GOG Scraper - DRM-Free Game Catalog & Prices

Scrape the GOG.com catalogue in bulk. Extract game title, price, discount, developer, publisher, genres, operating systems, rating, review count and release date to CSV/JSON. No API key, no login.

---

What does the GOG Scraper do?

This Actor turns any GOG search into a structured dataset. You give it across the catalogue or by search term, it walks the result pages one after another, and it writes one clean row per game into your dataset — ready to export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or to pull straight from the Apify API.

GOG drives its own catalogue page from a public JSON endpoint, and the Actor calls it directly. Prices, ratings, genres and platform support all arrive already typed, so there is no HTML to break. Pagination is followed automatically until it runs out of results, hits your page limit or hits your Max items cap, whichever comes first. Every row is de-duplicated across the whole run, so you are never billed twice for the same game.

There is no API key, no login and no browser involved. That keeps runs fast and cheap, and it means you can schedule the Actor without worrying about credentials expiring.

Who is it for?

• Game publishers comparing how their catalogue is priced on GOG versus Steam.
• Price-tracking products that need DRM-free store pricing.
• Market analysts studying the classic and indie segments GOG specialises in.
• Collectors and resellers watching discounts across the catalogue.
• Researchers assembling game metadata with developer and publisher attribution.

Use cases

• Export the catalogue and compare GOG pricing against other stores.
• Track discount depth across a publisher's back catalogue.
• Filter to Linux or macOS titles using the operating-system fields.
• Rank genres by average rating and review count.
• Build a DRM-free catalogue dataset for analysis.

Why use this GOG Scraper?

• 🔑 Keyless — no account, no API token, no cookies to paste.
• 📦 23 fields per game — everything the result page exposes, already typed.
• 📄 Real pagination — it walks page after page instead of returning the first screen.
• 🎯 Precise caps — Max items stops the run exactly where you want it, so the bill is predictable.
• 📊 Export anywhere — JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, plus the Apify API and integrations.
• 💸 Pay per result — you pay for rows you actually receive, with no platform fees to calculate.

How to use

Option A — across the catalogue

{
  "countryCode": "US",
  "maxItems": 700,
  "maxPagesPerSearch": 15,
  "searchTerms": []
}

1. Open the Actor and fill in the across the catalogue field.
2. Set Max pages per search and Max items to bound the run.
3. Click Start, then export from the Output tab.

Option B — by search term

{
  "countryCode": "GB",
  "maxItems": 200,
  "maxPagesPerSearch": 5,
  "searchTerms": [
    "witcher"
  ]
}

Paste one or more GOG URLs into Start URLs and the Actor paginates each of them independently.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchTerms	array	[]	Search the GOG catalogue.
countryCode	string	US	Two-letter country code that decides pricing and currency.
maxPagesPerSearch	integer	4	How many result pages to walk for each search.
maxItems	integer	200	Stop after this many games.
maxConcurrency	integer	2	Parallel requests.
proxyConfiguration	object	{"useApifyProxy": true}	Proxy used to fetch pages.

Tips for best results

• Leave the search term empty to walk the whole catalogue by trending order.
• GOG returns 48 rows per page, so a 20-page run yields roughly 960 games.
• basePrice and price differ only when a title is discounted — compare them to find sales.
• The operating-system booleans make GOG unusually good for finding Linux and macOS titles.
• developers and publishers are pipe-separated so they survive a CSV round trip.
• Prices follow the country code in the input; keep it fixed across runs you intend to compare.
• Schedule a run during GOG's seasonal sales to capture the discount curve.
• productState flags upcoming and in-development titles, which have no meaningful review data yet.
• Keep Max concurrency low — the catalogue endpoint is generous but not unlimited.
• Pair with the Steam store scraper to compare the same titles across both stores.

Integrations

Send results straight into the tools you already use: Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, Airtable or any Webhook. You can also schedule the Actor to run hourly, daily or weekly and have each run append to the same dataset, which is how you build a price or availability history rather than a one-off snapshot.

API usage

Run the Actor and collect results from any language. Replace <YOUR_TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/logiover~gog-catalog-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"countryCode": "US", "maxItems": 700, "maxPagesPerSearch": 15, "searchTerms": []}'

Node.js

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('logiover/gog-catalog-scraper').call({"countryCode": "US", "maxItems": 700, "maxPagesPerSearch": 15, "searchTerms": []});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('<YOUR_TOKEN>')
run = client.actor('logiover/gog-catalog-scraper').call(run_input={"countryCode": "US", "maxItems": 700, "maxPagesPerSearch": 15, "searchTerms": []})
for item in client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).iterate_items():
    print(item)

Use with AI agents (MCP)

This Actor is available through the Apify MCP server, so an AI agent can call it as a tool. Point your agent at https://mcp.apify.com and it can run the GOG Scraper on demand — for example: "Pull the first 500 games from GOG and summarise the price distribution." The agent receives the same structured rows you would get from the UI.

FAQ

Do I need a GOG account or API key?

No. The Actor reads publicly available pages only. There is nothing to authenticate and no credentials to rotate.

How many games can I get in one run?

As many as the search exposes. Raise Max pages per search and Max items together; the run stops at whichever limit it reaches first.

Why did I get fewer rows than I asked for?

The search ran out of games. That is normal for narrow queries — broaden the search or add more searches to one run.

Are results de-duplicated?

Yes. Each game is emitted once per run, even when it appears on several pages, so you are never billed twice for the same record.

Why are some fields empty?

GOG does not publish every attribute for every game. Empty means the source did not show it, not that extraction failed.

What export formats are supported?

JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML and RSS from the Output tab, plus the Apify API and any integration you connect.

How fast is it?

It is pure HTTP with no browser, so a page of results typically takes a second or two. Raise Max concurrency carefully — the source rate-limits aggressive crawling.

Can I schedule it?

Yes. Use the Apify scheduler to run it on any interval and append each run to the same dataset for time-series analysis.

Does it work behind a proxy?

It uses Apify Proxy automatically. You can switch groups or supply your own proxies in Proxy configuration.

How often does the data change?

GOG updates continuously. Re-run whenever you need current data; the Actor always reads the live pages, never a cache.

Is the output schema stable?

Yes. Field names and types are fixed, so downstream pipelines will not break between runs.

What if the site changes its layout?

Open an issue on the Issues tab and it gets fixed. The Actor is actively maintained.

Is it legal?

This Actor reads only publicly available pages on GOG — the same content any visitor sees without logging in. It does not bypass authentication, does not collect private data and does not attempt to defeat access controls. You are responsible for how you use the output: respect the source's terms of service, applicable copyright, and data-protection law such as GDPR where personal data is involved. Scraping public data is generally lawful in the EU and the US, but the responsibility for the downstream use of that data sits with you.
