Built on Steam's new reviews API (the old one stops on 22 October 2026)

Valve is switching off the old store.steampowered.com/appreviews endpoint on 22 October 2026 (Steamworks announcement). Most Steam review scrapers and Python scripts still call it. This Actor already runs on the replacement, IUserReviewsService/GetAppReviews, and uses its new filters:

Filter	What it does
📅 Exact date window	Reviews from / until a date (or "30 days"). Steam applies it exactly: no reviews from outside the window, nothing to trim or pay for
⏱️ Playtime at review	Only reviewers with at least (or at most) N hours when they wrote it: skip 2-hour first impressions, or study refund-window reviews
🕹️ Steam Deck players	Only reviews by people who played mostly on Steam Deck
🌐 Several languages at once	English + Russian + Simplified Chinese in one request, or all 30
👍 Positive / negative, 🛒 Steam purchases / keys, 💣 review bombs	Same choices as the store page

What you get

One row per review. Real example, 12 October 2026 (English, Russian and Chinese, last 60 days, 2+ hours played):

gameName	recommended	reviewText	playtimeAtReviewHours	votesHelpful	language	createdAt
Hades	true	Офигенейшая игра	73.3	0	russian	2026-10-12

Field	Description

createdAt, updatedAt, isEdited	Posted and last edited (UTC)
votesHelpful, votesFunny, helpfulnessScore, commentCount	Votes, Steam's helpfulness score, comments
playtimeAtReviewHours, playtimeTotalHours, playtimeLastTwoWeeksHours, deckPlaytimeAtReviewHours, lastPlayedAt	Hours the reviewer played: when writing, in total, lately, on Steam Deck
primarilySteamDeck, steamPurchase, receivedForFree, writtenDuringEarlyAccess, refunded	Flags of the review
developerResponse, developerRespondedAt	The developer's reply
authorSteamId, authorProfileUrl, authorReviewCount, reviewUrl	Reviewer and a link to the review
appId, gameName, gameUrl, reviewScore, totalReviews, positivePercent	Game and its store score
gameDeveloper, gamePublisher, gameReleaseDate, gamePrice, gameGenres, gameImage	Store card (with Game details on, the default)

The Games summary (GAMES in the run's key-value store) has one entry per game: store score, total, positive and negative reviews, and how many reviews match your filters.

How it works

1. Add games: store links, app IDs or names. Any number
2. Choose Max reviews per game (0 = all), sort, languages, positive / negative, and optionally a date window, playtime and Steam Deck filters
3. Run, then download the reviews as CSV, Excel, JSON or HTML

Monitor new Steam reviews

Turn on Only new reviews, save the input as a task and schedule it (every hour, every day). Each run returns only reviews written since the previous run, so you can send new negative reviews of your game (or your competitors') to Slack, Discord or email with an Apify integration. Runs without new reviews cost only the run start.

FAQ

Will it break on 22 October 2026? No. It never calls the old appreviews endpoint: everything goes through IUserReviewsService/GetAppReviews, the method Valve names as the replacement.

Do I need a Steam Web API key? No. The new method works without a key; keyless calls share a lower rate limit, so the Actor spreads requests over proxy IPs when Steam answers "too many requests".

How many reviews can I get? All of them: set Max reviews per game to 0 with Most recent first. Steam returns 100 per request: 1,500 reviews of one game take about 5 seconds, 24,000 reviews of 12 games about a minute.

Why do the totals differ from the store page? The store page counts Steam purchases in all languages. Your filters (languages, keys, dates, playtime) change reviewsMatchingFilters; totalReviews is always the store page number.

Can I get new reviews in real time? Steam caches keyless answers for up to 10 minutes, so new reviews appear with up to 10 minutes delay. Hourly schedules are the sweet spot.

Which games work? Every Steam app with reviews: games, DLC, software and soundtracks, released or Early Access.

Use with the API and AI agents

Run it via the Apify API from Python, Node.js or any HTTP client (a drop-in replacement for scripts that called the old appreviews endpoint), or connect it to Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents through the Apify MCP server: "What do players complain about in the negative reviews of Hollow Knight: Silksong from the last week?"

Is it legal?

The Actor collects only public reviews that Steam shows to any visitor, through Valve's own public reviews API. Reviewers are identified only by their public Steam ID and profile link.
