CrazyGames Scraper - Game Ratings, Plays & Details

CrazyGames Scraper: Game Ratings, Plays and Details

CrazyGames Scraper turns the CrazyGames catalogue into clean, flat rows: rating on the 0 to 10 scale, upvotes and downvotes, rating count, total plays and total likes, developer, category, tags, full descriptions, controls, FAQ, release and update dates, game engine, platform support, multiplayer lobby sizes, app store links, cover images and preview videos. Search by keyword, browse any category or tag, collect the whole catalogue of thousands of games, or paste links to a game, category, tag, search, new or hot page. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the results straight into your app through the API.

Why This Scraper?

• Ratings and popularity in one row. Rating, upvotes, downvotes, rating count, total plays and total likes side by side for every game.
• Full game profile. Developer, category, tags, breadcrumb hierarchy, descriptions, controls, FAQ, release date, last update and game engine.
• Platform and multiplayer coverage. Mobile, iOS, Android, Chromebook and Safari support, app availability, lobby sizes, moderated chat and instant join.
• Four ways in. Keywords, categories or tags, the full catalogue, or pasted game, category, tag, search, new and hot links.
• Useful filters. Minimum rating, minimum plays, release year, multiplayer only, mobile-friendly only, Originals only and hot games only.
• Pay only for what you use. Switch off full game details when play counts and basic info are enough.
• Send results to your apps. Optional export to Notion, Linear, Airtable and more through MCP connectors.

Use Cases

• Game discovery sites and app catalogues: build a searchable listing of browser games with ratings, categories and platform support.
• Market and trend research: track how many plays and likes games in a category get, and which developers and engines dominate it.
• Competitive and portfolio tracking: watch a developer's catalogue for new releases, updated games and rating changes over time.
• Recommendation and curation tools: filter for multiplayer, mobile-friendly or highly rated games to build themed lists.

coverUrl	"https://imgs.crazygames.com/glowmoss-cavern_16x9/cover"
detailsIncluded	true

Every record carries 65 fields in total. Beyond the ones above, a game record also holds identifiers and taxonomy (slug, developerId, categorySlug, hierarchy, collection), the rest of the write-up (descriptionRest, metaDescription, controls, faq), release detail (addedOn, releaseYear, lastFileUpdatedOn), engine and platform flags (loaderType, technology, orientation, status, isKids, hasIap, gameThumbLabels, iosFriendly, androidFriendly, iosAppFriendly, androidAppFriendly, chromebookFriendly, safariFriendly), the rest of multiplayer (minLobbySize, hasModeratedChat, supportsInstantJoin, hasLeaderboard), store and external links (playStoreUrl, appStoreUrl, steamStoreUrl, msnStoreUrl, gameSupportUrl, externalLinks), media (videoUrl, covers, previewVideos, desktopUrl), and allowEmbed, gamesInSeries, numRelatedGames, detailsIncluded and scrapedAt. With Include full game details switched off, the rating, vote, developer, description, FAQ, date and store link fields come back empty and detailsIncluded is false; play counts, category and basic platform flags still come from the listing itself.

How to Use

1. Pick a mode: Search for keywords, categories or the full catalogue, or URL for pasted links.
2. Add keywords or categories (or leave both empty to collect every game), set filters and a sort order.
3. Set Max items (default 20, 0 for no limit) and start the run.
4. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or send them to your apps.

Keyword search with full details:

{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchTerms": ["car"],
  "maxItems": 20
}

Top rated games in a category:

{
  "mode": "search",
  "categories": ["action"],
  "minRating": 8.5,
  "maxItems": 50
}

Newest puzzle games, play counts only:

{
  "mode": "search",
  "categories": ["puzzle"],
  "sortBy": "new",
  "fetchDetails": false,
  "maxItems": 100
}

Pasted links (game and category):

{
  "mode": "url",
  "urls": [
    "https://www.crazygames.com/game/polytrack",
    "https://www.crazygames.com/c/driving"
  ],
  "maxItems": 50
}

URL mode link shapes

Running URL mode with the links field untouched now scrapes one example of each shape below (a change from the earlier single category example). Clear the field and paste your own links to limit the run. A link in any other shape is skipped with a warning naming it.

Link shape	Example
Home page (whole catalogue)	https://www.crazygames.com/
Category	https://www.crazygames.com/c/action
Tag (may redirect to a category)	https://www.crazygames.com/t/io
Localized tag	https://www.crazygames.com/es/t/running
Search	https://www.crazygames.com/search?q=car
New list	https://www.crazygames.com/new
Hot list	https://www.crazygames.com/hot
Updated list	https://www.crazygames.com/updated
Multiplayer list	https://www.crazygames.com/multiplayer
Game page	https://www.crazygames.com/game/getaway-shootout
Localized game page	https://www.crazygames.com/es/game/getaway-shootout
Category from a page	https://www.crazygames.com/c/action?page=2
Category sorted newest first	https://www.crazygames.com/c/action?sort=new
Game link with tracking query	https://www.crazygames.com/game/getaway-shootout?utm_source=x

In search mode, category names may be written as on the site (for example Action games or .io); a name that matches no category is logged as an error and skipped.

Run it from your code

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("abotapi/crazygames-scraper").call(run_input={"mode": "search", "searchTerms": ["car"], "maxItems": 20})
for game in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(game["name"], game["rating"], game["totalPlays"])

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('abotapi/crazygames-scraper').call({ mode: 'search', searchTerms: ['car'], maxItems: 20 });
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or webhooks from the Integrations tab.

Max items, max pages and multiple sources

Max items is the only cap that limits the run; it counts games across every keyword, category or link in the run. When a run has more than one keyword or category, the cap is shared between them, and any share left unused by a source that ran dry is handed to the sources that still have games. Max pages is optional and only limits how many listing pages one category, the catalogue or one link walks through; leave it empty or 0 for no page limit, since Max items is what actually stops the run.

Pasted game links always come with full details

A pasted link to a single game page (/game/...) always fetches and returns that game's full profile (rating, developer, description, dates and platform support), whatever Include full game details is set to. That toggle only decides whether category, tag, search, new, hot and catalogue results are enriched with the same detail.

Output views and run summary

The dataset has three views, also linked from the run's Output tab:

• Games (overview): rating, votes, plays, developer, category, tags, platform flags and cover, one row per game.
• Game details (detail): the long-form fields, namely hierarchy, descriptions, controls, FAQ, platform and multiplayer detail, store links and media.
• Changes since the last run (changes): changeType, changedFields, firstSeenAt, lastSeenAt and the key figures, for incremental runs.

A Run summary record (OUTPUT in the key-value store) lists the mode, how many games were saved, how many came from each keyword, category or link, and, in incremental mode, the NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED and EXPIRED counts. Unreadable sources are reported in the run log, and a run where no page could be loaded fails instead of reporting an empty result.

Send results into your apps (MCP connectors)

Optionally pipe each run's games into the tools you already use, via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. This is an extra delivery step after the scrape: the Apify dataset is never changed.

What gets written to the connector: a condensed, human-readable summary of each game, not the full JSON record. Each game becomes one entry with a title and its key fields flattened to plain text. The complete record always stays in the Apify dataset.

1. Authorize a connector once under Apify, Settings, API & Integrations (Notion, Linear, Airtable or Apify).
2. Select it in the "Pipe results into your apps" input field. If the picker is empty, you have not authorized a connector yet.
3. For Notion, also set Notion parent page to the page where game pages should be created.

Notion receives one page per game. Linear, Airtable and Apify receive a best-effort write through whichever record-creating tool the connector exposes, or a short summary message if no such tool is available. Max items to export per connector caps how many games each connector gets per run and never changes the dataset. Leave the connector field empty to skip this step entirely.

Plan Requirement

The default proxy setting (Apify Proxy, standard connection) is tried first on every page request, and it was measured serving every page type this actor reads (catalogue lists, category and search pages, game pages and the game data service) on a paid plan, so paid plans need no action. If the site ever refuses a request, that request moves on to the residential connection and then to a backup connection, and the run log says so. Apify free plans do not include any Apify Proxy.

• Free plans do not include residential proxies. The run log then shows: "The selected connection is unavailable to this run. Apify free plans do not include residential proxies. Continuing on a backup connection; some pages may still be unavailable." The run continues on the backup connection and states when a page was served over it.
• Proxy refused for the account: if no page can be read because the proxy itself is refused, the run ends as failed with: "The proxy connection was refused for this account, so no page could be read. Your Apify plan does not include proxy access; a paid plan is required." Check your own proxy URLs too if you entered any.
• Residential unavailable and backup also fails: the run ends as failed with: "No results: residential proxies are unavailable on this run (Apify free plans do not include them), and the backup connection could not load the requested CrazyGames pages."
• Pages could not be loaded for other reasons: the run ends as failed with: "Could not load any results page (the requests failed), so nothing was collected. This is a connection problem, not an empty search. Please try again later."

A run that loaded at least one page never fails for connection reasons; sources that could not be read are skipped with a warning. Each page request has a 25 second time budget.

FAQ

How much does it cost?

You pay a small run start fee, plus per game saved to the dataset, plus a small surcharge (the detail-enrichment event, one unit per game) for each game whose full details (rating, developer, description, dates and platform support) were read, charged per game right after that game is saved (not as one total at the end of the run), so a run that stops early is billed only for the games already delivered. A pasted single game link always pays that surcharge; in incremental mode, games skipped as unchanged are neither saved nor charged; category, tag, search and catalogue results only pay it while Include full game details is on, which is its default setting. The Pricing tab shows the current rates. In incremental mode each EXPIRED row (a game that disappeared since the last baseline, returned once) is a saved row and is charged like any other saved game; it never carries the detail-enrichment surcharge. Switch off Emit expired games to skip them. A game whose details could not be read in an incremental run keeps its previous saved details and counts as UNCHANGED: it is skipped (not saved, not charged) unless Emit unchanged games is on, in which case its previously saved details are returned as an UNCHANGED row, charged like any saved game and never with the detail-enrichment surcharge. Use Max items to cap the cost of any run.

Is it legal to scrape CrazyGames?

This actor collects only publicly available game listing data. You are responsible for how you use it: follow CrazyGames' terms and the laws that apply to you, and get legal advice if you plan commercial redistribution. Cover images, preview videos and game descriptions may be subject to third-party rights.

Can I schedule this to catch new or updated games?

Yes. Switch on Incremental changes for scheduled runs in the 🔁 Resume & recurring updates section, then add a schedule from the Schedules tab. The first run returns every matching game as NEW. Later runs return only NEW and UPDATED games, each with changeType, changedFields, firstSeenAt and lastSeenAt; games that did not change are skipped, not saved and not charged. Turn on Emit unchanged games to get them as UNCHANGED rows. When a run reads every selected source to its end, games that disappeared since the last baseline come back once as EXPIRED rows (switch off with Emit expired games); capped, paged-from-N or failed runs never expire anything.

Change detection ignores the numbers that move on every run, so a busy game does not show up as updated every day: totalPlays, totalLikes, upvotes, downvotes, ratingCount, rating, scrapedAt and the play and like counts inside gamesInSeries. They are still returned on every row you receive. Add your own with Ignore fields when detecting changes (incremental mode only) (nested paths such as gamesInSeries.releaseYear work). The saved baseline is kept per search setup (mode, keywords, categories, links, filters, sort order and the full-details setting); State key lets you name or share one. Max items counts only the games returned. Without incremental mode every run is independent and returns the full result for its inputs.

Why did category or catalogue browsing return fewer games than I expected?

Check Max items first; it is the only cap that limits the run, and it is shared across every keyword, category or link you gave it. Max pages, if set, stops a single category, the catalogue or a link after that many listing pages regardless of Max items. Filters such as minimum rating or multiplayer only also narrow the result after the listing is read.

Why did my run finish with an empty dataset?

If a keyword, category or link cannot be read even after every retry and connection switch, that source is skipped with a warning in the run log and the other sources continue. If pages loaded but none of your keywords, categories or links returned a game, the dataset is empty and the run status notes that no games matched. If no page at all could be loaded, the run fails with a connection message (see Plan Requirement) instead of reporting an empty result. Check the log for which source could not be read, then adjust the input or run it again.

Can I use it with AI agents or MCP?

Yes. Call it from any Apify integration or MCP client, and use the connector field to push results into Notion, Linear or Airtable.
