API Key Request

[GamersDatabase]

I'm the developer of Gamers Database app. I'd like to request a key for the new API.

Hi GamersDatabase,

You've been given access to the API, you can find your key here.
if your app has active users, I'd recommend using the legacy subdomain as you adapt your code to the new API.

please keep an eye on the forum for any changes to the api, the next planned change would be to change the way dev/publishers are listed

Thank you!

I'm currently running a web service that checks thegamesdb.net once / hour and pulls all the game data that has been updated since the last check. I then service the app from my own database.

With the new API will there be a limit to the number of requests? I haven't had a chance to review the new API docs, but with the old API, if there were a lot of updates on any give day, my server may produce quite a few queries to thegamesdb.

Thanks for all the hard work you guys put in! I have around 1000 users / day and based on my logs the app is driving quite a few people to thegamesdb so they can add/edit game information.

The current monthly limit is 1000 queries, with 20 calls per query allowed, for 20000 total calls.
That's 20000 basic entries, or 10000 entries with screenshots and fanart.
We'll be considering app-key limits on a case-by-case basis once those are fully implemented.

just to clarify, its 1000 calls, each call can return 20 results, and the update api will return 100 entries per call, so even with the limit, you can make about 33 update call per day, but lets say 1 call every hour, which will give you few spare calls if the changes excessed a single page.

You've already filed for an API key twice, this is your third request - and hijacking another project's thread is exceptionally poor form.
What reason do you have for requesting multiple keys, or have you simply not checked the API Key page yet?
