Datasets API endpoint
Use Crawlora's Steam games dataset item API to search or inspect stored structured datasets as JSON. This page includes request parameters, cURL examples, response schema, validation behavior, credit cost, and a Playground link for testing before integration. Dataset endpoints read indexed records and do not apply proxy routing.
/datasets/steam-games/items/{appid}Returns one enriched Steam catalog record by appid from dataset id enum value `steam-games`. Developers commonly use this endpoint for repeatable dataset search, filtering, facets, local business enrichment, analytics, exports, and internal tools that need structured records beyond the limited manual refinement available in the Google Maps app. Authentication uses the x-api-key header, usage is metered with the credit cost shown on this page, and the request does not trigger live scraping or proxy routing.
Request parameters are generated from the active endpoint catalog. Dataset parameters filter, page, facet, or locate stored structured records; they do not configure a live scraper or proxy path.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| appid (path) | integer | Yes | Steam app id | ||
| x-api-key (header) | string | Yes | API key required |
curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/datasets/steam-games/items/%3Cappid%3E" \ -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY"
Send your scraping API key in the x-api-key header. Use the console API Keys page to rotate or select the active key.
Endpoint usage is metered in credits. The plan prices, included credits, limits, and overage rates below match the active backend billing configuration.
| Plan | Price | Included credits | Daily cap | Rate limit | Overage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 2,000 | 500 daily credits | 5/min | No overage |
| Starter | $9/mo | 20,000 | 5,000 daily credits | 15/min | $0.75/1,000 overage credits when enabled |
| Growth | $29/mo | 100,000 | 25,000 daily credits | 45/min | $0.45/1,000 overage credits when enabled |
| Pro | $79/mo | 400,000 | No daily cap | 120/min | $0.30/1,000 overage credits |
| Business | $199/mo | 1,200,000 | No daily cap | 300/min | $0.20/1,000 overage credits |
| Enterprise | $499/mo | 5,000,000 | No daily cap | 1,000/min | $0.12/1,000 overage credits |
This endpoint reads stored indexed dataset records. It does not execute a live upstream Google Maps request, browser session, or proxy-routed scraping job.
- Returns `404` when the appid is not present in the stored dataset. - Returns the standard invalid params envelope when `appid` is empty or non-numeric. - Does not trigger live scraping.

Crawlora does not silently return invalid dataset search results when filters, pagination, coordinates, or stored record lookups cannot be satisfied.
| Status | Common failure case |
|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid input, missing required parameter, invalid enum, bad coordinate pair, or result window beyond the dataset limit |
| 404 | Requested stored dataset item is not present |
| 429 | Plan or endpoint rate limit exceeded |
| 500 | Internal dataset query or storage error |
When possible, Crawlora returns structured error context so your integration can adjust filters, page size, location inputs, or lookup identifiers.
