FreeToGame Free Games Catalog Scraper

FreeToGame Free Games Catalog Scraper

Scrape the FreeToGame catalog of free PC and browser games, up to a million per run. Every game comes with its title, genre, platform, publisher, developer, release date, and profile link. No API key or login. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

FreeToGame lists every free-to-play PC and browser game in one place, but browsing it page by page is slow and there is no bulk export. This Actor reads the public catalog directly, filtered by platform, category, or sort order, and returns each game as one flat row.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check your category slug. It must match FreeToGame's exact slug, like 'shooter' not 'shooters'. Also try platform=all to see if any games exist.

Why is the run slow?

Large maxItems values take longer. Reduce maxItems or use a more specific filter to speed it up.

Why are some fields empty?

Not every game has every field. FreeToGame sometimes omits publisher or developer for certain titles.

Can I get more than 1,000,000 games?

The catalog has fewer than that, so 1,000,000 is effectively all games. If you need more, split by category or platform.
