GET /steam/category/{slug}

Browse a store category (tag) with weighted community tags

Returns a catalog slice for a community tag / category via Steam's keyless IStoreQueryService, carrying each item's WEIGHTED community tags, review-score breakdown, developer/publisher credits, release date, platforms and price. The slug is a numeric tag id or a tag name (case- and separator-insensitive, e.g. rogue_like); resolve ids via /steam/tags/list. Ordering is Steam's default relevance — for sorted or os/price-faceted browse use /steam/tags. Credential-free public Steam store query API.

API key required. Paste a full key or rotate one from the API Keys page.
