🔍 What Is This Actor?

Steam Scraper is a production-ready Apify actor that extracts complete Steam game data and Steam game reviews from the Steam Store — by keyword search, direct App ID, Steam URL, or featured/trending game lists.

Provide a search keyword like "open world RPG", paste a Steam game URL, enter one or many App IDs, or switch to featured mode to get the current top sellers and new releases — and receive back a rich, structured dataset for every game: name, price, discount percentage, genres, developer, publisher, release date, platform support, Metacritic score, system requirements, screenshots, DLC count, achievement count, and total recommendations.

Enable the optional Steam game reviews extraction to also pull paginated player reviews for each game — with recommended status, playtime, helpful votes, and full review text.

This Steam scraper works without any login, without Steam API credentials, and without any manual steps — making it the most complete Steam game intelligence tool available on Apify.

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need a Steam account or API key? A: No. This Steam scraper uses Steam's public store endpoints — no account, no login, and no Steam API key is required.

Q: How do I find a game's App ID? A: Go to the game's Steam store page. The App ID is the number in the URL — store.steampowered.com/app/570/ means App ID 570. You can also paste the full Steam URL into app_url and the actor extracts the ID automatically.

Q: What does max_reviews: 0 mean? A: Setting max_reviews to 0 (the default) skips Steam game reviews entirely and only returns game metadata. Set it to any positive number to enable review extraction.

Q: What is featured mode? A: Featured mode fetches Steam's current new releases, top sellers, and specials — giving you trending games across three categories in a single run.

Q: Can I scrape reviews from a specific game without fetching game data? A: Set mode to "app", provide the App ID, and set max_reviews to your desired count. Both game data and reviews are returned together.

Q: Can I export results to Excel or CSV? A: Yes. All results are pushed to the Apify dataset, which can be exported to JSON, CSV, Excel, and more from the Apify Console after the run completes.
