Steam Scraper

This allows you to grab data from steam pages.

To Use

const scraper = require("steam-scraper");

Then when you need to grab the data. Pass in the appId of the game you want data on and a callback when we have the data or an error has occurred.

scraper.getData(appId, (err, data) => {
  if(err)
    console.log(err);

  console.log(data);

});

This will automatically bypass age restrictions by passing in cookies to get around them.

This should work with most types of apps (games, movies, software, etc) but the data returned is focused around games.
