Steam Game Reviews Scraper - Text, Votes, Playtime

Export Steam user reviews for any game as clean rows: review text, recommended or not, helpful and funny votes, language, dates, the reviewer's playtime at the time of the review, and the game's overall review score.

The Actor uses Steam's official public review endpoint (store.steampowered.com/appreviews, documented in the Steamworks docs). No login, no API key, no proxy. 50 reviews take a few seconds.

What you can do with it

• Read what players say about your game or a competitor's after a patch, sale or launch.
• Collect negative reviews only, in one language, to find recurring complaints.
• Feed review text into sentiment analysis or an LLM for topic clustering.
• Track new reviews daily by scheduling the Actor with reviewedWithinDays: 1.
• Compare playtime-at-review between positive and negative reviewers.

• gameSlug is taken from the store URL when you give one; with a bare App ID it is null.
• Playtime is in hours. gameTotalReviews and the positive/negative counts are Steam's totals for the filters you chose (language, purchase type), so they change with the input.
• Reviewer Steam IDs, names and profile links are not included.

Limits and notes

• Steam returns 100 reviews per request; the Actor pauses briefly between requests. Very popular games have millions of reviews, so set maxReviewsPerGame or reviewedWithinDays.
• With sortBy: all, reviewedWithinDays is passed to Steam (up to 365 days). With recent, the run stops as soon as it reaches older reviews.
• Steam may hide reviews it flags as off-topic (review bombing) depending on its own filters.
• Game metadata (price, tags, description) is not included.

Pricing

You pay per review saved to the dataset, plus a tiny fee per run start.
