}'What Skintick returns for Youpin898
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 Youpin898 prices are safe to combine with the other 15 sources without one bad row poisoning your pricing logic.
Youpin898 (悠悠有品) sits alongside Buff163 as the other half of the Chinese CS2 duopoly, and frequently prints the lowest ask on the CN side. Prices are converted CNY→USD at the daily ECB reference rate.
Youpin publishes buy orders as well as asks, but its buy-order feed aliases Doppler phases and gem finishes under the base item name. Skintick only serves a Youpin bid when it is coherent against that item's own ask, so bid coverage is deliberately narrower than their raw feed.
Youpin898 compared to other markets we track

Youpin898 API — FAQ
How do I get Youpin898 prices through an API?

What does the Youpin898 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 Youpin898 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 Youpin898 charge, and is there a trade lock?
Youpin898 charges roughly 2.5% 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.
Can I see Youpin898 prices without a Youpin898 account?
Yes. Youpin898 prices come back in USD through the same endpoint as every western marketplace, so you can compare Chinese and western pricing in one call without holding an account anywhere. Chinese venues often set the reference price for an item, which is why they are worth watching even when you trade elsewhere.
