Discount Data

Souvlaki420

I am trying to make a command to my discord bot that returns a list with all the games from stores like Steam, Epic Games and GOG that are currently in 100% discount. GG.deals is the only one I found that it has those info publicly available and more specifically in this page. The only problem is that as I know, there is no API to give these data to my app. I've tried contacting the owners two times for that reason through this form but never got any response. I even asked if I'm allowed to web scape the data I need from their website but still no response. That's why I ask the same here. Thanks.

We don't have API and we don't allow scrapping. If you want such feature in your bot, you should probably index stores directly.

rob006 Yeah I've tried that but never found a way to index those stores and get the data I need in the form I need them. This website is probably the only one that can help me get that data. That's the only reason I contacted you. So how do you get that data, manually or automatically with some way? Also why nobody replies to your contact form? Thanks.

Souvlaki420 We index stores websites or dedicated data feeds. Yes, it is not trivial, and this is the main reason why we are reluctant to share this data. If you want to help users of your Discord to find freebies, then redirect them to GG.deals. 😉 Or create a channel subscribed to https://gg.deals/news/freebies/feed/, as not all freebies are featured at https://gg.deals/deals/?minDiscount=100

Souvlaki420 Also why nobody replies to your contact form?

What subject did you use when sending the message? This determines the recipient of the message - I could dig what happened to your message, but I need to know who to ask.

rob006 I'm not really sure about what subject I used back then because it was weeks ago but I'm pretty sure it was either General enquiries or Technical enquiries. If something happened to my messages or any other ones I think you should add a notification email or something so I don't need to ask about that in the forum in the future? Also I'm not pretty sure how to use RSS in my bot as I haven't ever used it before in general. Is there any other ways l to get notified about the deals? I would prefer JSON for this situation. Thanks in advance.
