Redeem keys on external stores (GOG, Microsoft, Legacy Games)

[vogler]

TODO for prime-gaming: redeem shown game keys on external stores:

• [x] GOG - https://www.gog.com/redeem Known responses: Invalid or no captcha, code_used, code_not_found Missing: unused key + not logged in
• [ ] microsoft games - https://redeem.microsoft.com Known responses: NotFound Missing: unused key
• [x] legacy games - https://www.legacygames.com/primedeal Always succeeds for same email (using PG_EMAIL), even if key was already used.

From README:

Claiming the Amazon Games works out-of-the-box, however, for games on external stores you need to either link your account or redeem a key.

• Stores that require account linking: Epic Games, Battle.net, Origin.
• Stores that require redeeming a key: GOG.com, Microsoft Games, Legacy Games.

I have that it takes a screen shot of the Redeem keys

I know this maybe a little bit more work but would be nice to name the Redeem keys as well as placing them in folder for the right month and what not reason have 100 or more Redeem keys would take time to go though each photo etc etc

I can tell you I never Redeem Epic games free games because i couldn't be stuffed logging in and clicking a button etc etc

some what same goes for Redeem keys on external stores etc etc

[vogler]

The screenshots are just a fallback. The keys are also stored in data/prime-gaming.json (just search for "code").

Example:

    "Doors: Paradox": {
      "title": "Doors: Paradox",
      "time": "2022-12-29 14:27:59.367",
      "store": "internal"
    },
    "Dishonored 2": {
      "title": "Dishonored 2",
      "time": "2022-12-29 14:28:01.425",
      "store": "gog.com",
      "code": "NNEK0987AB20DFBF8F",
      "url": "https://gaming.amazon.com/loot/dishonored2?ingress=amzn&ref_=SM_D2F_P1_CRWN"
    },
    "Quake": {
      "title": "Quake",
      "time": "2022-12-29 14:28:12.829",
      "store": "epic games store",
      "url": "https://gaming.amazon.com/loot/quake?ingress=amzn&ref_=SM_Q01F_P1_CRWN"
    },

from what i can tell this has be resolved case close

I can't close this support ticket

[vogler]

No, the issue was about claiming keys on external stores.

[Underestimated]

In the meantime, would it be possible to make the script call an external notification service (like Pushover or a webhook) to notify the end user that there's something to claim? Some of the external keys are time limited, and if they're not claimed within the month they expire. By generating a notification if there's something new claimed that requires manual intervention, it would help with people like myself who are running the tool headless on a headless device. It could also be used to notify the user if they need to update their passwords, or enter a captcha via VNC to keep the service running

[vogler]

Yes, I wanted to add https://github.com/caronc/apprise, but haven't gotten around to it.

[vogler]

Notifications merged with #49.

[Underestimated]

Thanks! That’s awesome, it’s gonna make it easier on me too, much appreciated.

[vogler]

I added a WIP option PG_REDEEM, but I can't test it further without unused keys to redeem. The log will include a line Response: .... Please post yours if it is not already listed in the initial post above.

@Izanagi52 Thanks, undefined reason fixed. Was the game claimed afterwards?

[Izanagi52]

No it wasn't. I have claimed it manually

[kennymc-c]

Just tried it with but got no response code at all after waiting several minutes. It just stops and doesn't continue with GOG. The key wasn't claimed on Legacy Games and had to be manually redeemed afterwards.

[Izanagi52]

Same logs as above, and the script doesn't continue after that too (even after almost 30 minutes). But for me, the key was successfully redeemed.

I closed the legacy game tabs via VNC, and the script resumed, and successfully finished without error.

[Izanagi52]

For Legacy Games, the game is redeemed, but the script stop and doesn't continue automatically (so notification are not send, and it doesn't continue to GOG) And after a while, it crash with this log : unexpected EOF

[vogler]

@Izanagi52 The timeout was due to a debugging pause, should be fixed with a90f90afc098b3043ee1ef90e57164b748d3b6dc (fixup: 22f673282b12d3f047c3c25e4d8650e299d9ae74).

[Izanagi52]

@vogler Yes, I can confirm it works perfectly now!

[Paffnsn]

What do I need to set instead of a "0" as a default entry to redeem for example games on the epic store?

[vogler]

@Paffnsn There's just 0 and 1 which will try to redeem games for all external stores. For epic-games you just need to have your account linked on prime-gaming.

[kennymc-c]

I noticed that when an external (Epic) account is not linked (anymore) the script doesn't recognizing this and treats every try to claim an external game as a successful claim although the game has not been claimed.

bit if the same for gog. When a redeem is unsuccesfull (gog captcha for example) then it will never retry.

[vogler]

When a redeem is unsuccesfull (gog captcha for example) then it will never retry.

That is true, prime-gaming.js just checks for unclaimed games, and after getting the key, it's claimed on prime-gaming. However, the notification should say that it failed and include the key and link to redeem it.

Could maybe add some option to retry keys in data/prime-gaming.json that have been claimed from prime-gaming but not successfully redeemed on the external store.
