🕒 Last updated: 2026-06-04 · 📊 20 fields per record · 30+ tracked stores · global PC pricing

Track every discount on the PC market without opening a single store tab. The CheapShark Game Deals Scraper reads the public CheapShark catalog and returns a clean, ready to use feed of game deals with store names already resolved, prices in US dollars, savings rounded to two decimals, and release dates converted to readable ISO timestamps.

It covers deals from Steam, GreenManGaming, GOG, Humble Store, Fanatical, Epic Games Store, Uplay, IndieGala, and more, so you can compare the cheapest price for any title across the whole storefront landscape in one pass. Two modes are built in. Browse the live deals feed with filters, or search a single game title and get its cheapest price across every store.

⚙️ Input

Field	Type	Description
searchTitle	string	Optional. A game title. When set, the run switches to search mode and returns that game's cheapest price across stores. Leave empty to scrape the deals feed.
maxItems	integer	How many records to return. Free plan is capped at 10.
sortBy	select	Order for the deals feed. Deal Rating, Title, Savings, Price, Metacritic, Reviews, Release Date, Store, Most Recent.
storeID	select	Limit the feed to a single store, or All Stores.
upperPrice	integer	Only return deals at or below this sale price in US dollars.
steamRating	integer	Only return deals with at least this Steam positive review percentage.

Example 1. Best rated deals under 15 dollars

{
    "maxItems": 25,
    "sortBy": "Deal Rating",
    "upperPrice": 15
}

Example 2. Search a single game across stores

{
    "maxItems": 10,
    "searchTitle": "Elden Ring"
}

⚠️ Good to Know: The deals feed filters (sortBy, storeID, upperPrice, steamRating) apply only when searchTitle is empty. In search mode only the title is used. Some titles carry no Metacritic score (returned as "0") and a few have no Steam rating yet (returned as an empty value). These fields are kept so your table stays consistent.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an API key or a CheapShark account? No. The source is a public catalog, so no key and no login are required.

Which stores are covered? The catalog tracks 30 plus stores and 15 are currently active, including Steam, GOG, GreenManGaming, Humble Store, Fanatical, and Epic Games Store.

What is the difference between the two modes? With an empty title you get the live deals feed with filters. With a title set you get the cheapest price for that one game across stores.

Why is Metacritic score sometimes 0? Some titles have no Metacritic entry yet. The source returns 0 in that case, and the field is kept so your table layout stays steady.

Why is the Steam rating sometimes empty? A few new or niche titles have no Steam review data yet. The field is kept and left empty rather than dropped.

What currency are prices in? Prices are in US dollars as provided by the source.

How do I open a deal in the store? Use the dealUrl field. It is a redirect link that sends you to the deal on the store page.

Can I limit results by price? Yes. Set upperPrice to a dollar value and only deals at or below that sale price are returned.

Can I filter by review quality? Yes. Set steamRating to a minimum positive review percentage to keep only well reviewed titles.

How many records can I get per run? Free plans return up to 10 records. Paid plans can return far more by raising the item limit.

How fresh is the data? Each run reads the catalog live, so prices reflect the moment you run it. The lastChange field shows when each deal price last moved.

Can I run it on a schedule? Yes. Use the Apify scheduler or any of the listed integrations to refresh the feed automatically.

🔌 Integrate with any app

Send the output anywhere through the Apify API, webhooks, or the integrations above. Results are available as a dataset you can pull on demand.
