Data snapshot from SteamSpy

This is a data snapshot of 66,659 games:

• as downloaded on December 31, 2023 via SteamSpy,
• then aggregated with the piece of code shown below.

Here are the output files:

• appids.json contains the list of appIDs. Caveat: the order matters, because SteamSpy sorts data by decreasing number of owners, which is of interest to us!
• output.json contains all the data returned by SteamSpy.

import json
from pathlib import Path

NUM_PAGES = 70
TODAY = 20231231
OUTPUT_FNAME = "output.json"
APPID_FNAME = "appids.json"

data = {}

for page_no in range(NUM_PAGES):
    fname = f"{TODAY}_steamspy_page_{page_no}.json"

    with Path(fname).open(encoding="utf8") as f:
        d = json.load(f)

    data.update(d)

app_ids = [int(app_id) for app_id in data]

with Path(OUTPUT_FNAME).open("w", encoding="utf8") as f:
    json.dump(data, f, indent=2)

with Path(APPID_FNAME).open("w", encoding="utf8") as f:
    json.dump(app_ids, f, indent=2)
