# Steam Review Summary API

The totals behind the review badge: how many reviews, how many recommend the app, and the score.

`GET /v1/steam/apps/{appId}/reviews/summary` returns `data.summary` with `totalReviews`, `positive`, `negative`, `score`, `scoreLabel` and `percentPositive`. `language` can be `all` (the default) or any supported language name or short code, and `data.language` echoes the result. `purchase` selects the purchase types: `all` (the default) counts every review, `steam` counts Steam purchases only, which is the figure on an app record, and `other` counts activated keys and free copies. `data.purchase` echoes the choice.

`score` runs from 0 to 9, where 9 is overwhelmingly positive, and `scoreLabel` is Steam's own wording. `percentPositive` is null when the app has no reviews. This route returns the totals only, so use the reviews route when you also need the review text.

## FAQ

### How do I get a Steam app's review totals?

Call GET /v1/steam/apps/{appId}/reviews/summary. Read data.summary.totalReviews, positive, negative, score, scoreLabel and percentPositive. Pass language to limit the totals to one language and purchase=all or purchase=steam to choose the purchase types. purchase=all is the default and counts every review.

### What do score and scoreLabel mean?

score is Steam's 0 to 9 review score for the selected reviews, and scoreLabel is its wording, such as Very Positive or Overwhelmingly Positive. Both are null when there are no reviews to score.

### Does it return individual reviews?

No. It returns totals only. Use GET /v1/steam/apps/{appId}/reviews for pages of reviews with text and author details. The two routes share the same review summary shape.

### What happens for an app that does not exist?

data.lookupStatus is not_found and data.summary is null. HTTP 200 still means the request finished. Branch on lookupStatus before reading the totals.

### How many credits does a review summary cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth.
