# 🔗 Generate a CS2 inspect-link from raw item data

`POST /steam/api/float/create-inspectlink`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://www.steamwebapi.com`
- URL: `https://www.steamwebapi.com/steam/api/float/create-inspectlink`
- Auth: API key in query parameter `key`

Baseurl: https://www.steamwebapi.com/steam/api/float/create-inspectlink?key=YOUR_API_KEY

💬 **What this endpoint does:**
- Generates a fully self-contained CS2 inspect-link from raw item data — the inverse of the `GET /steam/api/float` decoder.
- Output is compatible with our own decoder, csfloat's inspect tool, and every CS2 client that opens the link in-game.
- No Steam game-coordinator round trip — the certificate hex carries the entire item state.

🛠️ **Use cases:**
- Mock inspect-links for UI development and screenshots.
- Reconstructing an inspect-link when only the raw item data is known (backfill, migration).
- Generating links for items that never existed in any real inventory.

🌐 **How to use:**
- POST a JSON body with at least `defindex`. All other fields default to 0/empty.
- `quality` is auto-derived from `stattrak` / `souvenir` flags if you do not set it explicitly (4 / 9 / 12).
- `stickers` (max 5), `keychains` (max 1) and `variations` (max 5) accept arrays of objects with `sticker_id` (required) plus any of `slot`, `wear`, `scale`, `rotation`, `pattern`, `tint_id`, `offset_x`, `offset_y`, `offset_z`.
- Response includes the generated `inspectlink`, the raw `certificate` hex, and a `decoded` round-trip — so you can verify what the link will produce when re-decoded.
