Support non steam games that have protonDB pages
Closed this issue · 5 comments
For non-Steam games, get the equivalent Steam app id if it exists then query ProtonDB
I don't know if you've started investigating this yet or not, but Steam has an API for getting all game titles associated with their
app IDs. The JSON result is about 8MB large, so maybe you could download it at startup and refer to it if a game can't be found.
While 8mb is fairly negligible I'd like to research if there are any other APIs available that allow you to search a game name (ideally fuzzy) and return an appId if applicable
If not calling that once on plugin init isn't too bad
Haven't found anything that matches what I want above so building a poc with the api you linked @EMERALD0874 👍
So it may only be 8mb but its a lot of data. Trying to process it on front end seems to (understandably) lock up the main thread :P
Potentially we can run and cache this on python backend then check against it by sending a request containing game name from front end?
Or I'll try harder to find an api that already does this
Found a new API used by Steam Community that may work. Keep in mind this only works with games that have community pages. Games that have been taken down from Steam (ex. Fall Guys, Rocket League) do not appear. https://steamcommunity.com/actions/SearchApps/overcooked
