IGDB

How it works:
  • Choose a relevant category for your idea and check to see if any other users have already submitted this suggestion before creating your own
  • Be clear with your suggestion, provide examples and solutions to the problem you are posing. Suggestions without actionable feedback may be closed without comment
  • Upvote existing ideas, as opposed to creating multiple similar requests
  • Be sure to share your suggestion with others to gain more support!
  • Note: Suggestions are not guarantees that we will take action on an idea. We will try our best to communicate why an idea may not work, but may not always be able to share that information.
  • Titles that are unclear or unnecessarily vulgar may be reworded to better reflect the request for ease of discovery


If you need help:
This forum is for ideas only. If you need help, please check out our help portal for tons of articles that may answer your questions. If you still need help, you can reach out to our support team in the help portal as well!

Appeals or commentary on suspension decisions, support requests, suggestions disparaging others, and non-constructive feedback will be closed without comment.

  1. 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.

  2. I looked in the API documentation, but didn't see this. If I'm mistaken, please point me in the right direction!

    A create game endpoint would streamline the game submission process. This would help with smaller indie web-based, browser games.

  3. Cannot post images but basically the title. I see this critics score on a game that displays 50% instead of 83%:

  4. 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…

  5. I'm experimenting with the image api. I would like to get the size of the image before downloading it to be able to calculate downloaded percentage from it.

    Currently this is not possible as the api doesn't send the Content-Length in the header. Requesting the image https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_1080p_2x/ar4v3.jpg using Postman I have the below headers:

    {
    "Content-Type": "image/jpeg",
    "Transfer-Encoding": "chunked",
    "Connection": "keep-alive",

  6. Also to record the great personalities of the videogames: Hideo Kojima, Satoru Iwata, Fumito Ueda, Shigeru Miyamoto...

    I sincerely believe that this is the only thing that this site is missing.

  7. I have several pending edits and contributions from two weeks ago, and I’ve read on Reddit that it’s because Twitch has laid off quite a few people from IGDB, which is why they’re swamped with work.

  8. The popular category 'Games + Demo's' currently has missing cover art.

    I reached out to the IGDB team and they said "As these specific categories are directly handled by Twitch and generally handled internally, it would best be submitted to their UserVoice" with that being said, I would like to submit a piece of Cover Art for approval for the category.

    As I can't attach a photo, here are my two submissions (I prefer option 2):

    1) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GBw7CcibkAA7a85?format=jpg&name=small (Alternative link: https://imgur.com/Fl9OeNW)

    2) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GBw7DBkb0AA9C7o?format=jpg&name=small

  9. Top 10 games, Just Chatting, new AAA game launches, and special events get enough coverage via their massive audience. One of the suggestions from creators in terms of discoverability is to stream lesser known games to lessen competition.

    My suggestion is to add a shelf that compiles all directories that are sub 200 viewers into a single shelf on front page to allow visibility to lesser known titles. This could allow groupings of smaller creators to showcase games, collaborate, and be recognized without feeling the need to always play the top 10 games to reach the ceiling of viewership.

  12. Often (if at all), users will enter a source or reference link in the Comments of an edit when this isn't something that can't be added to the existing Websites (news article, second Community Wiki, dev Twitter post, etc). This often gets lost or forgotten later when a new edit is added, becoming a back and forth.

    If there could be a way to add something like the [#] links on datapoints to show the sources of an edit without having to look through years of changelogs. That would help greatly, both in review and transparency.

  14. Hi,

    I'm using Twitch for music production live mostly so I use the "Music" category all the time and as a primary category now it's a bit bland so I'm submitting a cover art for the "Music" category :

    https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_original/co8gws.png

    Also, I've tried to make a new IGDB page for "Logic Pro X" program as a game. Music is an art but also some kind of ludic hobby for most people so imo it could be defined as a sandbox text game don't you think ?

    https://www.igdb.com/games/logic-pro-x#about

    If not I'm also submitting the creation of "Software" category where Logic Pro…

  15. The game Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee critic score rating show the highest score on your entire system of 10.0 points: https://www.igdb.com/games/oddworld-abe-s-oddysee , but it has not professional background report like on the rest of games: https://www.igdb.com/games/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt/reviews.

    I though that somehow the game got that critic score as some kind of bug probably?

    This make it appear the first game on the lists that use the API to make lists and filter the games per score.

  16. If you include the 'search' option in the multiquery, only the id fields are returned in the results. For example the following query
    query games "game" {
    fields name;
    search "gta";
    };
    Will return an array of games but will only include the id field

  17. While there is the Amstrad CPC and Amstrad PCW, the GX4000 (which was Amstrad's only attempt at a home video game console) is not listed. It even had its own library of games (some enhanced for it).

    Would it be possible to add that?

  18. From what I understand and experienced getting your changes approved on IGDB can take anywhere between 4 to 14 days, not longer. It would be good if there was a page that showed a list of changes currently waiting for approval from IGDB Admin so you could see where your changes were in the pipeline. I saw on the Discord that an announcement said that a week ago or so the oldest changes to be approved were about 14 days old. Keeping this list in public gives us an estimate on when our edits will be reviewed.

  20. Hi,

    I'm looking to filter games by their media (either digital or physical) but I have an issue with media response which is always empty.

    Here is an example:

    https://api.igdb.com/v4/external_games

    -with body : fields countries, category, media; where game = 1187;

    -response :

    [
    {
    "id": 145250,
    "category": 3
    },
    {
    "id": 245373,
    "category": 14
    },
    {
    "id": 1998977,
    "category": 14
    }
    ]

    Category enum is working but there is no response for Media Enum = 1 or 2...

    Is this normal?

    Thanks for your answer and have a nice day!
