Octo Games Metrics

This repository provides a tool to scrape game data from SteamDB and Reddit. It collects information about game subscribers, player counts, game names, and their identifiers from SteamDB. Additionally, it fetches mentions of the game from Reddit using the Reddit API. All this data is visualized in a chart for easy analysis.

To get started, clone the repository and install the necessary dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/ChewBaccaYeti/Octo_games_metrics.git

cd Octo_games_metrics

npm install

Usage

Start Proxy Server

The proxy server is used to fetch data from SteamDB and Reddit. To start the proxy server, run the following command:

npm run server

This will start the server on localhost:5000.

Start Local Development Environment

Once the proxy server is running, you can start the local development environment:

npm start

This command will start the webpack development server on localhost:9000. You can now view the dashboard in your browser.

Technologies Used

Node.js: For backend server and proxy server handling.

Webpack: For bundling the front-end assets.

SteamDB API: For scraping game data like subscribers, player counts, and game identifiers.

Reddit API: For fetching mentions and posts related to the game.

Highcharts: For visualizing the data in charts.
