Automated Bulk Scraper from Steam (Metadata & Videos)

[marcosgaming]

Hi guys,

In the past, I used SRXZ's old plugin to scrape metadata directly from Steam, and it even downloaded video trailers, which was fantastic for my collection. However, after the latest LaunchBox updates, the plugin no longer works properly and fails to download videos.

I reached out to the developer of SRXZ, and despite my very polite message, he asked for €1,000 to update it. Furthermore, while that plugin worked well, it only worked on a per-game basis: you had to manually paste the Steam link for every single game. Since I'm planning to import a new batch of around 1,000 games, I'm looking for an automated solution that scrapes exclusively and directly from the Steam website.

I have an active EmuMovies subscription, but I don't really like how it handles metadata for PC/Windows games. If someone could build a tool or plugin for this, it would be amazing.

With the help of AI and a bit of coding knowledge, it might even be doable without too much trouble.

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Mark.
