CheapShark API
Overview
CheapShark aggregates PC game deals from major stores like Steam, GOG, and Humble Bundle, letting you search for the lowest current price on any game. No API key is required — just make HTTP GET requests and receive JSON responses. It's ideal for building deal alert bots, price comparison tools, or shopping assistants.
Beginner Tip
Use the 'title' parameter with a partial game name to search broadly, then narrow results using 'storeID' — store IDs are listed in the /stores endpoint.
