What does Steam Reviews and Store Data Scraper do?

• Collects user reviews for one or more games, found by App ID or by search term.
• Collects store details for each game: price, discounts, genres, categories, platforms and Metacritic score.
• Adds review summary stats for your chosen language and for all languages.
• Puts reviews and game details in one dataset, told apart by itemType.
• Never outputs reviewer Steam IDs, usernames, profile links or other author data.
• No login, no browser and no API key. Uses public Steam JSON endpoints.
• Runs on Apify: call it via API, schedule runs, export to JSON, CSV or Excel, and connect integrations.

Who is it for?

Indie developers: read what players say about your game and your competitors. Game publishers and market researchers: compare prices, discounts, genres and review scores across a set of games. Data scientists: pull large sets of reviews for sentiment analysis.

Sources and terms

Source	Access method	Bravona's pacing
Steam reviews	Steam's IUserReviewsService/GetAppReviews JSON endpoint, no key	About 1 request per second (100 reviews per request)
Steam store details	Public JSON store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails (not in the Steam Web API docs, so it could change)	1 request every 2 seconds
Steam store search	Public JSON store.steampowered.com/api/storesearch	1 request every 2 seconds

The Actor backs off on HTTP 429 and 5xx (up to 5 retries, honoring Retry-After). Pacing is the Actor's own rate, not a limit published by Steam.

Terms: the Steam Web API Terms of Use say you may not use the Steam Web API or Steam Data for unsolicited marketing communications, and limit use to 100,000 calls to the Steam Web API per day. See also the Steam Subscriber Agreement. You are responsible for how you use the data.

Each run also writes an OUTPUT record to its key-value store: the resolved input, each search term and the App IDs it produced, and per-game status for details and reviews (count, pages, stop reason and Steam's matching total). Per game, details.chargeRequested is true when the details record was saved with its charge event, and details.charged / reviews.charged show what Apify actually charged; charging.payPerEvent says whether the run had pay-per-event pricing at all.

How much does it cost to scrape Steam reviews?

You pay only for records saved to your dataset.

Event	When it is charged	Price
Actor start	Once per run	$0.00005
Review returned	Each review saved	$0.0006 ($0.60 per 1,000)
Game details returned	Each game's details record saved, once per game per run	$0.002 ($2.00 per 1,000)

Examples (upper bounds: a game can have fewer reviews than the cap, and a search can return fewer games):

• Prefilled run (1 game, mode both, 50 reviews): 50 × $0.0006 + 1 × $0.002 = $0.032, plus the $0.00005 start fee.
• Defaults, 1 game (mode both, 100 reviews): up to 100 × $0.0006 + 1 × $0.002 = about $0.062, plus the start fee.
• Defaults, 1 search term (5 games, mode both, 100 reviews each): up to 500 × $0.0006 + 5 × $0.002 = about $0.31, plus the start fee.
• 1,000 reviews cost $0.60; details for 100 games cost $0.20.

Games Steam returns no details for (for example, not sold in your chosen country) get no details record and are not charged.

The Actor respects the maximum cost you set for the run (Apify's standard spending limit): when the limit is reached it stops cleanly.

Platform usage (compute, proxy, storage) is included in these prices. You pay only the event prices listed above, nothing extra on top.

Works on Apify's free plan; you pay a tiny start fee plus only for results returned (each review and each game-details record saved). Charges come out of your Apify account's prepaid usage; on the Free plan, once that monthly usage is used up, runs stop until the next billing cycle.

Limits

• The Actor paces itself (about 1 request per second for reviews, 1 every 2 seconds for details and search), so large runs take time: 50,000 reviews for one game take about 9 minutes.
• The store details endpoint is not part of Steam's documented Web API and could change or be throttled.
• Up to 50,000 reviews per game, and up to 10 games per search term (Steam's store search returns at most 10).
• Store search results can include DLC and soundtracks, not only games.
• Games not sold in your chosen country get no details record (and no charge); their reviews are still collected.
• Free games have null prices; vague release dates give a null releaseDateIso.
• Reviewer Steam IDs, usernames, profile data and other author data are not included.

FAQ

Is it legal to use this data? The Actor reads public Steam data without logging in. Review text is public user content: use it for analysis, not republishing. The Steam Web API Terms of Use forbid using Steam Data for unsolicited marketing communications. You are responsible for how you use the data. This is not legal advice.

Does it include reviewer profiles or Steam IDs? No. No reviewer IDs, usernames, profile links or other author data are output.

Which languages are supported? all, or any of Steam's 31 language codes (default english). Steam tags each review with the language the reviewer chose.

Can I get every review for a game? In testing, yes: on Oct 30, 2026, a game with 2,301 English reviews returned 2,300 of them with each review filter, at about 6,000 reviews a minute. That is an observed test result on a mid-size game, not a guarantee for every game. Set Max reviews per app as high as 50,000.

Why are review totals higher than on some other tools? The Actor counts reviews from all purchase types, not only Steam purchases. Dota 2 shows about 843,000 English reviews.

Why do I get at most 10 games per search term? Steam's store search returns at most 10 results per term. Use App IDs for more games.

A game has reviews but no details record. Why? Steam returned no store details for it in your country (removed, region-locked or not a store app). Its reviews are still collected and no details are charged. Try another country.

Do I pay for Apify compute on top? No. Platform usage is included. You pay only the listed event prices: $0.00005 per run start, $0.0006 per review and $0.002 per game's details.

Can I use it via API or integrations? Yes, like any Apify Actor, through the API tab, schedules and integrations.
