Is there a Goodreads-style app for tracking video games, that has an API or RSS feed you can pull into your own site?
@sophie amazing, hope you find something. i haven’t looked into it yet, but if your ps / nintendo profile is public could you maybe scrape?
@carol yeah I should look into it. I want to automate as much as possible because I never remember to update these things
@sophie yeah same, i was gonna do a static one ages ago, but i just knew it would never be up to date 
@robb i'd hoped to just pull stuff from APIs with tokens in env vars but I think I'll need an actual db for this project 
@sophie My database is this JSON file https://api.rknight.me/api/data.json
@robb more in terms of storing oauth creds! not about to put that in JSON 
@sophie Yeah probably don't do that
@sophie not sure about API/RSS support, but ggapp.io and howlongtobeat.com may be worth checking out.
There's some limited experiments but doesn't look like a solution unfortunately.
I saw you mentioned also tracking just reading and https://indiebookclub.biz may be worth a look? Doesn't necessarily need to publish to your own site, it stores a copy you can then get API-wise
@www.jvt.me this is cool, I'll definitely take a closer look!
@sophie I’ve encountered but not used https://vglist.co. Open source Rails app, appears to have an API, etc.
@sophie I use Backloggd, it's pretty good at the tracking thing, and it has an RSS feed but it's only for the logs that you include a review with, so that what you're looking for?
Here's mine as an example: https://www.backloggd.com/u/rardk64/reviews/rss
“How long to beat” is a well known site that does what it says on the tin and also tracks user game lists, but the apps around it are community made and unofficial
@sophie Exophase works pretty well, but they don't have a public API yet: https://www.exophase.com/ They provide a card image you can embed on your site, and you can scrape your data from the site pretty easily. Here's an example of a Python script I wrote that imports my Stadia (RIP) play time from Exophase into InfluxDB: https://github.com/c99koder/personal-influxdb/blob/master/stadia.py
