- RSS feed reader - We were using Gamespot's' news API in the past but unfortunately, that service was sunsetted by GameSpot. We're currently consuming the RSS feed of the same website for showing gaming news inside the app.
You'll need to supply API/client keys for the various services that the app uses in order to build the application.
IGDB is a website dedicated to combining all the relevant information about games into a comprehensive resource for gamers everywhere. This is the main API that the app uses to fetch information about pretty much any video game there is.
Check this link on how to obtain a client ID and
secret. Once you have obtained the keys, you can set them in your .env:
TWITCH_APP_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here
TWITCH_APP_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret_here
