Claude: (uses the Steam connector) Top of Steam Most Played on 2026-10-20:

Ask Claude or ChatGPT about Steam and it guesses from training data that is months old, or runs a web search and summarizes blog posts. No current numbers, no history, no dates.
It reads Steam directly: concurrent players, most played now. Every answer has the real numbers and the date they are from.
Click your app. It opens with TrendsConnector already filled in. You sign in once with a free TrendsConnector account; there is no API key to copy.
