API Key request

Post by toastbot »

Hello, I'd like to get access to the API please so I can catalog and organize my collection. It's for personal use, and I would probably only need to hit it maximum 10 times a month.

Thank you!

Hi!

We require a bit more information to issue project keys.

If you're going to use AttractMode, Spectabis, Sselph, Skyscraper, or EmulationStation, no key is required and will - at best - not work due to obsoleted endpoints.

Otherwise, please let us know how exactly you plan to use the API, as private servers should work perfectly fine with the latest version of any of the above listed projects.

Thanks in advance!

We're curious to see how new projects use TGDB API.
If you have a new public project, please provide a link to it so we can highlight cool new applications! 8-)
