  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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!

  6. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is currently pulling the description and cover art for the the 2026 remake on past broadcasts, highlights, and clips.

    As The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has a remake slated for release in 2026, there are two entries on IGDB bearing the same title:
    https://www.igdb.com/games/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time
    https://www.igdb.com/games/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time--1

    While both entries appear as categories on Twitch, since they share the same title, it appears past broadcasts are defaulting to refer to the most recent entry on IGDB.

    Oddly, live broadcasts are showing up with the cover art for the original game, but the corresponding…

  7. I want to stream The Room. However, Twitch shows 2 other games which are not The Room that i am looking for (IDs 2080844645 and 118195). Twitch also has the three sequels: The Room 2, 3, and 4..... but not one: https://www.igdb.com/games/the-room--1
    I tried opening a ticket with Twitch support, and they told me to create the IGDB page. When I tried to explain that it is already there, I was told to come here. I tried chatting with Twitch support, same exact result. So, I'm here. On the Edit page, it says "IGDB ID: 11625". In Edit > Websites,…

  10. On the website, the game Quake II (ID: 286) has 20 similar games, but the API only returns 10.

  11. Accessed from Amazon Games platform, using a PC. Exccutioner intro. Had built the prison with a few cells. Hired an executioner. Got message that Elf cells were unlocked. Had clicked on a downed enemy to see race. Your tutorial for the executioner snaped in. There was a green arrow pointing at nothing. Could not exit the prisoner to follow the on screen prompt to select a prisoner.

  12. The website shows that the company that developed Windows XP was Microsoft, but the API says it was the company "128". Interestingly, 128 is Microsoft's id in the API. I believe there is a bug in the return of information.

    Microsoft data from API
    https://api.igdb.com/v4/companies

    fields id, name, description;
    where id = 128;

    Windows XP data from API
    https://api.igdb.com/v4/platform_versions

    fields id, companies.*, companies.company.name, companies.company.slug, name, slug, summary, checksum;
    where name = "Windows XP";

  13. I am using the IGDB API to retrieve game information and have encountered an issue with the ReleaseDate table. According to the documentation, it should include a status (or statusId) field related to ReleaseDateStatus. However, when making a request for all fields in ReleaseDate, this field is missing from the API response.

  17. 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

  18. 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:

  19. 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.

  20. 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…
