# Suverse Steam Player Count

> Suverse Steam Player Count is a paid API for AI agents from proxy.suverse.io, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns the live concurrent player count for a Steam game given its app ID, sourced from the Steam Web API — no API key required.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability suverse-steam-player-count-1862a0c6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: How many players are currently online in the Steam game with app ID 252490 — I want to know if it's still got an active playerbase?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, keyless, real-time read on how many players are actively in a Steam game without setting up your own Steam Web API credentials. Ideal for agents that need to check game health, compare activity across titles, or monitor playerbase trends without infrastructure overhead. At $0.05/call it's cost-effective for spot checks and lightweight polling.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Steam app ID returns an error or zero count
- Steam Web API upstream unavailability causes request failure
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion on the proxy may return a 429 error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) returns a 402 error before the data call is made
