Steam Store Game Scraper

Steam Store Game Scraper

Scrape Steam Store game data from search terms or app IDs, up to a million games per run. Get titles, prices, discounts, release dates, and review scores for any country and language. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Steam's official API is limited and requires a key. This Actor reads the public Steam Store pages directly, so you can collect game listings by search query or specific app ID without any setup. Each result is returned as a flat row with pricing, metadata, and optional review scores.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your search terms are spelled correctly and are not too specific. Also ensure that maxItems is set to a number greater than 0. If using app IDs, verify they are valid Steam app IDs.

Why are prices different from what I see on Steam?

Prices can vary by region and change frequently. Make sure you set the correct countryCode for your target region. The Actor returns the current price at the time of scraping.

Why is the run slow when includeReviews is true?

Fetching review scores requires an extra request per game, which increases runtime. If you do not need review scores, set includeReviews to false to speed up the run.

Why am I hitting the maximum items limit?

Free users are limited to 10 items. To scrape more, upgrade to a paid plan and set maxItems to your desired number, up to 1,000,000.

Why are some fields empty in the output?

Some games may not have all fields populated, such as discount or release date. This is normal and depends on the game's store page. You can filter or handle missing values in your downstream processing.
