Level 1 · Steam login

30 seconds. Steam OpenID. No password, no required email.

When you log in with Steam, we import your CS2 skin inventory automatically in the background. It appears in the /inventory section with category filters, current vs target allocation, and top holdings.

What does NOT come: Steam Inventory API does not expose paid prices or acquisition dates — that comes in Level 2.

Level 2 · Steam Market history

Paid prices + dates. 2 paths: extension (auto-sync) or DevTools (one-time).

Recommended

Browser extension

Install once. When you visit the Steam Market, it syncs history automatically. Zero copy/paste, zero reconfiguration. CSFloat-style pattern.

Optional backfill: the "Contribute history" button in the popup scrapes (with your cookies, not ours) up to 50 skins from the STI universe at a time, helping deepen the index backtest. Consent modal + explicit human action. Details at /privacy § 5b.

Status: foundations ready. Chrome Web Store in progress — early access on request via /about.

Alternative

DevTools snippet

One-time paste in the Console (F12) on Steam Market. 5+ years of history in 1 minute. Re-import whenever to refresh.

Available now in /settings after login.

Common questions

Do I need to pay?
No. Skin Trackers is free editorial (pre-monetization). Future model will likely have a paid newsletter or optional premium tier, but the core (indices, inventory, methodology) stays free.
Do you have access to my inventory/Steam account?

Server-side: never. Login is via Steam OpenID — Steam only confirms your identity (SteamID64). Our server never receives your Steam session cookies, never trades, never buys/sells, and never accesses anything beyond what is already public.

Extension (optional): if you install the Chrome extension (in development), it reads your cookies locally (only in the context of steamcommunity.com, never cross-site) to access your transaction history and prices. Cookies never leave your browser — only the processed result is sent to Skin Trackers. Details at /privacy § 5b.

Why doesn't history come automatically on login?
Steam doesn't expose purchase history in the public API — only item names. Reading history requires your Steam session cookie, which only your browser has. Hence the 2 paths: extension (reads via browser when you open the Market) or DevTools snippet (you run it manually once).
How is the product different from CSFloat / Pricempire / Buff163?
They are marketplaces (with analytics as a secondary feature). Skin Trackers is pure editorial — no marketplace, no conflict of interest. Focus on methodological rigor (S&P-style indices, 6 years of backtest, documented player-count correlation). For the collector who wants to understand the market, not just buy/sell.
Can I use it without signing up?
Yes — the entire Level 0 works without login. You can access all indices, blog, methodology, market. Login is only required for personal portfolio features (inventory, watchlist, targets).
