Skyscraper, a versatile game scraper

Post by muldjord »

A powerful and versatile yet easy to use game scraper written in C++ for use with multiple frontends running on a Linux system. It scrapes and caches various game resources from various web sources, including media such as screenshot, cover and video. It then gives you the option to combine all of these resources into the most complete results by using the provided 'localdb' scraping module.

I am currently testing the new API implementation in Skyscraper. It will be released later today, if all goes well.

2.5.0 released using the new API. Currently using the public key with a 1000 monthly request limit (as my app key seems to have stopped working, which had a 3000 request limit), so be aware that 'thegamesdb' is ONLY suitable for very small scrapings. All users should update to this version following the documentation here (check the chapters on installation or updating, depending on whether you already have Skyscraper installed or not): https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper

Hello,

I was thinking of building mine but I just found the Grail.
I hope it works as exactly as you wrote it :)

Thanks
