You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ![banner](https://anyx.solutions/banners/steam-scraper.png) ## Steam Scraper **Games from the Steam store — prices and discounts in any country, review scores, genres, developers and optional user reviews — as clean JSON.** Scrape games from the Steam store by keyword or URL: prices and discounts in any country, review scores and totals, genres, developers, publishers, release dates, platforms, languages, Metacritic scores, screenshots, and optional user reviews. Search by keyword, or paste a Steam store search (filters, tags and sorting are kept) or an app page, and get one row per game with its store details and review totals, plus its latest user reviews when you ask for them. No login, no API key, no proxy. Built for game market research, price and discount tracking, publisher and competitor analysis, and review mining. ### ⚡ Quick start ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://store.steampowered.com/search/?term=roguelike" } ], "maxItems": 5 } ``` ### 🧩 Input | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | | -------------------- | ------- | -------- | ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `searchTerms` | array | no | — | Keywords to search the Steam store for, such as `roguelike` or `city builder`. Each term returns its matching games, most relevant first. | | `startUrls` | array | no | — | Steam store search URLs (`store.steampowered.com/search/?term=…`, with any filters, tags or sorting) or app pages (`store.steampowered.com/app//…`). Give these, `searchTerms`, or both. | | `maxItems` | integer | no | — | Maximum number of apps per search term or start URL. The input form starts at 5; leave it empty to get every result of the search. | | `country` | string | no | `us` | Two-letter store country (`us`, `gb`, `de`, `jp` …). Sets the currency and prices, and which games are available. | | `includeReviews` | boolean | no | `false` | Also collect user reviews for every app, most recent first, nested on the app. The review score and totals are always included. | | `maxReviews` | integer | no | `20` | Maximum number of user reviews per app. Only used when `includeReviews` is on. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | no | `{ "useApifyProxy": false }` | Proxy settings. The Steam store needs no proxy; for runs of thousands of apps, a datacenter proxy runs faster. | **Using store filters.** Open the [Steam search](https://store.steampowered.com/search/), set the filters you want (tags, price, specials, platform, sort order), and paste the address from your browser into `startUrls`. The Actor returns the same games in the same order. ### 📤 Output Each app is one dataset row. Prices are in whole currency units for the chosen country; when you turn on `includeReviews`, the reviews are nested in the row's `reviews` list. #### Fields | Field | Type | Description | | -------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `appId` | number | Steam app ID. | | `url` | string | The app's Steam store page. | | `name` | string | App name. | | `type` | string | `game`, `dlc`, `demo`, `music`, `software` … | | `searchTerm` | string | The search term that found the app, or `null` for an app URL. | | `country` | string | The store country the prices are for. | | `isFree` | boolean | Whether the app is free to play. | | `currency` | string | Price currency (ISO 4217). | | `initialPrice` | number | Price before any discount. | | `finalPrice` | number | Current price; `0` for free games, `null` when the app is not sold on its own. | | `discountPercent` | number | Current discount, in percent. | | `releaseDate` | string | Release date as the store shows it, or the announced date. | | `comingSoon` | boolean | Whether the app is not released yet. | | `developers` | array | Developer names. | | `publishers` | array | Publisher names. | | `genres` | array | Genres. | | `categories` | array | Store features, such as Single-player, Steam Achievements or Full controller support. | | `platforms` | array | Supported platforms: `windows`, `mac`, `linux`. | | `shortDescription` | string | The one-paragraph summary from the top of the store page. | | `descriptionHtml` | string | Full "About this game" description as HTML. | | `descriptionText` | string | Full description as plain text. | | `supportedLanguages` | array | Supported languages. | | `fullAudioLanguages` | array | Languages with full audio. | | `requiredAge` | number | Minimum age the store requires, `0` when none. | | `metacriticScore` | number | Metacritic score, when the store shows one. | | `metacriticUrl` | string | Metacritic page, when the store links one. | | `reviewSummary` | string | Steam's review score, such as "Very Positive" or "Mixed". | | `totalReviews` | number | Number of user reviews, all languages. | | `positiveReviews` | number | Number of positive reviews. | | `negativeReviews` | number | Number of negative reviews. | | `positivePercent` | number | Share of positive reviews, in percent. | | `recommendations` | number | Recommendation count shown on the store page. | | `achievements` | number | Number of Steam achievements. | | `dlcCount` | number | Number of DLCs for the app. | | `headerImage` | string | Header image URL. | | `screenshots` | array | Full-size screenshot URLs. | | `website` | string | The developer's website, when listed. | | `reviews` | array | User reviews, most recent first (see below).

### 💡 Use cases - **Game market research** — size up a genre or tag: how many games, at what prices, with what review scores. - **Price and discount tracking** — watch prices and sales across countries and currencies. - **Publisher and competitor analysis** — follow what developers and publishers release, and how players receive it. - **Review mining** — collect player reviews with playtime for sentiment analysis and feature feedback. ### ❓ FAQ - **Do I need a Steam account or an API key?** No. The Actor reads the same public store pages any visitor sees. - **Do I need a proxy?** No. It runs without one by default. Steam limits how fast one IP can read game details, so the Actor paces itself at about 40 games a minute; for runs of thousands of games, a datacenter proxy spreads the work over several IPs and runs faster. - **Why is the price empty for some games?** Free games have a price of `0`. A game that is only sold in a bundle, not released yet, or not sold in your chosen country has no price; a game that is not available in that country at all is skipped, and the log says so. - **Can I get prices in euros or pounds?** Yes. Set `country` to the store you want, such as `de` or `gb`. - **Which reviews do I get?** The most recent ones, in every language, up to `maxReviews` per game. The review score and totals are always included, with or without the review texts. - **Why is `authorGamesOwned` 0?** Steam reports 0 when the reviewer's profile hides their game library. - **Why did a run return fewer games than expected?** The search may match fewer games than `maxItems`, packages and bundles in search results are skipped, and games unavailable in your country are left out.
