FAQ

Do I need a Steam account or API key? No. The Actor runs over Steam's public store API, so there's no account, no login and no API key to set up.

How many games can I get per run? Set maxGamesPerSearch (1–100) to cap top results per search term. Pass multiple keywords in searches, or target exact appIds, to scale a single run.

Can I download games or game files? No. This Actor returns public store metadata only — prices, genres, platforms, Metacritic scores and descriptions. It does not download any game files or DRM-protected content.

What's the output format? Flat, normalized JSON with one record per game and consistent fields, ready for a database or spreadsheet. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Can I get regional pricing? Yes. Set country (e.g. us, gb, de, br) to get localized price, priceCents, currency and discountPct for each game.

Can I connect this to other apps? The Steam Games Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. It works with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Drive and many more, plus the Apify API, JavaScript/Python clients and MCP. Or use webhooks to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.
