API Searches don't return games that exist on the IGDB site I'm having an issue where preforming API searches doesn't return games that exists on the IGDB site.
For example, these two Pokemon games exist on IGDB:
https://www.igdb.com/games/pokemon-x
https://www.igdb.com/games/pokemon-yBut when I search via the API I get no results back.
I'm searching this endpoint:
https://api-v3.igdb.com/gamesAnd here's my search body:
search "Pokémon x"; fields id,name,cover.imageid,firstrelease_date; where cover != null; limit 5;I get an empty JSON result.
47 votesHey there.
Search in the API is indeed in need of a big overhaul, this is planned and in our backlog, unfortunately it isn’t on our immediate roadmap and therefore not currently being worked on.
Apologies in the meantime, we will keep our API community up to date as soon as work on this feature begins. -
Treat null as zero When sorting an API request on e.g. totalratingcount descending, I'd expect the highest numbers to be at the start, and games with no ratings to be at the bottom. This is currently not the case, where games with no ratings (null) are at the start. This essentially makes the sorting function broken. Please treat null as zero in the API so that these games appear at the bottom of the response as expected.

Events API endpoint returns wrong times I just implemented the events feature in my project and one user noticed I have all timings wrong. Everything is one hour too late. I searched for the issue on my end for a while, but then I saw that the API endpoint answers with the time one hour too late.
For example, the Xbox Games Showcase 2024 (IGDB ID 493) answers with 1717956000 as a start_time. That would be Sunday, 9. June 2024 18:00:00 UTC. But the event is at Sunday, 9. June 2024 17:00:00 UTC.
This is not only an error in this specific event, but all events…

Age Ratings Covers Not Being Produced When using the "games" endpoint w/ the python igdb-api-v4 wrapper, the query used to get the age ratings covers (ESRB, PEGI, etc) should be "ageratings.ratingcover_url" but it never succeeds in providing the cover url, but it also never returns an error saying the information isn't available or that the query was structured wrong.
Here's my full example I'm using (so far) that doesn't produce a result:
# This is in python3 wrapper.api_request( "games", 'search "' + game_name + """\"; f id, name, first_release_date, age_ratings.rating_cover_url, cover.url, platforms.name; limit 20; where first_release_date != null; """All the other "data.thing"s work…

Follow attribute not returned The 'follow' attribute for a game is never returned from the API.
For example, I would expect the following query to return "follows": 466 (as per the website).fields name, follows, hypes;
where name ~ "last of us: part";
limit 10;Instead, I get:
"id": 26192,
"hypes": 325,
"name": "The Last of Us: Part II"5 votes

Hey there, we don’t actively support Follows (and Hype) as a data point. We need to update our documentation to reflect this, apologies.
Follow is part of the private endpoint we are sunsetting.

Custom Lists Sorting Bug in Downloable CSV I'm not sure if this is the right category to report website bugs such as this one, but I recently noticed the "default" sorting orders of my custom lists aren't showcased properly on the downloadable CSV, but the public page will be sorted ok and correctly numbered.
Thanks in advance!

All my "played" statuses disappeared from my list, and if I set them again now, they don't save. All my "played" statuses disappeared from my list, and if I set them again now, they don't save.

Making a platform's game listing has all the games at once. When you filter by alphabetical order or Rating or release date the list is different but the number of pages does not change.
An example is PS1 since the alphabetical order A - Z page 54 ends up in the letter D and from Z - A page 54 ends up in the S. Which means that games with initials E to R do not appear in alphabetical order however in other orders they appear and others do not Final Fantasy VII appears in the order by Rating but not by Release Date or Alphabetical4 votes -
platforms you own When you click on the personalize button on the home page, there is no Playstation 5 or Xbox Series XS options there. It should be there?
4 votesHey! Yes that is absolutely correct the new gen platform should be there.
We’ll take a look into that, thank you for pointing it out! -
Reference ID types don't work with the array AND syntax When using a reference ID field, such as requesting https://api.igdb.com/v4/games/ where release_dates.platform [48,49,6]; as shown in an example in the API docs, the API returns a syntax error "You are trying to compare and exact array with an non array field: platform". This seems to be true of any field which is a reference ID when using this syntax. the array OR syntax (48,49,6) works fine.

Company Website only exposes official websites The Company Website endpoint exposes only official websites and not the other types (e.g. Wikipedia, Twitter, …). E.g. https://api.igdb.com/v4/companies/56?fields=websites.* returns only https://www.valvesoftware.com even though https://www.igdb.com/companies/valve/edit shows the other links too.

Banished (2014) shows as Banished (2023) in recently streamed category. I recently streamed Banished, a city building game, but on my recently streamed categories and past broadcasts it shows and links to a different game of the same name. I went back to see what I had set it as in my stream info and it was the correct Banished, so even though I selected the right game, its showing as the wrong one after finishing my stream. Checked other streamers who played banished (2014) and its the same problem.

Apex Legends bug I don't know exactly if I can report this here or if someone already did, but I was checking Discord Activity Settings and which games support natively and it said IGBD provides the information about that.
The thing I want to report is about a game that is not recognized properly. It is Apex Legends, the executable that is on your database is the Easy Anticheat "STARTPROTECTEDGAME.EXE" and not the actual game, so when you open the game on steam, origin or anywhere, it detects it is opening, but when that process end (Starting the anticheat), discord thinks…

API sporadically responds with 401 We are having issues with the IGDB API since roughly 2024-09-28 10:46 UTC where we see sporadic 401 Unauthorized responses. Most of the time the API works as expected but every 5 or so requests return a 401.

Events Endpoint -> Invalid live stream URLS The following event id's have invalid live stream URL's:
414, 414, 411, 410, 402, 486 - YouTube account no longer exists
Not sure sure if it's a bug, but there is also:
171 - Odd stream URL - The only 1 outside YT
308, 335, 486 - Stream url is private / unlisted
The endpoint also returns multiple types of YouTube URL's. While I've made a function to detect which one and parse out the video id, it may help to have a consistant URL scheme, at least in regards to YT URL's.
