What does Steam Workshop Mod Scraper do?
Steam Workshop Mod Scraper extracts user-created content from the Steam Community Workshop, one of the largest platforms for game modifications, maps, skins, and custom content. It collects mod titles, descriptions, author names, ratings, subscriber counts, file sizes, and thumbnail images for any supported Steam game.
The Steam Workshop hosts millions of community-created items across thousands of games including Counter-Strike 2, Team Fortress 2, Dota 2, Garry's Mod, Cities: Skylines, and many more.
