Why does it say the inventory is not available?

Steam only shares an inventory that is set to Public. The owner can change it under Steam - Edit Profile - Privacy Settings - Inventory. It can also mean the account holds no Rust skins.

How are the skins priced?

At the same canonical price the whole wiki uses: Steam's lowest sell order for the skin, or the highest buy order when nothing is listed. Skins with no Steam market listing show as unpriced and count as $0.

How fresh is the data?

A fresh read from Steam is kept for 24 hours; the Reload link forces a new read. Prices are always today's.

Is the Rust inventory value accurate?

It is what the inventory is worth on the Steam Community Market right now, which is what almost everyone means by inventory value. What you would actually receive in a sale is lower: Steam takes roughly a 15% fee on every market sale, and thinly traded skins can take a long time to sell at the listed price.

Do I need to log in or send a trade offer?

No. Everything is read from public Steam data, so there is no login, no API key and no trade URL - which is also why you can check anyone's inventory, not just your own. It is free with no cap.

Can I see what an inventory looked like before?

Yes. Every day an inventory is checked, a snapshot of its items and that day's prices is saved; pick a date on the result page to view it. The value chart also has longer ranges and a custom date range.

Can I use this from code?

Yes - the rust.wiki API exposes the same lookup at /api/v1/inventory/{steamid} with an API key.
