I’m still working on a price API for the Counter-Strike 2 market that provides real-time & historical data.

Since my last post in February, I’ve gotten to ~25 paying users, which is cool considering it started as a fun project. Sorta a niche within a niche here.

The market is distributed across a bunch of 3rd-party marketplaces, and there's no 'simple' API that provides genuinely high-quality data for the few marketplaces that matter. It’s a surprisingly complex problem, which is probably why nobody else is bothering :).

It's been a super fun project, and I've been able to learn about collecting & managing a high (to me) scale of data, building an API from the ground-up, and creating my first 'commercial' website.

Website is @ https://cs2.sh/

The API is built w/ Go & Clickhouse, which I've also been super impressed with so far in terms of performance and efficiency.

Web design is inspired/somewhat taken from turbopuffer's site, since I really liked it.

I found Charles Proxy last year and it's fantastic. They have a mobile app too (if you need the ssl proxying for mobile apps).
