ProtonDB Steam Deck & Linux Compatibility Scraper

🎮 ProtonDB compatibility for Steam games

For Steam Deck owners, Linux players, and game researchers, this Actor checks a list of Steam game IDs and returns ProtonDB compatibility data you can compare or join with your own game list. Each saved row gives you the current tier, aggregate score, confidence, community report count, best-ever tier, recent trending tier, snapshot time, and direct ProtonDB source link.

• Review a shortlist before playing on a handheld with Steam Deck.
• Check current tiers for several IDs with ProtonDB Compatibility.
• Compare support across your game list with Linux Game Compatibility.
• Keep the returned fields beside game IDs with Steam Game Compatibility.
• Review tier history for a shortlist with Steam Deck Compatibility.

📊 Steam game compatibility rows

What you get

Each saved row gives you the ProtonDB values available for one Steam game ID. Optional values stay absent when ProtonDB has no value, so the dataset does not fill gaps with made-up data. Required fields keep the game ID, read time, and source link.

Main value

Use gameId to join the compatibility rows to a game list you manage. The direct sourceUrl helps you open the ProtonDB source for a row.

▶️ Check a game list with ProtonDB

Run steps

1. Add one or more numeric Steam App IDs to gameIds, such as "730".
2. Leave gameIds out to use the built-in set of popular games.
3. Start the Actor and open the dataset link from the Output section.

Choose the scope

Use one or more IDs for a focused run. You can submit a large list in one run. The public schema has no fixed maximum for the list. To limit the lookup work, submit only the IDs you need. If one ID has no usable ProtonDB summary, valid results from other IDs can still be saved.

⚙️ Input

Input fields

❓ FAQ

Do I need a ProtonDB account or API key?

No. Enter Steam App IDs only. The Actor reads ProtonDB's public API and does not ask for source credentials.

Can I submit game names or Steam store URLs?

No. The input accepts numeric Steam App IDs as strings, such as 730. It does not search Steam by title or crawl the Steam catalog.

What happens if one ID has no usable summary?

The Actor keeps valid results for the other IDs. It leaves unavailable ProtonDB values unavailable instead of making them up.

Why is a field missing from a row?

Fields such as currentTier, aggregateScore, and reportCount are omitted when ProtonDB has no value. Required gameId, snapshotAt, and sourceUrl remain in a saved row.

What does snapshotAt mean?

snapshotAt is the time when the Actor read that ProtonDB result. sourceUrl points to the direct ProtonDB source reference.

Does this install or test games?

No. It reads compatibility data. It does not install, launch, benchmark, or test games on hardware.

Is this a full Steam catalog?

No. It returns ProtonDB compatibility fields for the IDs you submit. It does not add genre, price, release date, or other catalog fields.

How is pricing calculated?

You are billed once for each returned game compatibility check at $0.00045.
