What You Get for Every Product

Structured product data from Steam store search

Steam Search returns the products the Steam store lists for a search, parsed into clean JSON. Narrow a search by product type, platform, language and discount, sort it, or leave out the search terms to browse the whole store.

Products: Title, store link, capsule image, release date and the operating systems each product runs on, with its Steam app id, or its package id and the app ids it includes.
Prices and Discounts: The price as Steam shows it and as a number, the original price and discount percentage of discounted products, and whether a product is free.
User Reviews: Steam's review label, the number of reviews behind it and the percentage of reviewers who recommend the product.
Filters: Games, software, DLC, demos, soundtracks, playtests, videos, mods or hardware, products for Windows, Mac or Linux, products that support a language, and discounted products.
Sorting: Relevance, newest, name, lowest or highest price, user reviews, or the latest Steam Deck compatibility review.
Countries and Languages: Prices in the currency of the store country you choose, and titles, release dates and review labels in 31 languages.
Adult Content Control: Adult content is left out by default, as on the store for a visitor who is not signed in. Set safe to off to include it.
Pagination: Page through the results with 25 to 100 products per page.
