steam-db is a skimmed data dump of the Steam products. It doesn't include soundtracks, films, and some outlier products type are omitted as well.
It is meant to fuel the steam-game-finder web-app & browser extension, but since all the data is publicly accessible I made it available.
Note that while you should not point directly to this repo to fetch data, a copy of it is cached in github pages :
`https://nebukam.github.io/steam-db/app/${appid}/infos.json`A bit short of 2500 products info include data fetched from Co-optimus, namely the known number of players allowed in different game-modes and some others goodies.
A massive thank you to their team, without which the Steam game finder app would have much less immediate value as a tool to find relevant multiplayer games within a group of friends :)
The git is split in three main data bits :
Is a direct dump of the steam API call http:https://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/GetAppList/v0002/?key=API_KEY&format=json at the time of update.
Is the whole database in a single rather huge file, formatted as follow :
{
"appid":{
// app data
}
}Each entry is what you can otherwise be individually found through app/appid/infos.json
Each file contains some skimmed game infos in the following format:
{
// Steam app ID
"appid": 359550,
// Game verbose title
"name": "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege",
// Parent appid if DLC, otherwise empty string
"parentappid": "",

]
}
}The flag list matches the following map
(they're the most common flags I've gathered) :
⚠️ Some flag are inconsistently used by steam admin and are marked as such. (e.g the absence of such flag doesn't mean the game doesn't have the related features. i.e CS:GO is not flagged with any multiplayer features.)
I try to flag games based on existing tags as a fail safe, but this is not a rock-solid method.
