Scrape all Steam reviews from a specific profile
This script uses BeautifulSoup to do some very basic web-scraping and retrieve the reviews for a given user account. The profile must be set to public visibility.
Free software: MIT license
Installation
pip install archive-steam-reviews
Usage
By default it will only retrieve the first page of reviews, and print to stdout. As the review page is sorted by most recently changed, usually the --all switch is only be needed for an initial dump of all existing reviews. If more than ten reviews are published and/or edited between running the script, the parameter is needed to get all changes.
When using --save, each review will be stored in a text file named with the Steam App ID the review is for (unfortunately the game name itself is not available for scraping without an additional request). The file will have a YAML frontmatter with some metadata (Steam URL, playtime, date of review, …) and the review (converted to Markdown) as the post body. As such, it is ready for use in Hugo, similar static site generators or other purposes.
