Steam Game Reviews Scraper — Player Ratings & Sentiment

Pull player reviews, ratings, playtime and sentiment data for any Steam game by App ID. Get review text, voted_up flag, helpful votes, language and purchase status for market research, competitor analysis and game sentiment tracking.

How to use

Pass a list of numeric Steam App IDs. Find the App ID in the store URL, e.g. store.steampowered.com/app/730/ → 730.

{
"appid":["730","570","1086940"]
}

Returns up to 100 recent reviews per App ID (Steam's num_per_page cap). Covers all languages and all purchase types (Steam key + gifted + store).
