## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Steam Store Scraper MCP

An Apify Actor for Steam store data. One actor, four operations selected via
`mode`: search games, get full game details, read user reviews, and list
featured/discounted games. Built to be exposed as a tool through the
[hosted Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com).

### Modes

| Mode | What it does | Required input |
|------|--------------|----------------|
| `search` | Search games by name | `term` |
| `details` | Full details of one game (price, genres, platforms, metacritic…) | `appId` |
| `reviews` | A game's user reviews (paginated) | `appId` |
| `featured` | Featured & discounted games | – |

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `mode` | string | `search` | `search` \| `details` \| `reviews` \| `featured` |
| `term` | string | – | Search term (mode `search`) |
| `appId` | number | – | Steam App ID (modes `details`, `reviews`) |
| `country` | string | `us` | Country code for region/pricing |
| `language` | string | `english` | Result language (`all` for all review languages) |
| `reviewFilter` | string | `recent` | Ordering: `recent` \| `updated` \| `all` (mode `reviews`) |
| `reviewType` | string | `all` | Sentiment: `all` \| `positive` \| `negative` (mode `reviews`) |
| `purchaseType` | string | `all` | Source: `all` \| `steam` \| `non_steam_purchase` (mode `reviews`) |
| `dayRange` | number | – | Look back N days (1-365); only with `reviewFilter=all` (mode `reviews`) |
| `includeOfftopicReviews` | boolean | `false` | Include review-bomb / off-topic activity (mode `reviews`) |
| `maxItems` | number | all | Limit number of records |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | none | Optional proxy (helps with rate limits) |

### Examples

#### Search
```json
{ "mode": "search", "term": "Hollow Knight" }
````

#### Details

```json
{ "mode": "details", "appId": 367520, "country": "tr" }
```

#### Reviews (latest 100)

```json
{ "mode": "reviews", "appId": 367520, "reviewFilter": "recent", "maxItems": 100 }
```

#### Featured / discounts

```json
{ "mode": "featured", "country": "us" }
```

### Output

Records are returned in the dataset. The shape depends on `mode`; every record
includes `mode` and `scrapedAt`.

### Using as an MCP tool

The actor is available through the hosted MCP server:

```
https://mcp.apify.com
```

Add it to any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, …) with your Apify token. The
actor's input and output drive the tool definition and structured results
automatically.

### Notes

- For heavy use (lots of reviews or many games at once), enable
  `proxyConfiguration.useApifyProxy`. The actor automatically retries and
  rotates IPs when it runs into rate limits, and paces itself while paging
  through reviews.
- Pricing and availability are region-aware. If a game is missing in `details`
  mode, try a different `country`.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

What to do: search games by name, get full details of one game, fetch a game's reviews, or list featured/discounted games.

## `term` (type: `string`):

Game name to search for. Required when mode is 'search'.

## `appId` (type: `integer`):

Steam application ID. Required when mode is 'details' or 'reviews'. Find it in the store URL: store.steampowered.com/app/<appId>.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Two-letter country code for region/pricing (e.g. us, tr, de).

## `language` (type: `string`):

Result language (e.g. english, turkish). Use 'all' to include all review languages.

## `reviewFilter` (type: `string`):

Ordering of reviews. Only used when mode is 'reviews'.

## `reviewType` (type: `string`):

Filter reviews by sentiment. Only used when mode is 'reviews'.

## `purchaseType` (type: `string`):

Filter reviews by how the game was obtained. Only used when mode is 'reviews'.

## `dayRange` (type: `integer`):

Look back this many days (1-365) for helpful reviews. Only applies when Review filter is 'Most helpful (all-time)'.

## `includeOfftopicReviews` (type: `boolean`):

If true, includes reviews Steam flags as off-topic review bombing. Default excludes them.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of records to return. Leave empty for all available. Recommended for 'reviews' mode to avoid rate limits.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. Helps avoid rate limits when making many requests.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "term": "Hollow Knight",
  "appId": 367520,
  "country": "us",
  "language": "english",
  "reviewFilter": "recent",
  "reviewType": "all",
  "purchaseType": "all",
  "includeOfftopicReviews": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

All records produced by the selected mode.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("muzafferkadir/steam-mcp").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("muzafferkadir/steam-mcp").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
