Steam Scraper: games, prices, discounts, and reviews

Steam Scraper collects game data and user reviews from the Steam store. For every game you get the name, prices and discounts in the country you pick, release date, developers, publishers, genres, categories, platforms, Metacritic score, Steam rating, total positive and negative reviews, images, and supported languages. Turn on reviews to also get the full text of each review with the reviewer's playtime, helpful votes, language, and dates.

You don't need a Steam account, an API key, or any code. Add game IDs, store links, or search terms, press Start, and download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML. Or pull them into your app through the Apify API.

What can you do with Steam data?

• Track prices and sales. Check what a game costs in the US, Ukraine, Germany, or any other store country, with the discount and the price before it. Run it on a schedule to log price history.
• Watch competitors. Follow ratings, review counts, and prices of games in your genre, and see how players react after each update.
• Analyze reviews. Pull thousands of reviews with text, language, and playtime for sentiment analysis, bug hunting, or feature requests. Filter by positive or negative reviews and by language.
• Research the market. Paste a store search link with tags, price filters, or specials, and get every game in that slice with its rating and price.
• Build datasets. Export clean rows to a spreadsheet or a database for research, dashboards, or model training.

Notes on fields

• Playtime is in minutes.
• price is missing for free games and for games that have no price yet. price.initial and price.final are in currency units, for example 17.99 dollars.
• releaseDateISO is filled when the store language is english. Other languages keep only releaseDate as Steam writes it, for example 9. Dez. 2020.
• reviewSummary covers reviews in all languages, whatever you pick in reviewsLanguage.
• developerResponse appears only on reviews the developer answered.

Limits

• Steam allows about 200 game detail requests per 5 minutes from one IP. The actor keeps under that limit, so it collects about 40 games per minute. Reviews come 100 per request and load much faster: 1,800 reviews of three games took 8 seconds in our tests.
• A search goes as deep as the Steam store search does. Narrow queries end early, for example "witcher" had 115 results in our tests, while the specials list ran past 2,000 games. Large searches take time because of the game detail limit above.
• Games that aren't sold in the chosen store country are skipped, as Steam doesn't return them there.

How much does it cost?

You pay for each item in the dataset, games and reviews alike, at $0.30 per 1,000 items. 100 games with 100 reviews each make 10,100 items and cost about $3.03. Without reviews, 1,000 games cost $0.30.

Export and integrations

The results go into an Apify dataset. From there you can:

• download them as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML, or RSS from the Output tab;
• send them to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, and other tools through Apify integrations;
• schedule runs, for example once a day, to track prices and ratings over time;
• start runs and read the results from your own code through the Apify API.

FAQ

Do I need a Steam account or a Steam API key?

No. The actor uses the public data the Steam store shows to every visitor.

How do I find a game's app ID?

Open the game in the Steam store. The number after /app/ in the address is the app ID. You can also paste the whole link into Start URLs.

Can I get prices in my currency?

Yes. Set Store country to your country code, for example ua for hryvnias or de for euros.

How do I scrape only discounted games?

Open the Steam store search, turn on Special Offers and any other filters, and paste the link into Start URLs.

Can I get only negative reviews?

Yes. Turn on Include reviews and set Review type to Negative. Combine it with Review language to read complaints in one language.

Is it legal to scrape Steam?

The actor collects only public data that anyone can see in the Steam store. Reviews are tied to public Steam profiles, so make sure you have a legitimate reason to collect them and follow the GDPR and other laws that apply to you. If you're not sure, ask a lawyer.
