FAQ

Does this require a Steam account or API key? No. The scraper uses Steam's public store API and store pages — no login, account, or API key needed.

Does this work for free-to-play games? Yes. Free games return isFree: true and price fields are set to 0.

What if a game has no Metacritic score or awards? Fields that aren't applicable return safe empty values (0 for numbers, "" for strings, [] for lists) — never null.

Can I scrape multiple games at once? Yes — add multiple URLs or game names in the same run. Each produces one output record.

What happens if I provide both a URL and a game name for the same game? The scraper deduplicates by App ID — the game is only scraped once.

How fresh is the data? Data is fetched live from Steam at scrape time. The scrapedAt field records the exact UTC timestamp.

Why is reviewScorePercent a number from 1-9 instead of a percentage? This is Steam's internal rating scale where 9 = "Overwhelmingly Positive", 8 = "Very Positive", etc. The reviewScore field contains the human-readable label.
