What does Steam Game Price Tracker extract?

For each game you provide, this Actor:

• Looks up the Steam App ID by title (or uses the App ID directly)
• Fetches the current price and any active discount from the Steam Store API
• Returns the review score (% positive), review summary label, and total review count
• Returns the Metacritic score, release date, developer, publisher, and genre list
• Supports regional pricing — results reflect the correct local price and currency for any country

All data comes from Steam's public store and review APIs. No login, no API key, no proxies required.

What can I do with Steam price data?

Track Steam sale prices at scale

Run a list of 50, 100, or 500 games during a Steam seasonal sale and capture the discounted price, original price, and discount percentage for each one in a single run.

Build a game deal monitoring pipeline

Schedule this Actor to run daily or weekly. Compare current prices against a baseline to detect new discounts and trigger alerts for price drops. A daily schedule is recommended during seasonal sale periods (Summer Sale, Winter Sale, etc.).

Enrich a game database

Append live Steam store data — price, review score, Metacritic score, genres, developer — to an existing list of games. Useful for games journalism, recommendation engines, and market research tools.

Regional price benchmarking

Run the same list of games with different country codes (us, gb, de, br, ar) to compare regional Steam pricing. Argentina and Turkey are commonly cheaper markets — useful for understanding global pricing strategy.

Validate free-to-play status

Check a bulk list of games to identify which are currently free-to-play on Steam.

How much will it cost?

Steam Game Price Tracker uses Steam's public APIs — no browser rendering, no proxies required.

Typical costs:

• 10 games: < $0.01
• 100 games: < $0.05
• 500 games: ~$0.10

The actor waits 600ms between requests to respect Steam's rate limits. A list of 100 games takes approximately 2 minutes.

Cost tips:

• Use App IDs instead of titles to skip the title resolution step and slightly reduce cost
• For large lists, run during off-peak hours to avoid any temporary Steam API throttling

See the Apify pricing page for full pricing details.

How does Steam Game Price Tracker work?

1. Title resolution — for each game title, the actor queries Steam's autocomplete search API to find the corresponding App ID. Numeric App IDs skip this step.
2. Store API call — fetches price, discount, release date, developer, publisher, and genre data from store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails.
3. Review API call — fetches review summary and count from store.steampowered.com/appreviews/{appId}.
4. Regional pricing — the country parameter is passed to Steam's API, which returns prices in the local currency.
5. Rate limiting — a 600ms delay between requests keeps the actor within Steam's public API limits.

Frequently asked questions

Does this require a Steam API key? No. This Actor uses Steam's public store and review APIs which do not require authentication.

Can I look up games by Steam App ID instead of title? Yes. Enter a numeric App ID (e.g. 730) directly in the games list. This is more reliable than title search for games with ambiguous names.

What happens with free-to-play games? Free-to-play games return currentPrice: 0, isFree: true, originalPrice: null, and discountPercent: 0.

Can I get prices for a specific region or currency? Yes. Set country to any two-letter ISO country code (e.g. gb for British pounds, de for euros, br for Brazilian reais).

What if a game is not found? The output row will contain the original query and an error field. This can happen for DLCs, soundtracks, software, or titles not available in the selected region.

Is there a rate limit? The Actor waits 600ms between games to stay within Steam's rate limits. A list of 100 games takes approximately 2 minutes.

How do I set up price drop alerts? Schedule the actor to run daily, then use an Apify webhook or the Make/Zapier integration to compare the latest dataset with a previous baseline and trigger a notification when discountPercent > 0 appears on a game that was previously at full price.

Can I use Steam Game Price Tracker via the Apify API? Yes. Use the Run Actor endpoint with your actor ID and input JSON. Combine with Apify webhooks to build automated deal alert pipelines.

Can I use Steam Game Price Tracker through an MCP Server? Yes. Via the Apify MCP server, you can call this actor from any MCP-compatible AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) to look up game prices in real time from a conversation.

Is scraping Steam data legal? This actor uses Steam's public store and review APIs — the same endpoints the Steam website and Steam app use. Accessing publicly available pricing data is generally permitted. Always review Steam's terms of service for your specific use case.
