Steam Reviews Scraper — Game Reviews, Prices & Tags

Steam Store & Reviews Scraper

Scrape Steam games and user reviews: search results, app details (price, discounts, tags, genres, release date, developer, platforms) and reviews with votes, playtime and language.

Steam Store & Reviews Scraper reads the public JSON endpoints behind store.steampowered.com and turns them into a clean dataset. Three modes cover the whole funnel: search a keyword and get every result with price, discount and review score; pull details for any app ID (price in your region, user tags, genres, categories, release date, developers, Metacritic, achievements, DLC); or collect reviews with helpful/funny votes, playtime, purchase type and language, plus a per-app review summary (total positive/negative, "Very Positive"). No Steam account or API key is needed and mature (age-gated) games work. Download JSON, CSV or Excel, or use the API from Python, Node, n8n or Google Sheets. You pay only for the items you get.

How to scrape Steam reviews for a game

Set Mode to reviews and paste the app ID (the number in the store URL, store.steampowered.com/app/570/...). Reviews are read newest first, 100 per page, until Max items, Max reviews per app or the end of the list is reached, so a full history export of a game with 50,000 reviews takes 500 requests. Use Review language english to keep only English text, Review type negative to mine complaints, and Reviews order all to get Steam's most-helpful reviews first. The summary item gives the global totals so you can compute the positive ratio without downloading everything.

Monitor changes on a schedule

Turn on Only new or changed items and save the input as a task with a Schedule (Apify Console: Saved tasks -> Schedule, for example daily). Each run then remembers what earlier runs of the same input returned and outputs only what is new: new reviews in reviews mode, and apps whose price, discount or release date changed in details and search mode. Unchanged items are skipped before they are saved, so they are not charged; the per-app review summary is output on the first run only. Add Only reviews newer than (2 days, 24 hours or a date like 2026-10-01) to bound how far back the first run reads; reviews are then read newest first and paging stops as soon as a page reaches older or already-seen reviews. Monitored items carry changeType (new or changed) and, for changed apps, previousValues with the old values of the fields that changed (e.g. {"price": 19.99}). Use Monitoring key to keep several schedules on the same input apart.

Does it work without a Steam account or API key?

Yes. Everything comes from the public store endpoints that the Steam website itself calls when you browse logged out; no Steam Web API key, account, session or cookies from your browser are needed. Mature (age-gated) games are handled automatically.

How to get Steam game prices and discounts

Use Mode details with the app IDs and set Country code to the store region you care about (us, gb, de, br, jp, ...). Each app item carries price, originalPrice, discountPercent and currency for that region, plus isFree and comingSoon. Schedule the Actor to track sales over time. For a quick overview of many games, Mode search returns price, discount and review score for every result in one request per 100 games.

Can I get Steam user tags, genres and Metacritic scores?

Yes. details mode returns the top 20 user-applied tags (tags, with vote counts in tagsDetailed), store genres and categories, metacriticScore, recommendationsTotal, achievementsCount, DLC IDs, supported languages, screenshots and trailer links.

What does it cost?

Pay per item: a review costs a fraction of a cent (a summary item is charged as one review), an app-details item a little more because it needs two requests, and a search result sits in between. There is no start fee and no subscription; Apify's free plan is enough to collect tens of thousands of reviews.

Integrations and API

Use the run in Zapier, Make, n8n, Google Sheets, or call it from Python/Node with the Apify client. See the API tab for ready-made snippets, or schedule the Actor to keep a review feed or price history fresh.

Is it legal to scrape Steam?

This Actor collects only publicly available data that Steam shows to anyone without an account: store listings, prices and user reviews. For each review it exports the reviewer identity Steam shows next to the review: display (persona) name, public profile link, custom profile handle when set, and Steam ID, plus the playtime and library/review counts Steam prints on the review. It does not log in, does not open user profiles and does not collect avatars, online status, emails or other contact details. Reviewer names, handles, profile links and Steam IDs are personal data under GDPR and similar laws: make sure you have a lawful basis for processing them, and do not use them to contact or profile individuals. You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with Steam's terms and applicable law.
