Getting CS:GO Market Price history

I'm trying to get a data from steam market from this plot:

steam plot here

I'm trying to get this data using this url

http://steamcommunity.com/market/pricehistory/?appid=730&market_hash_name=AK-47%20%7C%20Frontside%20Misty%20%28Field-Tested%29

According to economy.js file from steam market page

new Ajax.Request( 'http://steamcommunity.com/market/pricehistory/', {
        method: 'get',
        parameters: {
            appid: this.m_item.appid,
            market_hash_name: GetMarketHashName( this.m_item )
        },
        onSuccess: function( transport ) { SellItemDialog.OnPriceHistorySuccess( transport ); },
        onFailure: function( transport ) { SellItemDialog.OnPriceHistoryFailure( transport ); }
} );

But when try to open http://steamcommunity.com/market/pricehistory/?appid=730&market_hash_name=AK-47%20%7C%20Frontside%20Misty%20%28Field-Tested%29 in my browser i always get empty [] result.

On the other hand, when I'm logged in my account in browser, the result is not empty and everything is fine. But this plot is always available at the http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/730/AK-47%20%7C%20Frontside%20Misty%20%28Field-Tested%29 page for me and it does not matter i'm in my account or not.

How to get this data properly and without auth?

I've been working on an API that gives you as much data as possible from the CSGO market sales. I'm tracking 6,269 items with ~1,028,619,499 successful sales worth ~$1,155,921,513.

One endpoint that could be used for those graph values is http://csgolyzer.com/api/history/{market_hash_name}?key={your_api_key}

This returns this response:

[
    {
        median_price: "0.34",
        sold_at: "2015-12-20 01:00:00"
    },
    {
        median_price: "0.32",
        sold_at: "2015-12-21 01:00:00"
    },
    ...
]

The API docs are available here: http://csgolyzer.com/docs

There are also other endpoints for more data about Market Sales and the API rates are better than querying Steam yourself.

Just scrape the history from the market listing page.
