  1. I cannot seem to get versionparent or versiontitle fields back as my query returns a bunch of the same games and I am assuming it is a version thing like if I can filter by the main game only. I have even tried where parent_game = null and it doesnt seem to do anything

  2. The games under id 278599, 228456 and 6341 are only one game.
    It shouldn't have three page.

  3. I've noticed several games (it seems largely this happens with games that used to be one single entry but got split into a main game and ports) where the main game entry reports several platforms via the API that it no longer has in the web interface. If you go into try to change it, it seems to believe that only the single main platform is actually listed, but the API reports all of the platforms that had previously been associated with the game. A really good example is pulling the info for this game via the API:

  4. When trying to pull this game via the API, several items are blank including the game's name:
    https://www.igdb.com/games/dragon-knight-4

    IGDB's API response:

    {
    "msg": "success",
    "roms": [
    {
    "igdbid": 45959,
    "slug": "",
    "name": "",
    "summary": "",
    "url
    cover": "https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_cover_big/co4o3m.jpg",
    "urlscreenshots": [
    "https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t
    original/sc8wdv.jpg",
    "https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_original/sc8wdu.jpg",
    "https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_original/sc8wdw.jpg",
    "https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_original/scgoiw.jpg",
    "https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_original/scgoix.jpg"
    ]
    }
    ]
    }

    Unfortunately, I've noticed this isn't the only game that does this- but is definitely an example of it.

  5. 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!

  7. 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…

  8. I'm using the search endpoint to return game data including cover urls, then load those into HTML <img> tags with the src attribute. It has worked for quite a while, but just today I noticed that I'm getting 403s for all of the cover images.

    I posted a screenshot in the Discord #bug-reports channel.

  9. Was rating some old Nintendo 64 games: Yoshi's Story, Killer Instinct Gold, etc. and they weren't saving after refresh of page or restarting computer.

    Was using chrome so decided to try Firefox and that worked (ratings saved).

    When I return to chrome it now shows my rating but if I try to change it - it defaults back to the rating done in firefox when I refresh the page.

  11. /genres return the following array:
    [
    { id: 4, name: 'Fighting' },
    { id: 5, name: 'Shooter' },
    { id: 7, name: 'Music' },
    { id: 8, name: 'Platform' },
    { id: 9, name: 'Puzzle' },
    { id: 10, name: 'Racing' },
    { id: 11, name: 'Real Time Strategy (RTS)' },
    { id: 12, name: 'Role-playing (RPG)' },
    { id: 13, name: 'Simulator' },
    { id: 14, name: 'Sport' }
    ]

    containing only 10 genres but many /games have genre ids that are not listed in said endpoint.

    for example 15 & 32 : Strategy & Indie and some more

  12. I'm experiencing an issue where the maximum number of objects allowed by the "limit" property isn't being returned, despite that number of objects existing.

    Consider this query:

    {baseUrl}/games
    body (text/plain): fields name,cover.imageid,firstrelease_date,platforms.name;limit: 10;offset: 30;search "halo";

    It's currently only returning 9 objects, but a search on IGDB.com reveals that there are 73 total and other queries (e.g., offset 40;) give 10 results as expected.

  13. 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 Alphabetical

  15. Hi,

    I'm having issues with the APIs Pagination features. When making the following call the last item on the list of games is 'Pokemon Silver':

    request search "Pokemon";f id,name,cover.image_id,aggregated_rating,aggregated_rating_count,first_release_date,summary;l 20;w version_parent = null&category = 0;

    I then make this second call to get the second page of items, which returns 'Pokemon Silver' as the first result:

    search "Pokemon";f id,name,cover.image_id,aggregated_rating,aggregated_rating_count,first_release_date,summary;l 20;o 20;w version_parent = null&category = 0;

    At first I thought this was an issue with the offset, but if I search for another term it works okay. Any ideas what may be causing this?

  16. I submitted a game prologue, which was rejected because it was a demo.

    However, I marked that game as "played" before it was rejected. Now, I have a ghost "played" game, whose existence is given away by the game count.

    I would like to be able to remove that "ghost" game from the list, but it is not visible in the list, and I don't know its IGDB ID, so I cannot forge an API request to remove it from the list.

    A simpler fix would be NOT to count "ghost" games when counting the number of games in a…

    Hey! thanks for pointing it out. It seems to be due to a bug rather than a false release mind you. We’re taking a look!

    As a note, if you do spot some incorrect data you are able to edit and submit an update in case :)

    Thanks!

  20. When trying to tag my stream as the game Sonic the Hedgehog (the 2006/2007 game for Xbox 360 and PS3), it is impossible to tag in any list or drop down, be it Twitch, Twitch Studio, OBS, Streamlabs, etc. I see that the game is on IGDB, so why doesn't the game ever show up?
