How to Scrape Steam Reviews — Free No-Code Guide (2026)

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:

  • type
  • appId
  • name
  • genres
  • priceCurrent
  • metacriticScore
  • releaseDate
  • recommended
  • reviewText
  • language
  • reviewerPlaytimeTotal
  • votesHelpful
  • timestampCreated
  • scrapedAt

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

Option 1 — No code (Apify Console)

  1. Open the actor: https://apify.com/logiover/steam-game-reviews-scraper
  2. Click Try for free.
  3. Leave the input empty for a broad sample, or set the fields below.
  4. Run it, then Export the dataset as CSV/JSON/Excel.

Option 2 — Node.js

npm install steam-game-reviews-scraper
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
const scrape = require("steam-game-reviews-scraper");

(async () => {
  const items = await scrape({}, { token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
  console.log(items.length, "results");
  console.log(items[0]);
})();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
