Suggestion - add other free games to script

[Andrej730]

It seems that EGS sometimes has some other free games to offer. This week it is https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/sludge-life/home (it is shown at the https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/free-games ) My suggestion is to include them in script.

Same for https://www.epicgames.com/store/fr/product/a-total-war-saga-troy/home which is 24h free.

I did some digging on this a while back, and I found a GraphQL query that can list all games from the backend with their promotional offers. The issue is that there's 2000 games, which is about 1MB of data. I have very little experience with GraphQL, but I'd like to find a way to filter by discount amount so we don't have a huge request that we have to filter through.

If anyone wants to mess around with it, here's the query:

curl --location --request POST 'https://www.epicgames.com/store/backend/graphql-proxy' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{"query":"query searchStoreQuery($allowCountries: String, $category: String, $count: Int, $country: String!, $keywords: String, $locale: String, $namespace: String, $sortBy: String, $sortDir: String, $start: Int, $tag: String) {\r\n  Catalog {\r\n    searchStore(allowCountries: $allowCountries, category: $category, count: $count, country: $country, keywords: $keywords, locale: $locale, namespace: $namespace, sortBy: $sortBy, sortDir: $sortDir, start: $start, tag: $tag\r\n    ) {\r\n      elements {\r\n        title\r\n        id\r\n        namespace\r\n        description\r\n        productSlug\r\n        items {\r\n          id\r\n          namespace\r\n        }\r\n        promotions(category: $category) {\r\n          promotionalOffers {\r\n            promotionalOffers {\r\n              startDate\r\n              endDate\r\n              discountSetting {\r\n                discountType\r\n                discountPercentage\r\n              }\r\n            }\r\n          }\r\n        }\r\n      }\r\n      paging {\r\n        count\r\n        total\r\n      }\r\n    }\r\n  }\r\n}","variables":{"category":"games","sortBy":"effectiveDate","sortDir":"asc","count":1000,"country":"US","allowCountries":"US","locale":"en-US","start":0}}'

It's seems script doesn't see 2 out of 5 currently available free games:

• https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/3-out-of-10-ep-3/home
• https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/thimbleweed-park/delores

My thought was that the script should redeem the games that are temporarily free. Thimbleweed and 3/10 Ep 3 appear to be free forever. I'm worried that if it redeems all free games, it could get out of hand (e.g. the thousands of free games on Steam).

I can add a variable to redeem all free games no matter what.

[Andrej730]

It would be nice option to have. I had the script that was redeeming all free games on steam and it was a mess because it was redeeming all kind of useless stuff - like game trailers, demo-versions etc. Hopefully on EGS there is a way to filter out only actual games and activating all free games would not be that messy.

@claabs This game is not being purchased. It doesn't appear to always be free so I'm not sure what the deal is. I'd be happy to try to help figure it out if you want.

This was due to captchas being added recently. It was already fixed in #192. Pull the latest image for the fix.

I'll give that a shot thank you.

It did end up purchasing Prison Architect properly by sending me the captcha, but this game isn't showing up at all.

I have hcaptcha commented out right now since that is not working.

This was implemented a while back. Closing now.
