Steam Player Count & Game Data Scraper

Get Steam game data enriched with the numbers that actually matter, no login or API key. Search games by name or pass app IDs, and every game comes back as one clean row with price and discount, release date, developers, genres, Metacritic score, review sentiment, the number of players in the game right now, and estimated ownership with community tags.

What it does

• Search or direct IDs - find games by name, or enrich specific Steam app IDs.
• Live player count - how many people are in the game at this moment.
• Review sentiment - total reviews, positive and negative counts, positive percentage, and the score wording (for example "Overwhelmingly Positive").
• Ownership estimate - estimated owner range, peak concurrent players, average and median playtime, and community tags.
• Any country storefront - prices and availability vary by country.
• Toggleable enrichment - switch off what you do not need for faster, cheaper runs.

Common uses: game market research, competitor and genre tracking, price and discount monitoring, launch-day and trend tracking, and building a games dataset.

Any enrichment you switch off, or that a game does not have (for example a live count for an unreleased title), comes back as null, so the shape is always the same.

Notes

• No login and no API key. Set your game names and run.
• Live player counts change constantly, so schedule the run if you want a time series.
• Ownership figures are estimates, useful for relative comparison rather than exact sales.
• Switch off enrichments you do not need to make runs faster and cheaper.
