Integration with IGDB

Ryot supports tracking video games via IGDB. However, the API is heavily rate limited, so it is not possible to hardcode the API keys in the application (unlike other keys which are hardcoded).

You can follow the below steps to obtain your own API keys to enable video game tracking.

Steps

  1. Create a Twitch account.

  2. Open your developer console.

  3. Click on "Register Your Application" on the dashboard.

  4. Fill up the details.

    Twitch application

    Note that you must use a unique name. Any name will suffice. Click on "Create" when you are done.

  5. You will be guided back to your application dashboard. Click on "Manage" for the application you just created.

  6. Generate a client secret. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret.

  7. Set the video_games.* configuration variables in the environment as described in the configuration docs.

Conclusion

After following these steps, you should have video game integration working properly!
