Xbox Reviews Scraper

What does Xbox Reviews Scraper do?

Xbox Reviews Scraper collects structured player reviews and rating data from public Xbox game store pages. Add one or more Xbox game URLs, choose how many reviews to collect for each page, and receive one dataset record per review with the game details, review text, rating distribution, helpfulness signals, and collection timestamp.

This Xbox reviews scraper is useful for game studios, publishers, gaming analysts, researchers, journalists, and content teams that need player feedback in a dataset instead of copying reviews manually. Use the results for sentiment research, launch monitoring, competitor analysis, community reporting, and AI or data-enrichment workflows.

Why use Xbox Reviews Scraper?

• Collect player feedback at scale - Process multiple Xbox game store pages in one run.
• Keep review context with every record - Each review includes the game title, developer, publisher, product ID, and source URL.
• Analyze rating patterns - Compare average ratings, total ratings, and the count of each star level.
• Measure review usefulness - Use helpfulness scores plus positive and negative helpful votes to prioritize high-signal feedback.
• Support repeat monitoring - Schedule runs in Apify to watch how ratings and player opinions change after launches, updates, or pricing changes.
• Work with common data tools - Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or connect it to webhooks and automation platforms.

What data can you extract from Xbox game pages?

How to scrape Xbox reviews

1. Open Xbox Reviews Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Add one or more public Xbox game store URLs to startUrls.
3. Set maxReviewsPerUrl to the number of reviews you want from each game.
4. Enable Apify Proxy only when your collection requires it.
5. Start the run and review the dataset preview.
6. Download the results or connect the dataset to your reporting and automation workflow.

For a first run, use one game URL and a small review limit. Once the dataset contains the fields you need, add more URLs or schedule repeat runs.

Input Parameters

startUrls	Array	Yes	One example Xbox URL	One or more Xbox game store page URLs. Each item can be a request object containing a url property.
maxReviewsPerUrl	Integer	No	20	Maximum number of reviews to save for each game URL. Minimum value is 1.
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	{ "useApifyProxy": false }	Optional Apify Proxy settings for runs that need additional request stability.

Tips for best results

• Use complete public Xbox store URLs that include the 12-character product identifier.
• Start with maxReviewsPerUrl: 20 to confirm the URLs and dataset shape before increasing the limit.
• Review counts can be lower than requested when a game has fewer available reviews or the source returns fewer records.
• Product metadata can be empty when the Xbox page does not publish a developer, publisher, or description for that item.
• Use the repeated productId and gameTitle fields to group records when comparing several games.
• Schedule runs after major updates or launches if you need an ongoing view of rating and feedback changes.
• Public pages and published fields can change. Report unexpected results through the Actor’s Issues tab.

Integrations and exports

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I collect reviews from multiple Xbox games in one run?

Yes. Add multiple request objects to startUrls. The Actor processes each valid game page and saves review items for each product.

How many reviews can I request per game?

Set maxReviewsPerUrl to the desired limit. The Actor requests up to that number for each URL, subject to the reviews available for the game.

Can I change the locale or review sort order?

No. The current input schema does not expose those settings. Records use the en-US locale and MostHelpful review order.

Why are some output fields empty?

Fields can be empty when the source does not publish that information for a game or review. Check several records before treating a missing value as a collection problem.

Can I export Xbox review data to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Open the completed dataset in Apify and choose JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or another available export format.

Can I schedule recurring Xbox review collection?

Yes. Create an Apify schedule for hourly, daily, weekly, or custom repeat runs. Recurring runs can support post-update monitoring and rating trend reports.

Is collecting Xbox reviews legal?

You are responsible for complying with applicable laws, Xbox website terms, privacy requirements, and any restrictions that apply to your intended use. Collect and use public review data responsibly, and avoid using it to identify or target individuals.
