Game Giveaways API
Free game, DLC, in-game loot and beta-key giveaways as an API, powered by GamerPower — the tracker of currently-active, limited-time giveaways across every store and platform. Where a games catalogue lists what exists and a deals feed lists discounts, this API tracks what you can claim free right now before it expires. /v1/giveaways returns the live giveaways, filterable by platform (steam, epic-games-store, gog, ubisoft, ps4, ps5, xbox-one, xbox-series-xs, switch, android, ios, vr and more), by type (game, loot, beta) and by sort order (date, value, popularity) — each giveaway with its id, title, retail worth, type, the platforms it covers, the end date, the direct claim URL, thumbnail and cover image, a short description and how many users have already claimed it. /v1/giveaway?id=3664 returns a single giveaway's full detail with description and step-by-step claim instructions (it returns found:false when that giveaway has already expired, since giveaways are time-limited). /v1/worth returns the number of active giveaways and their total estimated retail value in USD, optionally filtered by platform and type. Ideal for "free games this week" widgets, deal-alert and Discord/Telegram bots, gaming-news sites and savings trackers. Distinct from game catalogues and price/deal feeds — these are claim-it-free, time-limited offers. Data from GamerPower (free to use).

Free-to-Play Games API
A catalogue of free-to-play games as an API, powered by FreeToGame — a curated database of the best free PC and browser games. /v1/games browses and filters the free-to-play library by platform (pc, browser or all), by category/genre (mmorpg, shooter, strategy, moba, battle-royale, racing, sports, card, survival, fantasy, anime and dozens more) and by sort order (release-date, popularity, alphabetical, relevance) — each game returned with its id, title, genre, platform, publisher and developer, release date, thumbnail image, a short description and the play and profile URLs. /v1/game?id=452 returns a single game's full detail: a long description, release status, screenshots, and the minimum system requirements (operating system, processor, memory, graphics and storage). Filters are applied upstream and verified to genuinely narrow the results, so a search for one genre never returns another. Ideal for game-discovery and recommendation sites, gaming dashboards and launchers, deal and "what to play" tools, and Discord/Telegram bots for gaming communities. Every game listed is free to play (free-to-keep or free-to-start). Data from FreeToGame, free to use. Use a game id from /v1/games for the detail endpoint.

Speedrun API
Video-game speedrunning data as an API, powered by speedrun.com — the central community hub where players submit and rank their fastest completions of video games. This API turns that catalogue into clean JSON. /v1/games?name=mario searches the game database, returning each game's id, name, abbreviation, release year and weblink. /v1/categories?game=o1y9wo6q lists a game's run categories — the different ways a game is raced, such as Any%, 100%, 120 Star or Glitchless — with each category's id, type and the rules that define a valid run. /v1/leaderboard?game=o1y9wo6q&category=wkpoo02r returns the leaderboard for a game and category: the ranked runs with the runner name(s), the finish time both in seconds and in human-readable form (e.g. 1h 35m 14s), the date of the run and a link to the run video where available (top caps how many runs, 1-100). The natural flow is games to categories to leaderboard. Ideal for gaming dashboards and record trackers, stream overlays and bots, esports and community sites, and data analysis of speedrunning trends. Game and category ids are speedrun.com ids (e.g. game o1y9wo6q = Super Mario 64). Data from speedrun.com (free to use).
