Barefoot_Monkey: Here's a teaser for my new GOG.com-related project.
Do you have any information or idea if there's any sort of API for GoG at least considered, or if that hope would be futile? It would just allow for plenty of user created interaction and would help to ease the workload on project like yours.

Really, they even should not insist on him moving to Warsaw. He's good wherever he is. :)))

The design looks cool and I think it would be really nice to have.

It looks awesome, I want it ! :-)

For the automated shelf update thingy, would a gift code work for your tests ? If so, I bet some people around here would be ready to gift you games for your tests (and I'm among them, you've been a valuable member of the GOG commmunity)

I seriously doubt an API will appear, the information for this seems (from the opening post, I don't have inside information) to be fetched through Javascript (the userscript) when you visit your own shelf, and then sent to wherever the public profile can see it.

Barefoot_Monkey: Is anyone interested in using something like this?
I'll do what I can to convert the userscript to a Safari plugin when you feel it's ready enough.

Sorry, I should have expressed myself properly.
I know that he's intending to interface with the browser through GreaseMonkey (and thus JavaScript), but I was trying to point out that his project is a perfect showcase example for how beneficial third party applications could be to the GoG community and how they would benefit from an API.

Aye, but I believe it's not in their best interest (yet) to supply APIs for external sites, hence why we won't see it anytime soon (and will have to rely on "hacks" such as user scripting).

As GOG grows and becomes a more popular gathering point, the situation may well change.

This is brilliant. Love it.

It's a good job it is the alpha version. "Oficial" is not the correct spelling :)

I'm at work right now, so can't spend much time writing on GOG. I'll reply to some posts when I get back home.

Oops. Would you believe I spotted that last night and fixed the spelling, but didn't re-upload the screenshot?

Anyway, it turns out that I won't be needing that logo. I've mentioned this to you, but for those who don't know there's been a change of plans - instead of making a new website I'm for this Ubibis has invited me to gogwiki and add these features to the wiki.

That's very kind of you to offer. You really don't have to, but you want to then I'd gladly accept.

That's pretty much spot on. Right now it scrapes the current page if you happen to be in your shelf, but once it's basically up and running I'll if I can grab shelf data from anywhere on GOG using XmlHttpRequest.

That would be a big help. Thank you.

You're right on all counts. There is no API at the moment, and it would be very nice if there was one. Then again, most of what one would want from an API is available through regular web request. The only big thing that's missing is file integrity hashes (md5sums or whatever) for the setup files.

Thankfully that was just an April Fool's joke, and not real like your pegadolphicorn. You looked awesome riding that BTW
