What it is
Kinguin is a digital marketplace connecting 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, platform wallets, crypto wallets, and skins. Offer pages show platform, edition, activation method, seller, and regional restrictions. Products are unique keys redeemed on third-party platforms such as Steam; Kinguin says it is not affiliated with those platforms unless an offer explicitly states otherwise. Online stores, blogs, information websites, and affiliate services can apply to use its eCommerce API to import products and automate sales and key delivery. API access requires application and verification, two-factor authentication to create a client, and funds in a Kinguin eurBalance wallet before order dispatch. The API uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials and Bearer tokens, with a stated 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 tiers are Noble's Tier at $3.59 a month, Knight's Tier at $17.95 per 6 months, and KING's Tier at $35.90 a year.
