KrakenKeys Developer API

Free price-comparison data for Steam games. Build bots, tools, and sites on top of KrakenKeys.

KrakenKeys started as a solo project to make it easy to find the cheapest legitimate place to buy a Steam key, without wading through shady resellers or fake discounts. The site exists so gamers can find real deals quickly, with no clutter and no ads in the way, and this API gives you access to that same price data.

This API is free to use, and we intend to keep it that way. In return, price links returned by the API must route through KrakenKeys' own redirect rather than a raw store URL. Keys found bypassing this may be revoked. Full acceptable use terms are in our Terms of Service.

  2. 2

    Head to Account → Developers and generate a key. Give it a name so you can tell it apart later if you make more than one.

  3. 3

    Copy it straight away. You won't be able to see it again after you navigate away.

  4. 4

    Use it in the Authorization header on every request, shown below.
