Any way to scrape steam for media from other storefront?

I'm trying to get my big box setup complete but any games I got from epic games or GOG don't have any video, like GTA V for example. I was just wondering if there was a way to have it scrape for media from steam rather than epic etc.
 

Thanks for any help

Only way currently is to add an additional app with the steam launch url ("steam://rungameid/{steamappid}" without quotes and replace "{steamappid}" with the app ID of the game in question. You can then scrape for Steam. Remove the additional application when done (optional).

Gotcha, I've never used the add app section before so sorry if this is a dumb question, but where do I put that url? There's application Name/Path/ and Command line perameters. Do I just put it in parameters and call it steam?

 

Sorry just a little confused

Nah I should have been clearer. Yeah, anything can go in the name, if you want to mimic the importer you would just call it "Play Steam Version" (without quotes). You would put the string I told you about in the Application Path. Command line parameters can be left blank.

Awesome that cleared it up for me, and worked perfect. Thanks a lot for the help! Hopefully we can get an option to choose where we scrape data from in the future?
