## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Steam Game Details Scraper: price, reviews score, genres, bulk

Details of Steam games and apps by id or URL, up to 500 per run: name, type, price and discount per country, release date, developers, publishers, genres, platforms, Metacritic score, review score with positive and negative counts, DLC count and description, from Steam's store API. Pay per app.

### Why this scraper

- **Only delivered results are charged.** Inputs that fail come back as clear error
  records at no cost.
- Two calls to Steam's own store endpoints per app, no browser: details and the review summary in well under a second. Measured on the platform: three games for three hundredths of a cent.
- The facts a buyer compares: price and discount in the currency of the chosen country, release date as an ISO date, developers and publishers, genres, categories and platforms, Metacritic score, Steam's review label with the total, positive and negative counts and the positive percentage, recommendation count, DLC count, age rating, description, website and header image. No reviewer names or texts.

### Who this is for

Paste Steam app ids or store URLs in `apps` (up to 500 per run) and set `country` for the price. Every row carries the app id, name, type, free flag, price, currency, discount, release date, coming-soon flag, developers, publishers, genres, categories, platforms, Metacritic score, review label, review counts and percentage, recommendations, DLC count, required age, short description, website, header image and store link.

### Who this is not for

This is the store's public data: an app that is region-locked, delisted or not yet listed in the chosen country comes back as a free `NOT_FOUND` error row, and a free-to-play game shows price 0 without a currency. Release dates that Steam writes as a quarter or a year (`Q4 2026`) stay as written. The review summary counts Steam reviews only, not Metacritic user scores. Individual reviews are not delivered.

### Input example

```json
{
    "apps": [
        "570",
        "https://store.steampowered.com/app/1245620/ELDEN_RING/"
    ],
    "country": "us"
}
```

### Pricing

Pay per event: one `app-detailed` event per delivered result. No charge for inputs
that fail, no separate platform-usage surcharge.

**Free Apify plan:** this actor delivers up to 25 rows per run for accounts on the Apify free
plan, and then stops with a message. That limit is set by us, not by Apify. It exists so the
actor keeps paying for itself for the people who do pay. Any paid Apify plan runs it at full
size, billed per delivered row, with failed rows never charged.

**Reviews:** if this actor saves you time, a short review on this page is the one thing that
helps most. Ratings are what other buyers look at first, and we have no other way to ask.

### FAQ

**Does it deliver individual reviews?** No, the summary only: label, total, positive and negative counts, positive percentage. That is the signal without the personal data.

**Which currency do I get?** The one Steam shows in the chosen `country`; `us` gives USD, `nl` EUR, `gb` GBP.

**Does it work for DLC and software?** Yes, any app id the store lists; the `type` column says game, dlc, software, demo or music.

**Can I monitor discounts?** Run it daily on your list of app ids; `discountPercent` and `price` change with every sale.

**Do I pay for unknown ids?** No. Only delivered apps are charged.

**Is personal data collected?**
`price` is in the currency of the chosen country as a decimal; `positivePercent` is Steam's positive share over all reviews; `releaseDate` is ISO when Steam gives a full date.

**What happens when the source changes?**
Sources change from time to time; that is the nature of this work. The actor is
monitored daily and fixed fast, and while it is broken you are not charged, because
only delivered results cost anything.
