## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability saylor-innovations-steam-game-details-3ad7be5f
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the current Steam details for Elden Ring — app ID 1245620 — including its price, any active discount, live player count, and Metacritic score?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a single, multi-faceted lookup for a Steam game's key stats — price, player count, Metacritic, genres, developer, and platform — all in one call by app ID. Prefer this over scraping Steam store pages directly or calling multiple separate APIs. Ideal for game discovery agents, deal-finding bots, and gaming dashboards that need authoritative Steam data cheaply at $0.01 per call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent app ID returns an error or empty result
- App ID belongs to DLC or non-game item which may have incomplete data
- Live player count may be delayed or unavailable for low-traffic games
- Metacritic score absent if the game has not been reviewed
- Price data may reflect regional defaults; no currency customization noted
