}'What Skintick returns for Haloskins
Prices are the lowest current ask — the cheapest listing you could actually buy — as decimal strings in USD, never floats. Every row carries collected_at, source_updated_at, staleness_seconds, is_stale, is_outlier and a confidence tier — so Haloskins prices are safe to combine with the other 15 sources without one bad row poisoning your pricing logic.
Haloskins serves both Chinese and international traders, so its asks often sit between CN and western pricing — useful when you want to see where the two halves of the market meet.
Prices are normalized to USD and carry their own freshness stamp.

Haloskins API — FAQ
How do I get Haloskins prices through an API?

What does the Haloskins price on Skintick represent?
The lowest current asking price — what you would actually pay for the cheapest listing. Every row also carries collected_at, source_updated_at, a staleness figure in seconds, and outlier and confidence flags, so your code can decide what to trust rather than guessing.
How often are Haloskins prices updated?
~3 hours (actively traded), daily (full catalog), covering full live catalog, ~31k names. Because the age of every row is on the row itself, you never have to assume — check staleness_seconds and is_stale and apply your own threshold.
What fees does Haloskins charge, and is there a trade lock?
Haloskins charges roughly 2% on the seller side, and items carry the standard 7-day Steam trade hold on delivery. Skintick returns fees and lock days through /v1/markets so spread calculations can account for them.
