Based on the movies and series script proposed by @Christian, this script uses IGDB api to fetch data.

If anyone is interested, here is a link to the Github repo of this script, including a tutorial on how to install.

If the script helped you and you wish to support :wink: :

Please make sure you understand the script before using it, Iā€™m not a programmer so use with caution !

Hey there!

Really cool Ideaā€”Iā€™ve been loving the movies and series script and Iā€™m stoked to get cracking on this.

One issue: Iā€™m getting the ā€œAuth refresh errorā€ message. Some inspection shows that my IGDB Token JSON file isnā€™t getting created by the script. I know you said youā€™re not a programmer, but it looks like this is a new/unique section of code compared to the movies and series script, so I wonder if you have any ideas why this could be happening?

I do wonder if there may be an issue with my setup of the Twitch App, if I had to hazard a guess. JSON/API connections are new to me and I was unable to find some clear documentation around Twitchā†’IGDB, so perhaps the JSON file isnā€™t being created because the token isnā€™t being generated in the first place?

If thatā€™s the case, Iā€™d love to see how you set up your redirect. In my case, I just went with the localhost (however I did try plugging in the url of actual v4/games endpoint and that didnā€™t work either).

Would love to hear your thoughts about what may be going on here!

Problem raised by @bearlythinking has been solved. Please make sure you donā€™t accidentally add a space when entering client id or client-secret in script configuration.

#4

Added 1.1 :

  • Now possible to fetch developer name and logo (if available on IGDB).
#5

If anyone had trouble getting IGDB client id and client secret needed to run this script, I added detailed steps in the readme on how to obtain them.

#6

New in 1.5 :

  • igdbToken.json is now saved in Obsidian vaultā€™s config directory and not in Obsidianā€™s system directory.
  • The script should now also run on Mac.
#7

Update 2022-02-08 :

Work is being done to make this script also work on mobile. I need to find a way to use Obsidian API inside a Quickadd script, to replace node.js fs and normalize from path which apparently do not work on mobile.

#8

New in 2.0 :

  • Script should now work on mobile, thanks to QuickAdd 0.5.1 !
  • Fixed a bug where a missing information from IGDB would prevent note creation.
