All notable changes to Steam Store Scraper are recorded here. The newest release is first.
- Fixed: some Apify IPs get HTTP 403 from Steam's store on every call, and the run used to keep retrying from the same IP until it timed out. When you have not chosen a proxy, the run now switches to Apify Proxy (datacenter) at the first 403 and carries on.
- New: if no call to Steam succeeds for 2 minutes, the run stops with one free
error row and a status message explaining why, instead of waiting. Rows already saved are kept, and the run still ends as succeeded when it saved any ok rows.
- Fixed: runs failed (and Apify's automated test marked the Actor as under maintenance) because Steam's review-summary endpoint now redirects to the store home page. Review score and counts are read from Steam's store browse service instead; the positive/negative split is rounded from Steam's whole-percent score, so it can differ by under 0.5% of the review count from the earlier exact totals.
- Docs: related Actors listed; input field descriptions clarified for AI agents.
- Fixed: a game that Steam's live "top sellers" (or another list) reorders between the separate pages a run fetches is now returned once per list, at its first rank, not once per page it happened to appear on (you were charged for the repeat).
- Results whose text mentions "captcha" or "access denied" (a server description, a game or shop product name, a headline) are no longer mistaken for an anti-bot block, which could fail a good run.
First release (private staging).
- Steam game data from app IDs, store/community/SteamDB URLs, store search URLs, a search keyword, and the store lists top sellers, popular new releases, specials and popular upcoming.
- One row per app: price, regular price, discount and currency for any store country; release date; developers and publishers; genres and categories; platforms; Metacritic score; review score with total positive and negative review counts; current players; languages; DLC; age ratings; header image and screenshots.
- Public keyless Steam endpoints only: no login, no API key, no browser.
- Every row carries
status, so an unknown app or an empty search (not_found) and a failure (error) are told apart from real data. Only ok rows are charged.
- Aggregate review counts only: no review texts, no user names.
