Video Games API
Video game metadata you can build a product on without a licensing bill: 31,336 games — every one with an English Wikipedia article — from Wikidata, CC0 public domain. Each game carries release year, platforms, genres, game modes, developers, publishers, series, official website, a notability rank and, for 8,369 titles, the Steam application id — resolve appid 1145360 to Hades (Supergiant Games, 2020) in one call. Search is token full-text ("breath of the wild" finds the Zelda you mean) with filters that answer real product questions: FromSoftware''s catalog led by Elden Ring, all 38 Legend of Zelda games, or every PlayStation 5 role-playing game since 2020 (Genshin Impact, Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring lead the 278). Famous games rank first everywhere via cross-wiki sitelink counts. New releases sync daily from Wikidata as they gain Wikipedia articles, and re-syncs fill in metadata as editors add it. Built for game discovery apps, Discord bots, backlog trackers, deal sites and gaming media. CC0 source data, self-hosted — no third-party calls at request time.
