Xbox Scraper

Pull the Xbox games catalog at scale — titles, structured pricing, ESRB/PEGI content ratings, genres, platforms, release dates, developers, publishers, and box-art image URLs for every game in the store. Localize to any of 24 regional storefronts to read region-accurate prices and currencies. Built for game market analysts, price-tracking teams, and games-industry researchers who need clean, structured Xbox catalog data without clicking through thousands of store tiles by hand.

Why This Scraper?

• 24 regional storefronts with region-accurate pricing — read prices, currency, and text from any of 24 Xbox markets (US, UK, Germany, France, Japan, Korea, Brazil, Mexico, and 16 more), each returning its native currency (USD, GBP, EUR, JPY, KRW, BRL, and more).
• Structured pricing, not a price string — every game carries a numeric price, originalPrice (MSRP), discountPercent, ISO currency code, and a ready-to-display priceText ("Free" for free-to-play), so sale math is done for you.
• ESRB / PEGI content ratings — the age-rating label ships on every game, whichever board applies to the region you scrape.
• Developer AND publisher names — both developer and publisher are captured separately, not merged into one credit line.
• Box-art and gallery image URLs — a primary imageUrl plus an images gallery of box art, hero art, and video poster frames, ready to embed.
• Five sort orders — order the games your run collects by Best Match, Title A–Z, Release Date (Newest), Price: Low to High, or Price: High to Low, so the cheapest titles or newest releases in your pull land at the top.
• Availability across every Xbox platform — the platforms list shows whether each game runs on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Cloud.
• Whole-catalog coverage — browse the full ~17,000-game Xbox catalog for a region in one run, or narrow to a keyword, franchise, or pasted store URL.
• Clean, deduplicated rows — one flat row per game, deduplicated by product ID, with camelCase fields and ISO release dates — no duplicate titles across pages.

Getting Started

Search by Keyword

The simplest way to start — search a franchise or title:

{
    "searchTerms": ["Halo"],
    "maxResults": 50
}

Browse a Region with Sort and Limit

Collect from the UK store and order the results cheapest first:

{
    "market": "en-GB",
    "sortBy": "priceLow",
    "maxResults": 500
}

Paste Xbox Store URLs

Point the scraper at exact browse, category, or game pages:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.xbox.com/de-DE/games/browse",
        "https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/forza-horizon-5/9NKX70BBCDRN"
    ],
    "maxResults": 200
}

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchTerms	string[]	["Halo"]	Games or franchises to search the Xbox store for, e.g. "Halo", "Forza", "Minecraft". Each term is searched separately. Keyword search returns at most ~50 results per term. Leave empty to browse the full catalog.
startUrls	string[]	[]	Paste Xbox store URLs directly — a browse/category page or an individual game page. Any filters already in the URL are respected.

Search Filters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
market	select	United States (English)	Which regional Xbox store to read prices and text from. Determines currency and language. 24 regions available, from United States (English) to Japan (Japanese), Germany (German), Brazil (Portuguese), and more.
sortBy	select	Best Match	How to order the games your run collects: Best Match, Title (A–Z), Release Date (Newest), Price: Low to High, or Price: High to Low. The order is applied to the games gathered in the run (bounded by maxResults) — raise maxResults to rank a larger slice of the catalog.

Options

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum number of games to collect across all search terms and URLs combined. Set to 0 to collect the whole catalog for a region (up to an internal safety limit of 20,000). Start with 20–50 to test, then increase.

Tips for Best Results

• Start small — set maxResults to 20–50 on your first run to confirm the data matches your needs, then scale up.
• Keyword search caps at ~50 games per term — the store's search view isn't paginated. For a full-catalog pull, browse a region (leave searchTerms empty) or paste a browse URL instead.
• Set maxResults to 0 for the whole catalog — a region's full games catalog is around 17,000 titles; unlimited runs collect all of them (up to a 20,000 safety limit), which takes longer and costs more.
• Combine region + Price: Low to High to surface deals — this is the fastest way to find regional free-to-play titles and the deepest discounts in a market.
• Sorting orders the games collected in your run — raise maxResults to rank a larger slice of the catalog by price or release date; a small run orders only the games it gathers.
• Switch market to compare prices across regions — run the same title or franchise in en-US, en-GB, and ja-JP to spot regional price gaps in native currency.
• Sort on Release Date (Newest) to track launches — ideal for monitoring a competitor's or publisher's newest titles as they ship.
• Mix inputs freely — search terms, pasted URLs, and a browse region can all run together in a single job; results are deduplicated by product ID.

Pricing

From $1.00 per 1,000 results — one of the most affordable ways to pull structured Xbox catalog data at scale. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold

100,000	$120.00	$115.00	$105.00	$100.00

A "result" is any game row in the output dataset. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee.
