Implement Games API

Hello, this is Bing. According to the web, one of the good and free APIs that can query all games regarding their image, genre, franchise and more is the RAWG Video Games Database API¹²³. It is a large and open video games database that provides information on over 500,000 games across all platforms and genres. It has endpoints for developers, games, platforms, genres, franchises and more. You can use it to search for specific games, find similar games, get recommendations and more. It is free to use up to 5,000 requests per day¹.

I hope this helps. 😊

Hello, this is Bing. According to the web, the IGDB API¹² is a video game database API that allows developers to access data on games, genres, platforms, companies and more from IGDB.com. It is free for non-commercial usage under the terms of the Twitch Developer Service Agreement². To use it, you need to sign up with Twitch for a free account, register your application, generate a client secret and make requests using HTTPS and JSON².

I hope this helps. 😊

• The IGDB API is free for non-commercial usage under the terms of the Twitch Developer Service Agreement, while the RAWG API has a significant monthly fee for non-commercial projects¹.
• The IGDB API provides data on games, genres, platforms, companies and more, while the RAWG API provides data on games, genres, platforms and more²³.
