Stability And Coverage

This SDK is intentionally conservative about what it claims to support.

The goal is not to expose every route-shaped rumor. The goal is to expose the routes and helpers that can be defended with live validation, source analysis, or both, while still being honest about lower-confidence edges.

Where To Look For What

Status Words You Will See

The coverage matrix uses these words deliberately:

• implemented available in csfloat-node-sdk
• degraded still exposed in csfloat-node-sdk, but the current live surface is regressed, stale, or externally unavailable
• discovered route existence is confirmed, but it is not yet promoted into the SDK surface
• validated confirmed through official docs, live API checks, local source analysis, or a combination
• account-gated route exists, but real usage depends on account state, eligibility, or role
• source where the evidence came from

What Counts As Stable For Users

Treat these as the normal supported surface:

• resource methods documented in Resource Reference
• helper exports documented in Helpers, Builders, And Constants
• workflow helpers documented in Workflows And CLI
• the transport and error model documented in Transport, Errors, And Metadata
• the shipped example scripts

What Is Intentionally More Low-Level

Some surface is exposed because it is useful and real, but the SDK still treats it conservatively:

• account.acceptOffer() the route exists and is implemented, but happy-path response semantics are still intentionally conservative
• account.syncSteamNewOffer() low-level Steam sync helper
• account.syncSteamOffers() low-level Steam sync helper
• account.cannotDeliverTrade() / disputeTrade() / markTradeReceived() / rollbackTrade() / manualVerifyTrade() / verifyTradeRollback() bundle-confirmed low-level trade lifecycle edges that remain intentionally state-gated and conservative
• account.verifyEmail() / account.verifySms() low-level account verification helpers whose delivery/confirmation behavior remains API-controlled
• meta.inspectItem() / account.getBuyOrdersForInspect() inspect-linked helpers that still need current runtime context: meta.inspectItem() is locally live for masked links but degraded for legacy unmasked links, and account.getBuyOrdersForInspect() now expects the current listing-derived trio serialized_inspect ?? inspect_link, market_hash_name, and gs_sig
• sdk.client.get/post/patch/put/delete low-level transport methods for advanced wrappers
• sdk.client.*WithMetadata() low-level metadata access for operator tooling and rate-limit visibility

These are not “bad” APIs. They are simply closer to the metal than the average application flow.

Account-Gated And Role-Gated Areas

Some routes are fully implemented in the SDK but still depend on account state or actor role:

• creating listings or bulk listings
• trade acceptance/cancellation flows
• some payments and withdrawal flows
• seller-side or buyer-side trade lifecycle steps
• some companion-token flows if the underlying account cannot mint the token

When these routes reject, the SDK tries to classify the failure into useful CsfloatSdkError.kind values such as account_gated or role_gated.

Why API_COVERAGE.md Still Matters

The docs pages tell you how to use the supported surface.

API_COVERAGE.md tells you:

• which raw routes are implemented
• which routes are only discovered
• which query params are meaningful, ignored, or stale
• how confidence was established

That file is especially important when you are deciding whether to build on:

• a public query parameter with weak semantics
• a browser-observed route not yet promoted into the SDK
• a low-level or partially mapped endpoint

How To Read The Project Conservatively

A good practical rule:

1. start with the documented runtime surface in docs/
2. use API_COVERAGE.md when you need route-level certainty
3. treat discovered-only routes as research material, not stable SDK surface

Future Docs Site Strategy

If this project later gets a dedicated docs site, the right strategy is to reuse these Markdown docs as the source of truth instead of creating a second documentation system.
