Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe. using the JSON pages added by cg might decrease the number of requests needed for some features

Additional Context cg just added some JSON to SG, https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/XFaPQ/json-support

That's awesome, thanks for letting me know!

(unrelated, some people reported very serious breakage of the addon on the thread, but those look beyond my ability to help them)

I'm aware, but haven't had time to look. Honestly, I think it could be related to the rate limiting, since those reports started happening with v8.8.4, I think, so v8.8.6 might fix that with the new adaptive system.

Will keep a list here of features/functionalities that need to be moved to the new interface and their status:

[x] Retrieving a user's Steam ID or SteamGifts ID
[x] Whitelist/Blacklist Checker
[ ] User Giveaway Data
[ ] Not Received Finder
[x] Updating reduced CV / no CV database (server)
[ ] ...

I'm not really familiar with JSON - just know that by him integrating it we now have something kinda like an API. One not mentioned in your list is https://www.steamgifts.com/user/cg/giveaways/won?format=json for the Profiles - Giveaways Won, I guess. But assuming you've visited the above linked page by now you already know more than I do about it all.
