Faceit Ranks ​

5Stack can pull each player's Faceit CS2 skill level and ELO and display it on their player page.

Guide ​

  1. Get a Faceit API key

    Sign in to the Faceit Developer Portal and create a new application. From the application's API Keys tab, generate a Server-side key for the Data API. Copy the key.

  2. Add the key to your panel secrets

    Open INSTALL_DIR/overlays/local-secrets/faceit-secrets.env and set:

    env
    FACEIT_API_KEY=<your_faceit_api_key>

  3. Update the panel

    See the Update Guide for instructions on applying the new secret.

How it works ​

  • When a player page is opened, the panel asks the API to refresh that player's Faceit info.
  • The API uses a Redis lock to only hit the Faceit Data API at most once per player per hour, so high-traffic pages won't burn through your Faceit quota.

Troubleshooting ​

  • No chip appears on any player. Double-check that FACEIT_API_KEY is set in INSTALL_DIR/overlays/local-secrets/faceit-secrets.env and that the panel has been updated. The API logs FACEIT_API_KEY not configured on each refresh attempt when the key is missing.
  • Chip appears for some players but not others. That's expected — only players who have linked their Steam account to Faceit will have a CS2 profile to fetch.
