Use it to:

• Track game prices and discounts across regions
• Monitor Steam sales and deals in real-time
• Build a database of game metadata (genres, platforms, reviews)
• Research competitors in the gaming market
• Get notified when specific games go on sale
• Compare pricing across countries

How to use

Step 1: Choose a scrape mode

Step 2: Configure and run

Set your country code for regional pricing, apply filters, and click Start.

Step 3: Export

Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the dataset tab.

Cost and performance

Tips

• Start with featured mode — it gives the best overview of what's on Steam right now in a single request.
• Use include_details: true only when you need rich metadata (descriptions, screenshots, reviews). It's slower because it makes one API call per game.
• app_details mode is best when you know exactly which games you want — it gives the most complete data.
• Combine specials mode with min_discount: 50 to find the deepest deals.
• Steam rate-limits at roughly 200 requests per 5 minutes. The actor adds a 1.5-second delay between detail requests automatically.
• App IDs are stable — they never change, so you can save them and re-use them for tracking.

Limitations

• Steam's store API is undocumented and may change without notice.
• Search results are limited to what Steam's search endpoint returns (some games may not appear).
• Intraday pricing changes are rare — Steam updates prices at sale boundaries.
• Some games in certain regions may show different content or be unavailable.
• The actor respects Steam's rate limits with built-in delays.
