Hi Charinger!
At the present time, we are trying to keep API access to ongoing development efforts.
If you're using a different project, you're not required to have your own key, only if you're developing your own scraper.
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-)

I request access to your api to scrap data for some personal project :
- develop a software on Mac to create and update the gamelist file of recalbox.
- create a software on iPhone to see content of my library.

And as professional iOS developer, and French people, may be I can help your team for some project (translation, iOS app, etc ...)

Thank you for your interest!

thank you for your offer, however at this moment we do not have any official apps to update/translate.


however, this project is open source and can be found on GitHub https://github.com/TheGamesDB/TheGamesDBv2 if you feel like you could help please have a look. just note that dev is usually the most up to date version of the site, though it may lag a little bit with recent changes.
