steam_stats
steam_stats is a python command-line utility to extract data from Steam games based on their appids.
Data collected include:
- number of positive reviews
- number of negative reviews
- developers
- publishers
- plaforms supported
- genres
- release date
- etc.
The script get_ids.py is included to fetch appids of Steam games (several options: all steam games, owned, wishlisted).
Requirements
- pandas
- requests
- unicode
Configuration
All the scripts need a config.ini file with a valid steam api key and a steam id (see config_sample.ini for an example).
If you want to extract latest price information from IsThereAnyDeal, you can also set it in the config file. You will need to create an API key on their website and use steam_stats with the --export_extra_data parameter.
- Sample config.ini file :
[steam]
api_key=api_key_here
user_id=user_id_ere
[itad]
api_key=api_key_here
Installation
python setup.py install --user
Usage
You can use the get_ids.py script to export a list of appids (see below).
steam_stats expects a readable csv file with a column appid containg Steam appids as input.
Given a steam_games.csv file containing :
name;appid
Dead Cells;152266
Wizard of Legend;445980
Hollow Knight;367520
Lethis Path of Progress;359230
Banished;242920
You can call steam_stats with the command :
steam_stats -f steam_games.csv
