mrkgnao: Yes. This is the non-redirected link. A redirected link would look something like:
https://www.gog.com/downloads/80_days/en1installer0

How to enable redirection depends on the language you are using. I don't know NodeJS.

I googled "nodejs get redirect url" and found a couple of links that might be relevant:
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/redirecting-requests-in-node-js
https://www.tutorialkart.com/nodejs/node-js-redirect-url/

Hope this helps.

eiii: Is there any API function to query if a game is part of a game collection?

Example:
When I look up Hitman I would like to get IOI Collection (and maybe other collections?) as the result.

mrkgnao: open:
- https://api.gog.com/v2/games/1207658996 (Hitman)
then look for:
- isIncludedInGames:
and find:
- "https://api.gog.com/v2/games/1608424141?locale=en-US" (IOI Collection)

mrkgnao: but you also find:
- "https://api.gog.com/v2/games/1207665493?locale=en-US" (Ultra Pack Deluxe Turbo HD Remix vol.2, a weird 715-game bundle)

eiii: Thank you! That looks like the info I want. Now I only have to grab the game ID from the store page. Or is there also an API function which maps the game name from the store URL ("hitman") to the game ID?

eiii: Interesting game collection. GOG's data are always fun to explore. :D
At least that record can be filtered out easily as it has no store URL.

The-Business: Is there an API endpoint which provides a list of companies (developers + publishers) in the catalog?

boggydigital: Anybody else is noticing that validation .xml files are more miss than hit recently?

Context: I have my service/app that downloads all of GOG.com data (http://github.com/arelate/vangogh) and have been using the following simple rule to download validation files: for binary files, add .xml to the resolved URL.

It seems that recently GOG has moved to a new CDN provider as URLs resolve to https://gog-cdn-lumen.secure2.footprint.net/... and adding .xml works for some, but seems to be weirdly missing for recent updates. Server returns 200 OK and the response is just empty - I don't have good idea how to handle this generically.

I sync my data almost every day and it seems like this problem just started to occur with updates (perhaps .xml are no longer generated?).

Some examples of missing xml:
- dlc_northgard___lyngbakr__clan_of_the_kraken_enUS_2_7_5_24893_53701.pkg.xml
- dlc_northgard___sv_fnir__clan_of_the_snake_enUS_2_7_5_24893_53701.pkg.xml
- dlc_northgard___svardilfari__clan_of_the_horse_enUS_2_7_5_24893_53701.pkg.xml
- fault___milestone_two_side_above_enUS_gog_1_20919.pkg.xml
- northgard_enUS_2_7_5_24893_53701.pkg.xml
- setup_simpleplanes_1.12.123.0_(32bit)_(53567).exe.xml
- setup_strangeland_2.5_(52449)-1.bin.xml
- setup_strangeland_2.5_(52449).exe.xml
- simpleplanes_enUS_1_12_123_0_53567.pkg.xml

Magnitus: I noticed the same. I also have issues with "Longest Road on Earth" and "Forgotten Fields".
Someone hinted that this problem occured in the past and it might be transient.

WinterSnowfall:

eiii: Thanks for posting the list of all tags. Is there an API function to request this list? Or have you just collected the tags from the list of all games?

WinterSnowfall: ...

boggydigital: It does seem like store pages are created from the data provided by https://api.gog.com/v2/games/product_id?locale=en-US endpoint as most of things visible on those pages can be mapped to that API.

boggydigital: if anybody knows where the new data is coming from, please share :-)
