Steam Scraper — Games, Prices, Discounts & Reviews

Steam Scraper extracts games and user reviews from the Steam store, with no API key or login. For each game it returns the current price, discount, original price, review score (all-time and last 30 days), user tags, genres, developers, publishers, release date, platforms, Metacritic score and more. Turn on reviews to get full review text, recommended or not, hours played, helpful and funny votes and the post date. Find games by keyword search, Steam store lists (top sellers, new releases, specials, upcoming, most played) or paste store URLs / app IDs.

Steam reviews API not working? Valve retired the public store.steampowered.com/appreviews/<appid>?json=1 endpoint on 22 October 2026: it now redirects to the store front page (HTTP 302), so many review scrapers and scripts return nothing. This Actor reads reviews from Steam's community review pages instead and keeps working: same fields (recommended, hours played, helpful/funny votes, date, text), sorting and language filters.

What you get

• Search Steam by keyword with sort (relevance, newest, price, reviews) and an on-sale filter.
• Store lists: Top sellers, Popular new releases, Specials (discounts), Popular upcoming, Most played.
• Game rows: price, discount, original price, currency for 40+ store countries, tags, genres, categories, review scores, Metacritic, developers, publishers, platforms, languages, achievements, DLC count.
• Reviews from Steam's community pages (works after Steam's 2026 change to the old reviews JSON feed): text, recommended, hours on record, helpful/funny votes, awards, comments, post date.
• Review sorting (most recent, top rated, funniest, trending this week) and language filter.
• Fair billing: only saved games and reviews are charged; invalid IDs and empty searches are free.

How to use Steam Scraper

3. Optionally set the Country for prices (e.g. us, gb, de, in) and review sorting and language.

FAQ

Do I need a Steam API key or account?

No. The Actor reads public Steam store and community pages as a logged-out visitor.

Why do other Steam review scrapers fail?

Steam's old public reviews JSON feed (store.steampowered.com/appreviews) now redirects to the store front page. This Actor reads reviews from the Steam community review pages instead, which still work.

Which prices do I get?

Prices for the store country you set (default US, in USD). Set Country to gb, de, in, br etc. to get local prices and currency.

Are review scores for all languages?

The review summary on a game row is the one Steam shows for the chosen store language (English by default). recommendationsTotal is Steam's all-language total.

How many reviews can I get?

Up to 20,000 per game. Steam serves reviews 10 per page; the Actor pages through them automatically. Note: with sort Top rated and language All languages, Steam only returns the first 10, so pick a language for deeper top-rated pulls.

Is there a start fee?

No. You pay per saved game and per saved review only.

Is it legal to scrape this data?

The Actor collects publicly available information only and does not log in or bypass access controls. Use the data in line with the website's terms and the laws that apply to you, especially when processing personal data.
