CSGO-skin-price-database

This project collects data from the Steam Market, allowing users to store the prices of all CSGO skins at a given moment, like a market snapshot. The collected data is saved into a database for easy access and analysis.

Features

• Skins relational informaton: Collection, Wear, Rarity
• Pricing by diferent references: Wear, Weapon, Collection, Quality (StatTrack)
• Database Storage: Stores the scraped data in a structured database for efficient retrieval and analysis.
• Extensible: Easily integrate with other tools or expand the functionality as needed.

Requirements

• Python3.x
• SQLite3
• Requests

Installation process

1. Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/waz4/CSGO-skin-price-database.git

2. Navigate to project directory

cd CSGO-skin-price-database

3. Instal required dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Simply run the build_database.py to go throught the whole process of creating and fetching the data to populate the database

python3 build_database.py data_base_filename

Pricers

Pricers are used to get the market prices for all the skins, these can filter and subdivide the data which can be usefull for precision.

If the proxy list is very small choose a pricer that divides the data more. Because if the skins price changes substancially during the pricing the skin might be moved to a diferent page of the steam requests and be lost.

This behaviour can be check for when running DB_loader.load_prices() in which it will count how many repeated skins. Each repeated skin means one skin changed price during the queries and swaped place with a skin that was previously received.

Proxy Recommendations

To avoid being blocked by the Steam Market due to excessive requests, it is highly recommended to use a list of proxies. This will help distribute the requests and reduce the amount of times your IP address gets put on cooldown.

1. Create a file named proxies.txt in the project directory.
2. Add a list of proxy addresses (one per line) to proxies.txt.

Example of proxies.txt:

proxy1:port
proxy2:port
proxy3:port
