Common workflows
- Community moderation log — pull weekly snapshots; diff to detect deletions or content edits.
- Active-member leaderboard — group by
steamid64 and count comments to surface your most-engaged members.
- Toxic-content sweep — pipe
comment_text through ChatGPT for slur / harassment classification on large groups.
- Abandoned-group archival — Steam doesn't notify on group archival; export the wall now if the group's activity is fading.
- Cross-group correlation — same SteamID64 active across multiple groups can identify community ringleaders or potential moderators.

FAQ
Steam Group Comments Exporter — FAQ
Is the Steam group exporter free?
The free tier (no signup) returns up to 100 comments per group. Larger comments and CSV/JSON require a paid plan: Personal 5,000, Premium 50,000, Business 250,000. See
pricing.
Does it work on private groups?
No — only public groups are accessible without authentication. Make the group public for the export window if needed.
Are SteamID64s included?
Yes — the persistent 64-bit Steam ID. Use it to look up profiles via https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/<steamid64>.
Are deleted comments included?
No — only currently visible comments. Schedule weekly exports if you want a deletion audit.
Can I export many groups at once?
Yes — bulk URL upload on a paid plan processes each URL as a separate export and bundles the resulting files in one ZIP (one file per URL).
Is there an API?
Yes — JSON-over-HTTP
API on Premium and Business plans.
