Output Columns

Command	Columns
top-sellers	(see existing top-sellers row schema)
search	rank, id, name, price, currency, metascore, platforms, url
app	id, name, type, isFree, releaseDate, developers, publishers, price, currency, metacritic, recommendations, genres, categories, shortDescription, website, url

The id column on search round-trips into app — it's Steam's numeric app id (also visible in the storefront URL store.steampowered.com/app/<id>/).

Notes

• price is the storefront's localized final price expressed as a decimal (e.g. 9.99), not cents. The accompanying currency column gives the ISO code.
• --currency is a Steam country code (us, cn, jp, de, ...). It controls both pricing and regional availability — some apps return success: false outside their licensed regions; the adapter raises EmptyResultError with a hint when that happens.
• metascore / metacritic are returned only when Steam has a Metacritic mapping; otherwise they are null.
• HTML entities in name and shortDescription are decoded (e.g. " → ").

Prerequisites

• No login required (public APIs /api/storesearch/ and /api/appdetails).
