Call this actor over HTTP

Besides normal runs, this actor exposes a REST API that answers each request in a few seconds with JSON. There is no run to start and no dataset to fetch afterwards, which suits apps, automations and AI agents that need one answer at a time. The full interactive reference is on the Endpoints tab.

Endpoint	Returns	Billed as
GET /app?id=…	Full record for one game, by App ID or store URL	One game
GET /apps?ids=…	Records for up to 50 games by App ID	Per game returned
GET /search?query=…	Games matching a keyword (up to 50)	Per game returned
GET /browse?section=…	Top sellers, new releases, specials or coming soon	Per game returned

Every endpoint accepts country, countries (up to 5 extra stores), language, reviews, description, media and steamspy, with the same meaning as the input fields above.

Authenticate with your Apify API token in the Authorization header:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  "https://unfenced-group--steam-store-scraper.apify.actor/app?id=1245620"

Every response has the shape { "count": N, "items": [...] }, with the same fields as the dataset records above. Errors, App IDs without a store page and empty searches return no data and are never billed. POST with a JSON body works the same as GET.

💰 Pricing

$0.99 per 1,000 results — you only pay for successfully retrieved games. Failed retries are never charged.

Results	Cost
100	~$0.10
1,000	~$0.99
10,000	~$9.9
100,000	~$99

Flat-rate alternatives typically charge $29–$49/month regardless of usage.

Subscription tiers lower the rate further, down to $0.69 per 1,000 at the highest tier. Use the Max results cap in the input to control your spend exactly.

---

Performance

Run size	Typical time (reviews off)	Typical time (reviews on)
100 games	about 1 minute	about 2–3 minutes
500 games	about 5–6 minutes	about 11–13 minutes
2,000 games	about 20–25 minutes	about 45–50 minutes

Each extra country in countries adds one price request per game. Up to 4 concurrent runs of 500 App IDs each complete in the same time as a single run.

---

Large App ID lists and missing games

Every run writes a FAILED_IDS record to its key-value store (Storage tab) listing each requested App ID that was not saved, with the reason:

Group	Meaning	What to do
notAvailable	Steam has no store page for this ID in the chosen country: removed, hidden, region-locked, or not a valid app ID.	Nothing; Steam has no data to return. Try another country if the game is region-locked.
failed	Steam did not give a usable answer after repeated retries.	Resubmit these IDs in a new run.
notAttempted	The run reached its timeout before these IDs were processed.	Resubmit, or raise the run timeout.

The run's status message and log summary show the same counts. For large collections, batches of 500 App IDs and up to 4 concurrent runs work well. The default run timeout of 60 minutes covers a 500-ID batch with reviews on and one or two countries; for many countries per game, use smaller batches or a longer timeout. If the timeout is reached, the run stops cleanly before the timeout and lists the remaining IDs under notAttempted.

---

Known limitations

• Some games have no store page in a given country (removed, hidden or region-locked). These are listed under notAvailable in FAILED_IDS, never charged.
• Age ratings and content descriptors are only present when the publisher has submitted them to Steam for that region; expect an empty ageRatings array on many smaller titles.
• Prices change constantly; records reflect the moment of scraping.
• Keyword search is bounded by Steam's own search paging (about 1,000 results per term).

---

Technical details

• Source: store.steampowered.com
• Coverage: any public Steam app by App ID, URL, keyword or store section
• Retry: automatic retry with backoff that waits out Steam's rate limits; unresolved IDs are retried in a second pass and reported in FAILED_IDS

Rate this actor

If this scraper does its job, a short review on the Reviews tab helps other users find it. Something not working? Open an issue on the Issues tab instead — issues get fixed.
