Steam Curators Scraper

Build a public outreach list of Steam Curators: the groups and publications that recommend games on Steam. Indie studios and publishers use it before a launch to see who has followers, how many reviews they publish, and how often those reviews are recommendations.

The start URL is the public curators page, https://store.steampowered.com/curators/. The Actor walks that list and returns one row per curator. No Steam login is required.

What can this Steam Curators scraper do?

• Page through the public curator directory.
• Capture follower counts, including the higher-value follower figure Steam publishes.
• Split reviews into recommended, not recommended, and informative.
• Save the curator description, avatar, Steam page, and community link.
• Stop at maxItems so a test run stays small and a full export can go further.
• Schedule a refresh and export JSON, CSV, or Excel through Apify.

The directory holds thousands of curators. A default run keeps the first few so you can check the shape. Raise the cap when you want a real outreach list.

How to scrape Steam Curators

1. Open the Actor and keep https://store.steampowered.com/curators/.
2. Set Maximum items. Use 20 or more when you want past the first screen.
3. Leave the proxy off unless Steam blocks the run.
4. Start the run and download the dataset.

Sort the sheet by followers or by recommended reviews before you write to anyone. The description is the place many curators put a website.

Use cases

• Build a key-request list before a Steam launch.
• Rank curators by followers in your genre using the description text.
• See who is still publishing reviews via lastReviewAt.
• Compare recommendation rates across outlets.
• Refresh the list each quarter as new curators appear.
• Attach avatars in an internal directory.
• Exclude curators with almost no reviews.
• Share a CSV with a PR freelancer.
• Track one curator page link over time by re-running and diffing follower counts.
• Pair the list with your own press contacts.

Pricing

You pay per curator exported. The directory is long, so set maxItems to the slice you actually need. Platform usage is separate when the listing is billed as pay per event plus usage.

FAQ

Does this need a Steam login? No. The public curator directory is enough.

Can I start from one curator page? This Actor reads the directory. Open a curator's url from the dataset when you want that page.

Why might follower counts move? Steam updates them. Re-run on a schedule if you want a history.
