Steam Store Search Scraper

Scrapes game listings from the Steam store based on a search keyword. It uses Puppeteer with stealth mode to navigate results and extract detailed game data.

Key Features

• Search & Scrape: Finds games on Steam using a provided keyword.
• Comprehensive Data: Extracts title, price, platforms, release date, review scores, and capsule image URLs.
• Stealth Mode: Uses Puppeteer stealth to avoid detection.
• Configurable Limit: Set a maximum number of results to collect.
• Automatic Pagination: Handles infinite scrolling to gather all available results.

How to Use

Provide a search keyword. Optionally, set maxResults to limit the scrape. The actor will navigate Steam's search, collecting game info until it hits the limit or runs out of results.

{
  "keyword": "war",
  "maxResults": 100
}

• keyword (required): The search term for finding games.
