Steam Store Snapshots
This repository contains data snapshots of the list of apps on the Steam store.
Data
Data can be fetched from the following API interfaces:
ISteamApps
IStoreService
ISteamApps
A request is made to the following endpoint:
https://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/GetAppList/v2/?
ISteamApps
does not require any argument.
IStoreService
A request is made to the following endpoint:
https://api.steampowered.com/IStoreService/GetAppList/v1/?key=is_here_but_hidden&max_results=50000
IStoreService
should be called with the following arguments:
key=is_here_but_hidden
: your access key,max_results=50000
: the number of apps to return at a time. Max is 50k.
Your access key is secret, and can be:
- either your WebAPI key,
- or your OAuth access token.
Please refer to the explanation below to figure out your secret key:
Usage
An example script main.py
is provided to load JSON data.
It can be run as follows:
python main.py
Output:
[ISteamApps] #apps = 107911
[IStoreService] #apps = 48792
Depending on the API interface, the data snapshots are different. As of January 9, 2021:
ISteamApps
retrieves about 108k apps,IStoreService
retrieves about 49k apps.
The discrepancy is likely due to the fact that:
ISteamApps
retrieves games, DLC, software items, hardware, videos and series,IStoreService
only retrieves games (if used with the default request arguments).
Unofficial API: GameDataCrunch
GameDataCrunch provides an unofficial API to retrieve the list of apps on the Steam store.
It can be an alternative if you don't have an access key for the official API.
A Python package gamedatacrunch
is available on PyPI.
