Program to request data on upcoming game releases using the IGDB.com API & its Python wrapper.
Set up your Twitch credentials to use the IGDB.com API.
Instructions to do so can be found here: https://api-docs.igdb.com/#account-creation
Create a .env file to host your Client-ID (CLIENT_ID) and App Access Token (AUTHORIZATION).
CLIENT_ID=Your-Client-ID
AUTHORIZATION=Your-App-Access-TokenParameters can be adjusted as needed.
current_time can be adjusted to output all games releasing in the future.
limit_value can be adjusted to change the number of results returned by the API per POST request.
total_entries can be adjusted to change the overall number of results outputted.
alltime_entries can be used to indicate the starting point of the search since the API orders searches by ID number. Useful to skip entries that have already been outputted onto a csv file.
want_release_date indicates if the outputted results will have games with an announced release date (value of True) or games with TBD as a release date (value of False).
Running the script will output a timestamped .csv file in the root folder of the repository.
