mr_dito: Does someone know where to find the boxart images (= cover image used in Galaxy) for the owned games?
Former gog-db.info had provided respective image links, Yepoleb's gogdb.org unfortunately misses this information.
You can find them using this API link;

https://api.gog.com/v2/games/1499274528

Just replace the number at the end with the ID for the game you want (from GOG database if you don't know it or know where to get it) and look for the link to "boxArtImage" like this: "boxArtImage":{"href":"https:\/\/images.gog-statics.com\/1685d6473cd40e63fd75cf22284e3fcde4daf4e176a1b511d5381 0cb9e570bc7.jpg"}

If you know what you're doing you could write a script to extract it pretty easily, otherwise just find it on the page (it's usually not too difficult to spot it).

Hope that helps! :)

Works like charm! Thanks a lot for your help :)

mr_dito: @Yepoleb: Do you have plans to also include these box art images in near future? :)

Yepoleb: Yes, if I ever get to updating it, I will add that.
That are great news, thanks in advance!

Thank you Yepoleb
I use gogdb very often.
I come to consult your work with every purchase, I go through pcgamingwiki.

The information from "Downloads" and "Changelog" are the most valuable to me.
_To verify that there is a Linux version.
_And for the current version:
Sometimes a game doesn’t work on my OS, and I ask for a refund, when I see a new version on gogdb I buy it again.

And I’m looking for the engine and if the version is 64-Bit, on pcgamingwiki.
I admit that I never look at the price history.
But for the rest, you are an indispensable source of information for me.

I have a request for you, Yepoleb
I wanted information about Wasteland 3, and the upcoming arrival of the currently delayed Linux versions.
By consulting "Wasteland 2" I thought that the Linux version had just been removed by inXile.
I immediately logged into GOG to check my downloads.
Fortunately everything is fine, just a little fear:-D

If you can find the time to update Wasteland 2, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you again for your work.

Are you sure you were looking at the right package(s)?

Both the old version and the director's cut have linux download links on gogdb.

It's ok, cheers.

Also, could you look into why the database doesn't track the Linux version of Northgard - Brundr & Kaelinn, Clan of the Lynx (when it does for Northgard and all other DLC)?

Unfortunately there is still no Linux installer for that DLC.

Hey, I'm alive and I've been working on a new version of GOG DB for the last couple of weeks. As I've written before, the current updater is a big mess in terms of readability and performance. The biggest changes are deprecating pygogapi and integrating all its necessary components directly into the updater and switching from a relational database (PostgreSQL) to a non-relational one with custom indexes (currently that means just plain JSON files, but that might be replaced with some very optimized key-value store later). This effectively means a full rewrite of the updater and many parts of the site, so there's still a lot of work ahead. While the focus is mainly on restoring the site to a non-broken state, the rewrite also adds some new API data (yes, this includes the boxarts). I hope to be able to present something working soon (meaning in less than two months). Until then, feel free to leave me some feature suggestions, I might just include them.

xoxo Yepoleb ;)

Yepoleb: switching from a relational database (PostgreSQL) to a non-relational one with custom indexes
That's quite the paradigm shift. Is it for performance reasons or just more optimal coding?

While I'm not a fan of SQL in all cases, analytics and NoSQL rarely mix well. You might get better performance and cleaner code out of NoSQL (in most cases), but you'll be sitting on top of a pile of (big) data with hardly any way of looking at what's going on in it outside of whatever code you're strapping it to. Just something to keep in mind :).

Yepoleb:
Awesome news.
... even more so when coupled with the imminent disappearance of MaGOG.
That said, my main request stays the same, listing of regional prices (and restrictions) as MaGOG does.
Other than that, any work on changelogs to keep as much track as possible of changes since GOG often does not will be welcome. Might there be a way to associate official changelog updates with file changes, to list (or link to) the changelog where available and specify there is none where it's not?
