Datasets API endpoint

Search steam-playercounts dataset API

Searches the daily concurrent-player time series for tracked games (one document per appid × day). Pair `app_id` with `sort=date_desc` for a game's player-count history, or pass `date` for one day's snapshot. Sort enum: `date_desc` (default), `date_asc`, `players_desc`. Billing: this search costs 1 credit per record returned, with a minimum of 2 (an empty result costs 2, a full page of 100 costs 100).

How this endpoint behaves

Searches the daily concurrent-player time series for tracked games, stored in a search index. One document per app × day (appid × snapshot_date), so re-crawls accumulate a player-count history. Pair app_id with sort=date_desc for a single game's player-count trend, or pass date for one day's cross-game snapshot. Returns structured player-count records without triggering live scraping (for a live reading use /steam/players).

Dataset id enum:

steam-playercounts

Query parameters:

app_id: optional exact Steam app id filter. Pair with sort=date_desc for an app's player-count history.
date: optional snapshot date filter, yyyy-MM-dd.
sort: optional sort enum: date_desc (default), date_asc, players_desc.
page: optional page number, defaults to 1.
page_size: optional page size, defaults to 20 and maxes at 100.

Each record carries appid, name, snapshot_date, player_count (concurrent players for that day), and crawled_at.

Response behavior:

Defaults to newest snapshots first (sort=date_desc).
The maximum result window is 10000; page * page_size must not exceed 10000.
Invalid sort values return the standard invalid params envelope.
A not-yet-populated index returns an empty items list rather than an error.
Does not trigger live scraping.

Billing

1 credit per record returned, minimum 2. A search that returns 20 records costs 20 credits, a full page of 100 costs 100, and an empty or one-record result costs 2. You are charged for what comes back, not for the page_size you ask for, but your balance must cover the requested page_size for the call to be accepted. The response header x-credit-cost shows what a call was charged.
