Steam Games & Reviews Scraper

Scrape Steam game data and user reviews through Valve's public storefront JSON endpoints: search results, full app details (prices, genres, tags, metacritic), and multilingual user reviews with sentiment-ready fields. No login, no Steam API key, no proxies.

Why this actor

• 🎮 Low-competition niche — far fewer actors cover Steam than Twitter/Instagram, but demand from indie devs, publishers and gaming media is steady
• 🔓 Zero keys — Valve's storesearch, appdetails and appreviews JSON endpoints are public
• 💬 Review intelligence — recent-review sentiment is the single best signal for launch tracking and post-patch monitoring
• 🌍 Multilingual — pull reviews per language/region for global launch coverage
• 💰 Pay-per-record — charged only for records returned

Use cases

• Launch monitoring — schedule daily runs; watch review % and volume after launch/patches
• Competitor intel — price history snapshots, discount cadence, genre positioning
• Publisher reporting — sentiment + review velocity dashboards per title
• Community tools — "is it worth buying now?" bots using recent-review health

Notes

• Record types: game (search hit + details merged) and review (one per review).
• Steam rate-limits politely; the actor paces requests automatically — large runs are fine, just slower.
• Prices reflect the selected countryCode store; use the region your buyers care about.
