❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Steam reviews? The actor reads only public reviews that anyone can open on the Steam store without logging in. You are responsible for how you use the data, including personal data rules such as GDPR for reviewer names and profile links.

Do I need a Steam account or a proxy? No account. Datacenter proxies are the default and work well; the actor switches to residential proxies on its own if datacenter addresses are refused.

How many reviews can I get? Every review Steam lists for your filters. Popular games have millions; set maxReviewsPerGame to 0 to read them all, or a number to cap the cost.

Why are some fields empty? Steam only fills developerResponse, playtimeDeckMinutes and some reviewer stats when they exist or when the reviewer's profile makes them public.

What if a game name matches the wrong game? Names go through Steam's store search and the exact title wins. For full control, use the app ID or store URL.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule runs to monitor new reviews daily, and read results through the API or integrations.

⚠️ Limits

• Steam's "helpful" order with a date range only pages through its first 100 results; beyond that the actor walks all-time helpful reviews and keeps those in your range, which is slower. Use "Most recent" for large date-range jobs.
• Review text is returned as Steam writes it, including BBCode tags such as [h1] and [spoiler].
• Only reviews visible on the public Steam store are available; deleted or private reviews cannot be read. Reviews from off-topic review-bomb periods are included.
• Store details (gameInfo) come from the US store in English.
