Steam data API

Read Steam's own data for every game: store pages, prices in every region, reviews, followers, players, tags, client records, news, achievements and store page changes. Free, no sign-up to start, JSON or XML.

Your key (optional, used by "Try it" and kept in this tab only)

Get a free key

Quick start

Every address starts with https://launchrivals.com/api/user. Ask for any game by its Steam app id; no key needed:

curl 'https://launchrivals.com/api/user/steam/1145360' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer lrs_…'   # optional

$ctx  = stream_context_create(['http' => [
    'header' => 'Authorization: Bearer ' . $key, // optional
]]);
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('https://launchrivals.com/api/user/steam/1145360', false, $ctx), true);

The answer is the full record of the game. Add /xml to the end of any address for XML.

Keys

A key is free and makes everything five times faster. Any LaunchRivals account can create up to 3 in Settings → Steam data once a Steam account is linked. Send it in any one of three ways:

How	Example	Good for
Bearer header	Authorization: Bearer lrs_…	Servers, bots, scripts
Key header	X-Api-Key: lrs_…	Tools that set custom headers
Query string	?key=lrs_…	Spreadsheets, quick tests (it shows up in logs, so keep it out of public pages)

A key that is sent but does not work answers 401; it never quietly falls back to the slower limit.
A key stops working when it is revoked, when the Steam account is unlinked, or when the account is closed.
With a key, a game's record also includes the studio's support email.

Rate limits

	Requests per second	Counted per
No key	1	IP address
Free key	5	Key

Every answer carries X-RateLimit-Limit and X-RateLimit-Remaining. Past the limit you get 429 with Retry-After (seconds); wait that long and try again. Answers may be cached for 60 seconds, so there is no need to ask for the same game twice in a minute.

Formats

JSON (default): …/steam/1145360 or …/steam/1145360/json.
XML: …/steam/1145360/xml or ?format=xml. Object keys become elements, list items repeat the singular of their parent (<tags><tag>, otherwise <item>), booleans are true/false, empty values carry nil="true".
UTF-8 throughout. Cross-origin requests are allowed from any site, so the API works straight from the browser.

Errors

Errors come in the format you asked for, with the HTTP status repeated in the body:

{
    "error": "We have no game with that id.",
    "status": 404
}

Status	Meaning
200	Here you go.
401	The key is unknown or revoked, or its Steam account is no longer linked.
404	No game or studio with that id, or no such address.
429	Too many requests this second; see `Retry-After`.

Conventions

Money is in the smallest unit of the currency: 2499 in USD is $24.99; currencies without cents (JPY, KRW …) are whole units.
Times are ISO 8601 in UTC (2026-10-23T19:08:53Z), dates are YYYY-MM-DD.
Release dates come with a precision: day, month, quarter, year or none; the date of a month or quarter is its last day, as on Steam.
null means we do not know yet; an empty list means there is nothing.
Everything is read from Steam's public pages and services; updated in a game's record says when each part was last read. Popular, upcoming and new games are refreshed daily, the rest of the catalogue regularly.

OpenAPI

The whole API as an OpenAPI 3.1 document, for Postman, Insomnia, Swagger UI or a client generator:

https://launchrivals.com/api/user/openapi.json

A game

GET /api/user/steam/{app_id} · /xml for XML

Everything we hold for one game: store page details, developer and publisher with their studio pages, release date, US price and the price in every region, purchase options, reviews, followers, players right now, tags with player votes, features, platforms, Steam Deck status, languages, links, screenshots, DLC, and the client record (depots, branches, latest builds).

Parameter	In	Type	Description
app_id required	path	integer	The Steam app id, as in store.steampowered.com/app/1145360.

support.email is included only when you send a key.
updated tells you when each part was last read from Steam.
Prices are in the smallest unit of the currency (2499 = $24.99).
