Steam Store Scraper 🎮

What does Steam Store Scraper do?

Steam Store Scraper is a Steam game data extractor for collecting structured game listings and detailed store metadata. Enter a keyword such as action or provide a Steam search URL, then export game titles, prices, discounts, release information, genres, platforms, requirements, media links, and publisher details from the resulting dataset.

The Actor is useful for game market research, price monitoring, catalog enrichment, competitive analysis, content planning, and gaming trend reports. Each saved item includes a direct Steam URL and a timestamp so you can connect the dataset to a database, dashboard, spreadsheet, or scheduled workflow.

Why use Steam Store Scraper?

• Game catalog research - Build structured collections of Steam games by keyword, category, sort order, or custom search URL.
• Price and sale monitoring - Track current prices, original prices, discount percentages, and sale status for selected titles.
• Catalog enrichment - Add descriptions, genres, categories, platforms, developers, publishers, media, websites, and system requirements to an existing game database.
• Release tracking - Identify release dates and separate released games from coming-soon titles.
• Localized datasets - Select the language and country code used for text and price fields.
• Automation-ready exports - Download results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or connect completed runs to other services through Apify integrations.

Tips for Best Results

• Start with maxResults: 20 and a low maxPages value to confirm the result shape.
• Use a focused keyword or a complete Steam search URL when you need a narrow catalog.
• Combine onlyOnSale and onlyReleased to create a cleaner price-monitoring dataset.
• Keep language and countryCode consistent across scheduled runs so price comparisons use the same market.
• Increase maxPages when the selected keyword returns more results than the first page.
• Check the dataset preview because Steam does not publish every field for every game.

Integrations and Export Formats

• Google Sheets - Review prices, release dates, and classifications in a shared spreadsheet.
• Airtable - Build a searchable game catalog with filters and linked records.
• Make or Zapier - Start downstream workflows when a run completes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many games can I collect per run?

Set maxResults to the number of records you need. The number of matching games and the selected page limit determine how many qualifying records are available.

Can I use my own Steam search URL?

Yes. Provide a public Steam search URL in startUrl. The Actor reuses compatible filters from that URL while controlling pagination and result limits from the input form.

Can I collect only discounted games?

Yes. Set onlyOnSale to true. The saved dataset will contain only items whose current Steam price has a discount.

Can I skip unreleased games?

Yes. Keep onlyReleased set to true to exclude items marked as coming soon.

Why are some fields missing?

Steam does not publish every field for every app. Missing descriptions, scores, media, requirements, websites, or package details are omitted when the source does not provide them.

Are prices localized?

Yes. Set countryCode to the two-letter market code you need and set language for localized text where Steam supports it.

Can I schedule recurring runs?

Yes. Create an Apify schedule to refresh a dataset hourly, daily, weekly, or at another interval supported by your account.
