Steam Regional Price Data: fetch 60 regions in one run for $1.05/1K
Steam has a public API that provides regional pricing data for games, but it requires multiple requests to gather comprehensive information. A new tool allows users to fetch data for 60 regions in one run for a low cost. This tool is particularly useful for developers and analysts interested in understanding regional price differences.
- ▪Steam's API returns regional prices one currency at a time, necessitating multiple requests for a complete dataset.
- ▪The new Apify Actor can fetch pricing data for 60 regions in a single run for approximately $1.05 per 1,000 results.
- ▪The data includes detailed pricing information, such as initial and final prices, discount percentages, and local currency formats.
