If you need to pull Steam Reviews data at scale and there's no clean official API, this guide shows how to export it to JSON, CSV or Excel in a couple of minutes — with no scraping code to maintain.
We'll use the Steam Reviews Scraper - Game Reviews & Sentiment, a hosted scraper on the Apify platform. You only need a free Apify token — no Steam Reviews login, no proxies, no reverse-engineering.
What data you get
Each run returns structured records with fields like:

Results are paginated automatically — you can pull thousands of rows per run and export them as JSON, CSV, Excel, JSONL or XML.
