IGDB.com support for Gamepedia?

Post by FrozenTrout »

There's a great site for video game information, IGDB.com, and they have an API. They were actually just acquired by Twitch, but still running independently. Is there any way to add them as a source for game info? There's a lot of gaps even with the currently available sources!

Thank you for the tip. Signed up for the API and will include it when I update plugins, in a couple of weeks.

Any update? My biggest problem with Gamepedia is lack of game search results, and having to manually enter into, which is a HUGE hassle for a large library.
IGDB has since been purchased by Twitch, and the API is now free for noncommercial use, but can talk to them (I know they have someone on their Discord sever you can message) about commercial use.
