Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Steam Game Scraper Extract comprehensive game data from Steam store pages. Simply provide a game name or Steam URL and get back all available game information — no login, no API key, no proxy required. ### What you get For each game, this scraper extracts: - **Game info** — Title, description, release date, developer, publisher, website - **Pricing** — Current price, original price, discount percentage - **Classification** — Genres, categories, user-defined tags - **Platforms** — Windows, Mac, Linux support - **System requirements** — Minimum and recommended specs for all platforms - **Media** — Screenshot URLs, trailer video URLs and thumbnails - **Languages** — Supported text languages and full audio languages - **Review stats** — Total reviews, positive/negative counts, review score (e.g. "Very Positive") - **Metacritic** — Score and URL (where available) - **Achievements** — Total achievement count - **DLC** — Count and App IDs of all DLC - **Content descriptors** — Mature content warnings - **Similar games** — Steam's "More like this" recommendations - **Awards** — Industry awards won by the game ### Inputs | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | **Steam Game URLs** | URL list | One or more Steam store URLs, e.g. `https://store.steampowered.com/app/1174180/Red_Dead_Redemption_2/` | | **Game Names** | Text list | Search by name — the first Steam search result will be scraped, e.g. `"Dota 2"` | At least one of the above inputs is required. You can mix URLs and names in the same run. ### Output One JSON record per game. Example: ```json { "appId": "1174180", "title": "Red Dead Redemption 2", "url": "https://store.steampowered.com/app/1174180/", "releaseDate": "Dec 5, 2019", "isFree": false, "priceFinal": 59.99, "priceFormatted": "$59.99", "developers": ["Rockstar Games"], "publishers": ["Rockstar Games"], "genres": ["Action", "Adventure"], "tags": ["Open World", "Story Rich", "Western", "Action", "Singleplayer"], "platforms": ["windows"], "totalReviews": 125000, "reviewScore": "Very Positive", "reviewScorePercent": 9, "metacriticScore": 97, "totalAchievements": 52, "dlcCount": 3, "dlcAppIds": ["1182396", "1182397", "1374580"], "supportedLanguages": ["English", "French", "German", "Spanish - Spain"], "fullyAudioLanguages": ["English"], "windowsRequirements": { "minimum": "OS: Windows 7 - Service Pack 1 (6.1.7601) ...", "recommended": "OS: Windows 10 ..." }, "screenshots": ["https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/..."], "trailers": [{"name": "Launch Trailer", "mp4Url": "https://...", "thumbnail": "https://..."}], "similarGames": [{"appId": "271590", "title": "Grand Theft Auto V"}], "awards": [{"name": "Game of the Year", "year": 2019}], "scrapedAt": "2026-04-07T12:00:00Z" } ```` ### Output Fields | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `appId` | string | Steam App ID | | `title` | string | Game title | | `url` | string | Steam store URL | | `headerImage` | string | Header image URL | | `capsuleImage` | string | Capsule image URL | | `backgroundImage` | string | Background image URL | | `shortDescription` | string | Short marketing description | | `detailedDescription` | string | Full HTML description | | `aboutTheGame` | string | About section HTML | | `releaseDate` | string | Release date (e.g. "Dec 5, 2019") | | `comingSoon` | boolean | Whether game is not yet released | | `requiredAge` | integer | Minimum age requirement (0 if none) | | `isFree` | boolean | Whether game is free-to-play | | `currency` | string | Price currency (e.g. "USD") | | `priceInitial` | float | Original price in currency units | | `priceFinal` | float | Current price (after discount) | | `discountPercent` | integer | Discount percentage (0 if no discount) | | `priceFormatted` | string | Formatted current price (e.g. "$59.99") | | `developers` | array | Developer name(s) | | `publishers` | array | Publisher name(s) | | `website` | string | Official website URL | | `genres` | array | Steam genre labels | | `categories` | array | Steam feature categories (e.g. "Single-player", "Steam Achievements") | | `tags` | array | User-defined tags | | `platforms` | array | Supported platforms: windows, mac, linux | | `windowsRequirements` | object | `{minimum, recommended}` as plain text | | `macRequirements` | object | `{minimum, recommended}` as plain text | | `linuxRequirements` | object | `{minimum, recommended}` as plain text | | `screenshots` | array | Full-size screenshot URLs | | `trailers` | array | `{name, mp4Url, thumbnail}` for each trailer | | `supportedLanguages` | array | All supported text languages | | `fullyAudioLanguages` | array | Languages with full audio support | | `totalReviews` | integer | Total number of reviews | | `positiveReviews` | integer | Number of positive reviews | | `negativeReviews` | integer | Number of negative reviews | | `reviewScore` | string | Review score label (e.g. "Very Positive") | | `reviewScorePercent` | integer | Steam's internal review score (1-9 scale) | | `metacriticScore` | integer | Metacritic score (0 if not available) | | `metacriticUrl` | string | Metacritic page URL | | `totalAchievements` | integer | Total number of Steam achievements | | `dlcCount` | integer | Number of DLC items | | `dlcAppIds` | array | App IDs of all DLC | | `contentDescriptors` | array | Mature content warnings | | `legalNotice` | string | Legal notice text | | `similarGames` | array | `{appId, title}` for recommended similar games | | `awards` | array | `{name, year}` for industry awards | | `scrapedAt` | string | ISO 8601 UTC timestamp of when data was scraped | ### Use cases - **Game research** — Compare prices, requirements, and review scores across multiple titles - **Market analysis** — Track genres, tags, and pricing trends across Steam's catalog - **Content aggregation** — Build game databases or recommendation engines - **Price monitoring** — Track discount percentages and current prices - **Review analytics** — Analyse review score distributions across genres or developers ### 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. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Steam store page URLs for the games you want to scrape.
