Api Key Request

Post by squiz »

Hi,

I'd like to request an API Key please. I'm working on a node app to accompany emulation station https://emulationstation.org on Windows, as the built in scraper has broken. My aim is to have a node app running alongside emulationstation that populated the game xml files. My node app will ask for an emulation api key on first run and will be made public for anyone's use. I know there are other front ends our there, but I just love emulation station.

Once completed, the node app will function as middleware between emulation station and thegamesdb.net, so the scraper built in to emulationstation can function again.

Many thanks,
Sqz

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-)

Also note, I strongly recommend basic testing using the public (IP-based) key, then syncing with the private key, and using the public key for future updates.

Please note that keys will not to given to individual users, but the app/script/plugin will need to use public key given to you... or at the very least, a dev that maintain that project or a dev consuming that project in their own project.
