Manually entering game ID

Post by Stuffu »

Wrote another post but that didn't seem to show up, so sorry in case this creates a double post.

Anyway, I'm trying to sort out a few missing games that a scraper can't find. Earlier on I've used the manual ID to find the games but I forgot how the string should look like. id=xxxxx didn't work.

Can anyone help out?

Thanks

IIRC, EmulatiomStation used to allow manual selection by id:xxxxx, though I don't know for sure that they're current with the API revisions.
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-)

if the scraper can't find them, chance is, they're still using the old API, aka any game with id greater than 60k is not available on old api.

Thanks for replying! Yes, the scraper uses legacy tgdb but I guess you can still use the old api? The thing is that I find the games on legacy tgdb.com, but the scraper don’t find them. I’ve been using ID before to force games but have forgot the string for that...

So I’ll need legacy api’s I forgot to mention.
