Integration with steamDB #30

Open Jostino opened 1 year ago

Jostino commented 1 year ago

I was wondering (after the various blackout in the reddit world) if could be possible to integrate the possibility to search free games directly from the steamDB free games section, like this one: https://steamdb.info/freepackages/#

I don't know if it's a viable way, it's just an idea (and I don't know if there is a better place to share it).

Thanks!

There are a few issues with this suggestion: 1) SteamDB does not allow scraping, 2) the linked page is personalized to the user, 3) the linked page includes many irrelevant packages: free-to-play games, demos, DLC, etc.

Maybe if you could interface the software with Discord, you could follow the #free-promotions channel at Discord's SteamDB.
