Steam Scraper: game prices, details and Steam reviews

🎮 What is Steam Scraper?

Know what sells on Steam: this Actor turns the store entries of any games into tidy records. Compare Metacritic and the platform's own rating totals, then read the verdicts in the reviews. Hand it ids, links or title fragments.

• Game market research: compare prices, discounts, genres and review scores across a genre or a publisher
• Player feedback analysis: pull thousands of negative reviews and find what players complain about, with AI or in a sheet
• Price and sale tracking: schedule daily runs and catch discounts in any store country
• Studio and publisher reports: follow your own titles and rival ones, scores compared every seven days
• AI agents: let Claude or ChatGPT read Steam reviews and details through MCP

✨ Why use this Actor?

• ✅ Details and reviews in one run: one record per title plus one per review, each billed on its own
• ✅ Search by name: type "stardew valley" and the Actor finds the app id for you
• ✅ Sharp review filters: positive or negative only, any Steam language, newest, recently updated or most helpful first, since a date
• ✅ Game-wide review totals: Steam's rating label and positive share across all languages sit on every game row
• ✅ Any store country: currency and availability exactly as shoppers in that region see them
• ✅ Gentle on Steam: one title at a time with a pause and retries; an unknown id never stops the run

⚠️ Unknown apps and failed searches

An id Steam does not know, or one not sold in your store country, yields no row and is free; OUTPUT names it with the reason (in a real run: no such app on the Steam store (or not sold in this country) for id 1). A search term without matches is noted likewise. The run fails only when nothing at all answered.

View the results as a table or JSON in the Output tab and download them as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML or RSS, all fields or only those you pick.

💰 How much does Steam Scraper cost?

❓ FAQ

Why does reviewsTotal differ from the number of reviews I got?

The totals on the game row are Steam's game-wide figures in all languages. The review rows follow your filters and cap.

Why is a game missing?

Some apps are not sold in the chosen store country or are age-gated. Try another country; OUTPUT names the app and why.

Can I get only reviews, without game rows?

Yes: skip details for reviews alone, or drop reviews to keep only games.

How many reviews can I get?

Up to 10,000 per game per run (maxReviewsPerGame), up to 200 games per run.

Do I need a Steam API key?

No. The Actor uses the public JSON endpoints the Steam store page itself uses.

Is it legal to use Steam Scraper?

The Actor reads store and community data from the JSON endpoints the Steam store page itself calls, one title at a time and far below the rate limits. It collects no personal profile data beyond the Steam id shown on each review. Not affiliated with or endorsed by its owner; Steam is a trademark of Valve Corporation. Opinions are written by players: you are responsible for how you use and republish them.
