What SteamDB is
SteamDB is a free, independent database for the Steam catalog. It brings together product information, player charts, regional price history, update histories, discovery pages, search, patch notes, and a Steam account calculator. Its charts use player counts returned by the Steam API: SteamDB says the current top 800 games are refreshed every five minutes and other games every ten minutes. A browser extension adds details to Steam pages, including regional lowest prices, player counts, update dates, owned or wishlisted product highlights, and links. It is offered for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge; Firefox and Edge are also listed for Android. SteamDB has no native Android or iOS app, though its website is a Progressive Web App that can be installed on a device’s home screen. SteamDB says it interfaces with the Steam network through SteamKit and mostly relies on Steam’s update system to identify changes. It does not currently offer an API, and automated scraping or crawling is not allowed. The site provides data as-is without guarantees of accuracy, completeness, or timeliness.
