CS2 Item Details via Steam API or Steam Community Market?

[FlorianGs]

Is there a Steam endpoint that provides CS2 item descriptions?

I'm not referring to user inventory items or similar, but rather to a general endpoint that would allow me to build my own small item database. Specifically, I'm looking for something that includes data like Defindex and Paintindex, so I can identify and catalog all items myself.

No. You have to hit the GC (using the globaloffensive npm package or similar) to get details like that.

Thank you for that information!

I have another question:
In some old forum posts, I found statements claiming that there is something called an “original ID” which is assigned to an item when it is created and remains constant forever.
In contrast to the asset ID, this original ID supposedly does not change when the item is traded or modified.

Is it possible that this “original ID” is no longer shown by Steam and can no longer be retrieved?
