Kinguin is a digital marketplace that connects buyers and sellers of games and other digital products. Listings include PC and console game keys, pre-orders, DLC, in-game items and currencies, software licenses, gift cards, subscriptions, hosting, wallets, and skins. Offer pages identify the platform, edition, activation method, seller, and regional restrictions; products are unique keys redeemed on third-party platforms, which Kinguin says it is not affiliated with unless an offer explicitly states otherwise. Stores, blogs, information sites, and affiliate services can apply to use the eCommerce API to import listings and automate sales and key delivery. Access requires application and verification, two-factor authentication for client creation, and funds in a Kinguin eurBalance wallet before order dispatch. The API uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials and Bearer tokens, and documents a limit of 2,000 POST, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH requests per minute. Kinguin launched in January 2013 and is operated by Kinguin Digital Limited. KING's Pass subscriptions include Noble's Tier at 3.59 USD per month, Knight's Tier at 17.95 USD per 6 months, and KING's Tier at 35.90 USD per year.
