Note: the categories, screenshots, and supportedLanguages values above are trimmed for readability. The real record returns the full lists; every value shown is exactly as returned (the language list drops Steam's * full-audio markers as it appears in supportedLanguages).

The most complete Steam store scraper available. It returns every field a Steam store page exposes for a game, plus derived review and pricing fields (positivePercent, priceInitial/priceFinal, discountPercent), and gives you search-by-keyword and search-by-app-ID inputs with a pricing region to target exactly the games you need.

What it does

The actor resolves each search query to matching Steam store games, fetches the full store detail for every game (and for any app IDs you pass directly), and writes one normalized record per game to the run's dataset. Prices are converted from Steam's integer cents to decimal amounts in the currency of the region you choose, review counts and sentiment are pulled from the community review summary, and a positivePercent field is computed on top of the raw positive and negative counts so you can sort without extra parsing. Missing source values are returned as null.

Data covers public Steam store pages. Price and currency reflect the countryCode (pricing region) you pass.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns up to 10 games matched across the three queries, priced in US dollars.

{
  "searchQueries": ["portal", "elden ring", "counter-strike"],
  "countryCode": "us",
  "maxGames": 10
}

You can search by keyword (searchQueries), by exact Steam app ID (appIds), or both. Every input is optional; provide at least one query or app ID to get results.

Input reference

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
searchQueries	string[]	no	(empty)	Game titles or keywords to look up on the Steam store, one per line (for example portal, elden ring, counter-strike). Each query is resolved to matching Steam games.
appIds	string[]	no	(empty)	Specific Steam app IDs to fetch directly (the number in a store URL, for example 730 for store.steampowered.com/app/730), one per line.
countryCode	string	no	us	Two-letter country code used for the pricing region and currency (for example us, gb, br, de, mx).
maxGames	integer	no	10	Maximum number of games to collect across all queries and app IDs. Range 1 to 1000000.

Queries and app IDs are combined; the actor collects up to maxGames games in total across both.

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~steam-games-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries":["portal","elden ring"],"countryCode":"us","maxGames":10}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~steam-games-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"appIds":["730","400"],"countryCode":"br"}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/steam-games-scraper \
  --input '{"appIds":["400"]}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per game returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors or matches nothing, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 games per run. Upgrade for higher maxGames.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? No query or app ID matched a Steam store page. Check the spelling of your searchQueries or confirm the appIds are valid store IDs. Zero-result runs are not charged.

How do I get prices in another currency? Set countryCode to the region you want (for example gb, br, de, mx). priceCurrency, priceInitial, priceFinal, and priceFormatted all follow that region.

Can I fetch an exact game without searching? Yes. Pass its Steam app ID in appIds (the number in the store URL, for example 730 for Counter-Strike 2).

Why is metacriticScore or supportEmail null? Not every game exposes a Metacritic score or a public support contact. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

Is this an official Valve or Steam tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with Valve or Steam. It reads only data that is publicly available on the Steam store.
