  1. 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:

  2. Web application for IGDB

    Currently, when you add IGDB to your home screen it opens in the browser, this could be changed to make it look like a native application.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. 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.

  10. 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!

  11. 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.

  12. Hi,
    We should be able to indicate the language of the review, when we write a new one.
    And the page of the game (https://www.igdb.com/games/***/reviews), we should be able to filter reviews throught a language list.
    Default value should be define on the profile, wich could be reuse on both situations (writing, filtering)
    Thanks !

  15. Hi! It would be really great to include something like an 'input' option so you can find games with native gyro aiming.

    I'm always trying to find good gyro coop fps games to play with my girlfriend (I can only really do it with gyro) and it takes a LOT of google searching, it's a massive pain..

    I don't think it's necessary to include Steam gyro, just eg PS4 / PS5 and Switch games that have it built in.

    There's hardly any games so it wouldn't take long to have it all complete, but the list is hopefully growing, especially…

  17. It would be great to have a quick way to view the games you have played and not yet rated. Sometimes I might forget to rate the game and I do not want to spend a long time comparing the list of played games to rated games to see which ones got missed and the same is true the other way around. Even if we could download the list of review games via CVC (like we can with played games) then I could easy use a duplicates search function on excel to do this. It is really annoying when the…

  19. It would be nice to have the possibility to add additional information when adding a game to own lists such as:
    format (physical or digital);
    purchase date and price;
    started and finished date (multiple times for multiple playtroughs).
    But, more importantly, the possibility to track individually different versions of the game; I might have completed a game on a platform, finished on another and playing on another one.

  20. Add the information about the game achievements/trophies.
    I know there are dozen of websites doing it, but today it is to be considered a fundamental information of a game release.
    We might argue about the possibility for the users to track the obtained one, but a list of available attainments should be displayed on a game entry.
