Board Games API

healthy 3,973 Subscribers

The BoardGameGeek community ranking of 17,000+ board games as an API — a self-contained reference for game, hobby, recommendation and quiz apps. For each game the API returns its BoardGameGeek id, name, year published, community rank, average user rating, the Bayesian ("geek") average, how many users rated it and links to its BGG page and thumbnail. Look a game up by name or id, search by name (best-ranked first), list the top-ranked games, or list the games published in a given year. The ranks and ratings are a BoardGameGeek community snapshot (2019), while the catalogue of games, ids, names and publication years is a stable reference. Served from memory — always fast.

Epic Games Store Free Games API

Live free-games promotions from the Epic Games Store. The games that are free to claim right now (with the window they are free) and the ones becoming free soon — each with title, description, publisher, original price, store slug, cover image and store URL. The iconic "Epic free game this week" as a clean API for gaming, deal-alert, calendar and dashboard apps. Distinct from cross-store deal aggregators — Epic's own giveaways.

GOG API

Live game catalogue & prices from GOG.com (the DRM-free PC game store by CD Projekt). Search the store for any game and get its current price with discount, genres, developers, publishers, rating, review count, release date, supported OS, cover image and store link; open one game by id for its full detail (description, OS compatibility, release, store URL). Ideal for gaming, deal-tracking, library and price-comparison apps. Distinct from game-giveaway and deal aggregators — GOG's own catalogue and live prices.

Bangumi Media Database API

Subject ratings, rankings and collection stats from Bangumi (bgm.tv, "番组计划"), the Chinese cross-media community database for anime, books/manga, music, games and live-action drama, read keyless from its public v0 API. Bangumi is China's "Douban for ACG": a two-decade catalogue where users rate and collect titles across every medium and the community score and rank are what fans trust. Unlike the anime-first databases (MyAnimeList, AniList), Bangumi spans games, books, music and TV/film too, and exposes a collection breakdown — how many users wish for, are doing, have completed, put on hold or dropped each title — that is its own distinctive engagement signal. The search endpoint finds subjects by keyword, optionally filtered to one medium and sorted by rank, match or score. The subject endpoint returns one title's full profile by its Bangumi id: its Japanese and Chinese names, medium, date, community score and vote count, overall rank, the full collection breakdown, tags and summary. The calendar endpoint returns the anime airing each day of the week, with their scores. This is the Bangumi cut — a distinct social and reference platform, separate from the anime-first feeds and the other media databases in the catalogue, spanning all media with Chinese community metrics. Scores, ranks and collection counts are the real, live community numbers; rank is null for titles with too few votes to be ranked. Names and summaries are Japanese and Chinese as Bangumi publishes them; an nsfw flag is reported honestly and adult titles are excluded from search. Keyless, a short cache fronts the upstream.

Steam Reviews API

Live Steam user-review sentiment as an API — what players really think of any game on Steam, served from Steam's public review data. For any game, looked up by its Steam app id or by name, it returns the aggregate review summary (total reviews, positive and negative counts, the positive percentage and Steam's own rating label such as "Very Positive" or "Mixed"), plus a sample of recent reviews with their text, whether the author recommends the game, helpful and funny votes, the author's playtime and the review language. Get the full reviews feed, the lightweight sentiment summary, or search Steam to resolve a game name to its app id. The community-sentiment layer for gaming, review and dashboard apps. Live, no key. Distinct from a Steam store-catalogue API — this returns the user reviews and rating sentiment, not the store listing.
