Scrape the complete review history for any Steam game using Steam's official cursor-paginated JSON API. Unlike competitors that return a single page, this actor exhausts the full cursor chain — retrieving every review for titles with hundreds of thousands of entries.

What you get

Each output record includes the full review body plus reviewer-quality signals ideal for brigade detection:

• Review content — full text, recommended/not, language, timestamps
• Reviewer signals — total games owned, prior review count, playtime at time of review (key for detecting low-effort reviews from new accounts)
• Engagement metrics — helpful votes, funny votes, comment count, Steam-weighted helpfulness score
• Purchase context — Steam purchase vs. external key, received for free, Early Access flag
• Per-game aggregate — review score, score description (e.g. "Overwhelmingly Positive"), total positive, negative, and total reviews (joined onto every row for easy analysis)

Use cases

• Review-bomb detection — filter by date range + author_num_games_owned / author_playtime_at_review_min to identify coordinated low-quality reviews
• Sentiment tracking over time — combine date range filters with full history to build time-series sentiment charts
• Competitive research — compare game_review_score_desc and positive/negative ratios across competing titles
• QA & community signals — extract the most-voted reviews by votes_up for customer feedback analysis

Rate limits & performance

Steam's review API is unauthenticated and generous. The actor uses a 350ms inter-request delay and fetches 100 reviews per page. For a title with 100,000 reviews expect approximately 1,000 API calls; with maxItems set the run completes in seconds.

Multiple games

Pass multiple app IDs to process them in a single run:

{
"appIds":["440","570","730"],
"maxItems":500,
"language":"english"
}

Each app is processed sequentially; maxItems is applied per game.
