Steam Game Data Scraper — Prices, Genres, Reviews, Metacritic

Steam Game Data Scraper — Prices, Genres, Reviews, Metacritic — a fast, reliable steam scraper that needs no API key. Scrape Steam game data — price, discount, genres, developer, Metacritic, recommendations, release date. You pay only for the results you get: failed or empty runs are always free.

This steam scraper runs on the Apify platform, so you can call it from the API, run it on a schedule, or export results to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets.

What this scraper does

• Extracts structured steam data with no browser or API key required
• Returns clean JSON, one record per result — ready for sheets, databases, or apps
• Pay-per-result pricing: you are never charged for a run that returns nothing
• Runs on demand or on a schedule, and integrates with 5,000+ apps via the Apify API and webhooks
