Since almost 100% of data about games is coming straight from IGDB, what I wish for in a Backloggd API is:

  • Getting a game's rating, ratings count, reviews, lists with the game in it and every Backloggd-specific data about the game

  • Managing lists, adding games to lists, removing them, reordering them, adding notes, …

Agreed on all counts. An API definitely has to lean more Backloggd-specific. IGDB can serve up that data separately if a client of this API needs it.

I think it'd be ideal to have a way to pull in our own reviews for sharing with others via automation, among a host of other things.
