I was wondering if someone could give me a few hint on how to scrape efficiently steam market's history? I know there is an API but I can't seem to find a way to extract all the SM history of an item. For exemple, for any item, i'd like to be able to extract things such as ' numbers of items ' sold on the 12th of December 2018 and their average price.

if you take a look at :

https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/730/G3SG1%20%7C%20Green%20Apple%20(Factory%20New)

I'd like to scrape all the values from the graph.

I'd love to get some pointers, on how to start etc, especially regarding efficiency of the process. There is a lot a data to be scraped (not the whole market ofc but still). I'd really appreciate the input of someone who's used to that.

Thanks a lot

edit :

this request supposedly gives the market history of an item but I can't seem to be getting anything. Anyone else experienced that? (some simpler requests such as priceoverview work just fine though)

So basically you can use this request to get the data needed :

"https://steamcommunity.com/market/pricehistory/?appid=[gameID]&market_hash_name=[HTTP_ITEM_NAME]"

with gameID being 730 for CSGO for example and HTTP_ITEM_NAME : the item name converted to http

ex : ★%20StatTrak™%20Shadow%20Daggers%20%7C%20Stained%20%28Field-Tested%29

full request :

https://steamcommunity.com/market/pricehistory/?appid=730&market_hash_name=%E2%98%85%20StatTrak%E2%84%A2%20Shadow%20Daggers%20%7C%20Stained%20%28Field-Tested%29
