Skyscraper support for MobyGames Pro API?
-
Hi @muldjord -
I've been using your excellent Skyscraper app on retropie for years, I love it - thank you! I usually use screenscraper.fr for most of my games (with the userCreds param set) - but I saw MobyGames has released a 'pro' package (about $5/mo I think) that has some neat features.
https://www.mobygames.com/mobypro/
They require an apiKey param in request to the endpoints - is that something that can be configured in the [mobygames] settings in config.ini in Skyscraper?
Thanks!

Sure, feel free to file an issue at GH. I might implement it.
I had a cursory look: Does one get unlimited (or very high) requests with MobyPro?
The only number I was able to find is 720 requests/h (https://www.mobygames.com/info/api/#limits) which is low in contrast to a paid screenscraper access of same value.
Many things MobyPro offers are of no use for scraping / Skyscraper anyway.
I am also not sure if I am fan, that ~
MobyGames~ Activision/Microsoft is trying to monetize community created value.
