rom-scraper

Rom Metadata Scraper, currently scraping The Games DB.

This Project is WIP. If you are on npmjs.com check out this project on https://github.com/LukasBombach/rom-scraper for the latest version. By now you can already scrape basic rom meta data from The Games DB (http://thegamesdb.net/).

Installation

npm install rom-scraper

Current API examples:

import { TheGamesDb } from 'rom-scraper';

TheGamesDb
  .search({ name: 'Secret of Mana', platform: 'Super Nintendo (SNES)' })
  .then(results => {
    console.log(results);
  });

TheGamesDb
  .getGame({ name: 'Secret of Mana', platform: 'Super Nintendo (SNES)' })
  .then(data => {
    console.log(data);
  });

Current API description:

TheGamesDb.search and TheGamesDb.getGame will take 2 optional parameters, the name of the game and and the platform's name. The name can be anything you search for, the platform must be any of the names listed here.

Both functions will return a Promise. The data the example calls above return can be seen here:

• Results for TheGamesDb.search
• Results for TheGamesDb.getGame

Development / Contribution / Feature Requests

For any of these, please create a pull request / issue on GitHub. I am developing this because I need this for another project and I will implement features as I need them or when I have time to make this feature complete. But I am happy to add features if you need it and if I have the time.
