WebSocket Sale Feed

from skinport import SaleFeed

feed = SaleFeed(app_id=730, currency="EUR", locale="en")

@feed.on_event
def handle(data):
    print(data["eventType"], data["sales"])

feed.connect()  # blocks until disconnected
