NEW: Steamworks Wishlist Data API

Briefing

Steamworks has rolled out a Wishlist Data API that enhances the existing sales data access introduced in summer 2025. This API allows developers to analyze wishlist metrics for their titles, providing insights not only into overall totals but also breaking down data by country and language for the first time. This granularity is crucial for developers looking to optimize localization efforts and understand regional market dynamics.

The API operates under the same financial permissions as the Sales Data API, making integration into analytics pipelines straightforward. With data updates occurring regularly, developers can expect timely insights, especially during peak sales periods. This new tool empowers developers to make informed decisions and refine their strategies based on actual wishlist data, ultimately enhancing their game's visibility and success on Steam.

“This API allows for more granular analysis of localization and regional performance.”
