djcarnage Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hey Jason, have you looked into the possibility of LB grabbing metadata from Atarimania? They've got everything Atari related on that site, screenshots, box art, game data, etc. Not sure how easy that is for you to set up, but check out the site, the way it's set up might be fairly easy for you to do. GamesDB doesn't have but 3 games for the 8-bit computers, and that suuuucks. ;) Thanks man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hi @djcarnage, the important thing about integrating with any site is whether or not they have an API. Sites without an API (or at least that are unwilling to build one or let us help them build one) are unfortunately completely out of the question. Our policy is: 1. There must be an API. We won't do "scrapers" because they're error-prone and if anything with the site structure changes, then it all has to be re-built, which just ends up to be a huge waste of development time. 2. We must have direct permissions from the owner(s) of the site. So if we can research those things and it works out, then we can add it to the to-do list. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
