Class CS2Inspect

Creates an inspect URL from an EconItem

Example

const cs2 = new CS2Inspect();
const item: EconItem = {
  defindex: WeaponType.AK_47,
  paintindex: 44, // Fire Serpent
  paintseed: 661,
  paintwear: 0.15
};
const url = cs2.createInspectUrl(item);
Copy

Decodes a MASKED inspect URL into an EconItem (synchronous, offline)

⚠️ ONLY works with MASKED URLs (URLs containing encoded protobuf data) ❌ Does NOT work with UNMASKED URLs (market/inventory links) - use inspectItem() instead

Throws

Error if URL is unmasked or invalid

Example

const cs2 = new CS2Inspect();
// This works - masked URL with protobuf data
const maskedUrl = "steam://rungame/730/76561202255233023/+csgo_econ_action_preview%20001807A8...";
const item = cs2.decodeMaskedUrl(maskedUrl);

// This will throw an error - unmasked URL
const unmaskedUrl = "steam://rungame/730/76561202255233023/+csgo_econ_action_preview%20S76561198123456789A987654321D456789123";
// cs2.decodeMaskedUrl(unmaskedUrl); // ❌ Throws error
