Steam Scraper - Games, Sales & Revenue Estimates, Player Counts, Reviews

Scrape Steam games by URL, search (e.g. "roguelike") or charts (top sellers, popular new releases, specials, coming soon, free to play) and get everything a game developer, publisher or investor needs:

• Price & discounts in any store country, release date, developers, publishers
• Genres, categories and user tags, supported languages, platforms, Metacritic score
• Reviews - total, positive/negative, positive ratio, Steam review score
• Players - live player count right now and yesterday's peak
• Sales estimates - estimated owners (review-count method) and estimated gross revenue, plus SteamSpy owner range and average playtime
• Review texts (optional) - text, recommended or not, playtime at review, helpful votes, language

$2 per 1,000 games, $0.20 per 1,000 reviews. No start fee. Removed or invalid games are never charged.

How are sales estimated?

estimatedOwners = total reviews x 30 (the widely used review-count "Boxleiter" method; Low = x20, High = x60). estimatedGrossRevenue = estimated owners x launch price x 0.6 (discounts, regional pricing, refunds), before Steam's cut. These are estimates - great for comparing games, not exact sales.

Pricing

• $0.002 per game with all details, player count and estimates
• $0.0002 per review text (only if maxReviewsPerGame > 0)
