Steam Comments Fetcher

Easily fetch all comments from a Steam Workshop item and export them into a neatly formatted HTML file.

No more Ctrl+F'ing on dozens of pages to see if you're the first person with an issue using a mod!

Features

• Fetches all comments from any given Steam Workshop item.
• Exports all comments to a single HTML file styled to match Steam’s appearance. (kinda)

Requirements

• Python 3.7 or higher
• Dependencies: requests and beautifulsoup4

Installation

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/thisaccountname/SteamyComments.git
cd SteamyComments

Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

or, depending on OS configuration:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the SteamyComments directory.
2. Run the script with a Steam Workshop URL, for example:

python steam_comments.py "https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3118990099"

Note: Make sure to provide the main Steam Workshop item URL (the one that shows the mod), not a direct link to its comment section.

The script will generate an HTML file named after the Workshop item title, followed by the current date and time.

Example

python steam_comments.py "https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3118990099"

Output: True Music Jukebox - All Comments - 20241108 16_46.html

Notes

• The owner_id is automatically extracted from the Workshop page, so you don’t need to worry about providing it.
• The generated HTML file is styled similarly to Steam’s comment section for a familiar look. (not perfect)
