Steam Reviews Scraper

Scrapes game reviews from Steam Community pages. Provide a reviews page URL, and the actor will extract detailed review data, handling pagination automatically.

Key Features

• URL-Based Scraping: Starts from a complete Steam Community reviews page URL.
• Automatic Pagination: Scrolls and loads reviews until it hits the end of the list or your item limit.
• Comprehensive Data Extraction: Captures:
  • Review text, title, and date.
  • Recommendation status (Recommended/Not Recommended).
  • Helpful counts, awards, and hours played.
  • Author details (name, profile URL, avatar, products owned).
  • Developer responses and comment counts.
• Smart Deduplication: Removes duplicate reviews based on their detail page URLs.

How to Use

1. Get a Reviews URL: Go to Steam Community, navigate to a game's reviews page, apply any filters (like "Most Helpful"), and copy the full URL from your browser.
2. Configure the Actor: Provide the URL in the searchUrl input field. Optionally, set a maxItems limit.
3. Run it: The actor will scrape the reviews and output a dataset.

Example Review URLs:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/730/reviews/?browsefilter=mostrecent
https://steamcommunity.com/app/271590/reviews/?browsefilter=mosthelpful
