About This File

Preview and import images from SteamGrid Database directly into your LaunchBox collection.
 

  • A personalized SteamGridDB API Key is required.  (See below about getting yours)
  • Downloaded images are saved to the default LaunchBox image folder(s).

 

Installing
Download and extract the contents of the download to your /LaunchBox/Plugins/ folder.
    i.e.  D:/LaunchBox/Plugins/SteamGrid Scraper/SteamGridScraper.dll

 

First Time Run
Select a game, right-click it and select SteamGrid Scraper.
    The "API key Required" window will open.
Paste (or manually type in) your personal SteamGrid API key.
Click Save

 

Using
Select a game, right-click it and select SteamGrid Scraper.

In cases where an exact match for the game Tite is not found, a window will popup listing 'close matches'.
Double-click a game from the list to select it.

Click on the SteamGrid image group you'd like to view.  Options are:
    Grids
    Heroes
    Logos
    Icons

Up to 50 images will show in the Gallery.  If the selected group has more than 50 available, click "2" to see then next 50.

Use the Zoom slider to increase/decrease the image sizes in the Gallery.
Double-click on an image to see a larger view. (Opens in a separate window).

The Icons group is pretty much useless in LaunchBox.  But since they're available, they're included.

 

Saving an image
To add an image to your game, right-click the image in the gallery and select Add Image.

Select the Image Type (folder) you want to save it as from the dropdown box.  (It doesn't change automatically for you.)
    Only a few select image types are shown by default.
    To see all image folders (types), check the box "See All available image types".

(Optional) To view your existing images for the game, click View Existing Images Gallery. (Opens in a separate window)
    This shows only the images for the selected image type

(Optional) Click Open Image Folder to open Windows Explorer to the folder where your existing images are and where the image will be saved to.

Click Save to save the image.

 

Getting your SteamGridDB API Key

Log into your SteamGridDB account.
Go to your Profile - Preferences - API
Click 'Generate API key'
 

 

As always, all comments and suggestions are welcome. 😎

I highly recommend this plugin, the interface is intuitive and works as expected. I've been using it to fill out missing clear logos from my collection

Great job!

This is what the world has been waiting for. Stellar work, thank you!

Perhaps you'd be willing to take a look at the broken HLTB plugin next? ;)
