What can I get

• 🎮 Any game, any way you find it — paste OpenCritic ids or links, type names like Baldur's Gate 3, pick a curated list, browse by platform, year and tag, or pull a whole Xbox Game Pass catalog; mix them all in one run
• 🏆 The score on every row — Top Critic Score, tier (Mighty, Strong, Fair, Weak), percent recommended, review count, platforms with release dates, genres, tags and box art
• 🔥 Every list OpenCritic curates — popular right now, upcoming, recently released, most reviewed today and this week, the Hall of Fame of any year since 2016, and deals with store, price and discount
• 📋 The full record on demand — description, median score, percentile, developers, publishers, ESRB rating, store prices, trailers, every image set and the review milestone dates
• 🧾 Source context on every row — the entry as typed and how the game was found (typed, name search, list, browse, collection)

Why OpenCritic Scraper

Most other OpenCritic scrapers fail you in one of four ways:

• 🔗 One list or URL-only — no name search, no curated lists, no browse filters, no Game Pass catalogs
• 🧩 Low-detail data — a title and a score, not the tier, percentile, platforms, developers and prices
• 💸 Pay 5× to 21× more — $5 to $21 per 1,000 rows, often plus a start fee on every run
• 🪦 Works today, breaks next month — nobody maintains it

OpenCritic Scraper is read live on every run, priced honestly with no start fee, and actively maintained.

FAQ

Which games can I scrape? Any game on OpenCritic — by id, link or name, or every game on a list, a browse filter or a Game Pass catalog.

What does a run cost? $1 per 1,000 games, $2 per 1,000 with full details, and no start fee. Set Max Games to cap any run.

How fresh is the data? It is read live from OpenCritic on every run. Scores are exactly what the site shows at that moment.

Can I get the critic reviews too? Yes — OpenCritic Reviews Scraper gets every critic review by game, outlet or critic at $1 per 1,000.

Do I need proxies or an OpenCritic account? No. The Actor handles everything.

What if a game has no score yet? The row is still pushed, with the score and tier null — upcoming games have no reviews yet. You are charged the same either way.
