I would like to create an excel sheet listing the user review scores of random games, along with the number of reviews overall. E.x:
Name | Review Score | # of Reviews |
---|---|---|
Random Game | 78% | 230 |
Another Random Game | 96% | 3021 |
I could have a website give me a game and log the information manually, but if possible, I would like to write some code to grab that data and populate it into a file so that I can quickly accumulate a few hundred or thousand entries.
I've done a bit of googling, and I'm not quite sure where to start. What would be the best method for pulling data from steam?
CodePudding user response:
You can either call their API on your own, or use steamreviews
library.
You could then download the webpage using Requests, and process the HTML using BeautifulSoup.
You can use the same method as above to find the exact amount of positive/negative reviews, as that is also available at the bottom of the page just above the review section as a filter.
