A Python-based data crawler for gaming information, focused on scraping data from Steam.

• Scrapes detailed game information from Steam
• Easy setup and execution
• Designed for data analysis or personal projects

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.8+ – Download Python
• pip – Python package manager (comes with Python)
• uv – Install globally using:

  pip install uv

Follow these steps to set up the project:

1. Clone the repository

   git clone <your-repo-url>
   cd gaming_crawler

2. Navigate to the scripts directory

   cd Scripts

3. Sync dependencies with uv

   uv sync

4. Run the Steam scraper

   python steam_scraper.py

Once installed, the scraper will fetch the latest gaming data from Steam and store it locally (or as defined in your script configuration).

Quick start:

cd gaming_crawler/Scripts
python steam_scraper.py

• Ensure Python is added to your system PATH for commands to work globally
• If you encounter permission issues when installing uv, try:
  • pip install uv --user (installs for current user only)
  • sudo pip install uv (Linux/Mac with admin privileges)

Happy Scraping! 🎮
