Yes. This CS2 API covers live matches, results, player stats, teams, rosters, rankings, tournaments and skin prices as REST JSON, with a free key for testing.

Is there an official Counter-Strike 2 esports API from Valve?

No. Valve's Steam Web API covers accounts, inventories and game clients, not pro matches. Esports data comes from third-party APIs like this one.

How do I get a CS2 API key?

Sign up on citoapi.com and the key is issued immediately. Send it in the x-api-key header on every request to https://api.citoapi.com/api/v1.

What is the first endpoint to try?

GET /cs2/live for matches in progress, or /cs2/matches/recent for finished ones. Open any match with /cs2/matches/{matchId} to get its maps.

Does it include skin prices?

Yes. /cs2/skins covers 28,677 skins with the current price on each marketplace, daily price history and the biggest movers.

Can AI assistants use it?

Yes. npx cito-mcp install writes the MCP config for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf and Codex, so an agent can call CS2 tools with your key instead of guessing.

Seamless Integration with our MCP Server

Give Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT the CS2 data. One command writes the MCP config; agents call live scoreboard, team map stat, opening duel and transfer tools instead of inventing match IDs, and your key stays on your machine.

One API for the whole CS2 scene

Counter-Strike 2 has no official esports data API, so most projects start by scraping a stats site and end up maintaining a scraper instead of their product. This API covers the same ground as documented REST endpoints: matches, maps, rounds, players, teams, rankings, tournaments and the skin market, with stable IDs and slugs you can store.

Every endpoint returns JSON with a consistent shape: a success flag, the data, and paging metadata on lists. Teams, players and events carry both an ID and a readable slug, so /cs2/teams/vitality and /cs2/players/zywoo work as well as their IDs.

Start on a free key with 500 requests a month. When the app is real, paid plans add commercial use, more requests, real-time live data and the full history.

Endpoints you can ship with

Pick what you are building. Start with live matches or results, then open a match for its maps and players.

Live matches

Poll the live list for every match in progress, open one match for its round, timer, bomb and players, or keep an SSE stream open and get each update pushed.
