Import a match with a share code
Connect the Steam account that owns the match, then enter its share code and your Game Authentication Code. FragLedger adds the demo to your match history when it’s ready.
What is a CS2 match share code?
A match share codeidentifies a completed Counter-Strike 2 match, but doesn’t grant access to its demo by itself. Give FragLedger the Game Authentication Code for the account that owns the match, and we’ll ask Steam for the demo. Once it’s ready, the match appears in your history.
Two different codes for a match
- Game Authentication Code (match history authentication code) lets FragLedger request demos for your Steam account. You enter it once when you enable tracking.
- Match share code points at one completed match. You can paste codes manually or let tracking pick up new matches after setup.
How to import a match into FragLedger
- Sign in with Steam on FragLedger.
- Add the FragLedger bot as a Steam friend during setup.
- In CS2, open Settings → Game and copy the Your Match History Authentication Code.
- Open match history (or an end-of-match screen) and copy a share code.
- Enter both codes in FragLedger. When Valve makes the demo available, FragLedger downloads and processes it.
Large demos can take a few minutes to process. Follow progress on the status page or in your match history. Stats that aren’t ready yet are marked unavailable.
What you’ll see after import
- Team score and full 2v2 or 5v5 roster with SteamID64s
- Per-round K/D/A, damage, survival, trades, and win reasons
- Death timeline taken straight from the demo file
- Frag Rating v0.2 with published formulas on the methodology page
- If the demo doesn’t contain enough information for a stat, we mark it unavailable instead of showing zero
Where to find your codes in CS2
In CS2, find the match history authentication code under Settings → Game. Share codes appear beside completed matches in your personal history and on some post-game panels. A match in a friend's watch list may not belong to your account, so Steam may not let FragLedger download its demo.
Use a match share code, not a friend code, and make sure your authentication code is current. If Valve hasn’t made the demo available yet, FragLedger keeps checking instead of filling in stats from the scoreboard alone.
You don’t need to know Valve’s internal match IDs. FragLedger saves the match and its status to your account, so you can tell when an import failed instead of mistaking incomplete stats for final results.
Manual import vs automatic tracking
Manual import is the simplest option when you want to add one match, such as a scrim or a Premier game you want to review. Enter its share code and your Game Authentication Code in FragLedger.
Automatic tracking stores your Game Authentication Code and checks periodically for new matches linked to your account. It doesn’t change the game or show a live spectator view. When a demo is ready, FragLedger downloads it just as it would for a manual import.
Either way, saved matches appear in your history. Your profile visibility settings control what other people can see.
How codes are handled
Game Authentication Codes let FragLedger request match demos, so we encrypt them and never show them publicly. Share codes identify matches; we don’t publish them or scrape third-party sites for your match history.
You can revoke tracking and delete account data through Account settings. See the privacy notice for retention and deletion. For product questions, the about page lists community channels.
Share code FAQ
Why is my match stuck “waiting for demo”? Valve may show the share code before the demo is ready to download. FragLedger keeps checking and updates the match when the file is available.
Can I import a match I only watched? Only if your account is authorized for that demo through Valve’s systems. Watching as a spectator does not always grant download rights.
Does this work for FACEIT or third-party platforms? Share codes use Valve demos and your Steam account. When FACEIT data is available, we label it as FACEIT data rather than presenting it as a Valve demo.
Will my codes appear on leaderboards? No. Leaderboards and public profiles show the persona and aggregate stats you allow. Authentication codes and private share-code lists never appear.
