Description

A Steam Store extractor would let mort track game prices — useful for a new eggwatch-style price monitoring feature but for games. This ties into the mortbux economy nicely: users could be notified of sales, or bet on whether a game will go on sale.

Proposed API

package steam

type GamePrice struct {
    AppID       int
    Name        string
    Price       float64
    OrigPrice   float64  // 0 if not on sale
    DiscountPct int      // 0 if not on sale
    OnSale      bool
    FreeToPlay  bool
    Currency    string
}

type Config struct{}
var DefaultConfig = Config{}

// GetGamePrice extracts price info for a Steam app
func (c Config) GetGamePrice(ctx context.Context, b extractor.Browser, appID int) (*GamePrice, error)

// SearchGames searches the Steam store and returns results
func (c Config) SearchGames(ctx context.Context, b extractor.Browser, query string) ([]GamePrice, error)

URL Patterns

Store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/{appid}
Search: https://store.steampowered.com/search/?term={query}

Notes

Steam has an age gate on some pages — the extractor would need to handle clicking through it
Prices are region-dependent — the browser's geolocation / store preferences affect what you see
Steam's HTML is relatively stable since they don't change the store layout often

Implemented in PR #47. Added sites/steam package with GetGamePrice() (by app ID) and SearchGames() (by query). Handles regular prices, discounts, free-to-play, age gate bypass, and USD/EUR/GBP currency detection. Full mock-based test coverage.
