External Services

The plugin integrates with the Internet Game Database (IGDB.com) to provide game data. The API is used to obtain:

  • Game cover data
  • Release dates, platforms, genres
  • Developer and publisher information
  • Game summaries and descriptions

To obtain this information, the plugin sends over a user-entered search query (for example, “baseball”) and the API sends a list of games matching that search query. No additional data is shared.

IGBD.com is powered by Twitch. To use the API, a free Twitch Developer Account is needed. This is used to authenticate via Twitch.tv. IGDB.com and Twitch.tv are governed by the following privacy and service terms: Developer Services Agreement, Privacy Notice, and Terms of Service.

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.8 or higher
  • PHP 8.2 or higher
  • IGDB API credentials (free registration required)

Support

For support, feature requests, or bug reports, please visit the plugin’s support forum.
