Better games API

Open voi-tech opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, I think I found a better game database than steam. Many people also play games that are not in the steam library, like Minecraft, Diablo, etc. Link: https://www.igdb.com/api

I did take a look at that one when I looked for a game API, but https://www.igdb.com/api requires a twitch account. That ensues handling sensitive client tokens and secrets, which I honestly do not want right now.

If you implement a working version yourself, I am more than happy to merge it into the plugin.

I will give this the wontfix label, for now, to signal that this is on the backburner.

But thanks for the suggestion :)

I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but my understanding is that the IGDB gets a lot of its data from the Giant Bomb API. Maybe that would be preferable to use: https://www.giantbomb.com/api/
