About this skill
Expert IGDB API Integration
Building gaming applications requires precise data, and the IGDB v4 API is the industry standard. This skill transforms your AI agent into an IGDB Specialist, capable of architecting complex queries, managing authentication, and fetching deep game metadata with technical accuracy.
What it does
- Authentication Management: Handles Twitch OAuth2 client-credentials flows, including token caching and refresh logic.
- Apicalypse Query Expert: Constructs high-performance raw strings using exact IGDB v4 syntax, fields, and operators (AND/OR/Contains).
- Deep Data Access: Accesses the full range of endpoints including /games, /platforms, /popularity_primitives, and /multiquery for batch operations.
- Image Optimization: Generates precise Cloudinary-backed URLs for covers, screenshots, and logos with support for Retina (_2x) and WebP.
Why use this skill?
Prompting an AI without this skill often leads to deprecated field names (like 'category' instead of 'game_type') or incorrect array syntax. This skill ensures your agent uses the latest v4 reference, including the correct square-bracket syntax for platform filtering and proper multiquery aliasing. It prevents 400 Bad Request errors and optimizes for performance by preferring explicit field lists over wildcards.
Supported Capabilities
- Full implementation of the Apicalypse query language.
- Support for 50+ endpoints including specialized /search and /count.
- Advanced filtering using Unix timestamps and array operators.
- Integration of PopScore/Popularity types for trending game data.
