Wow, this is truly brilliant and, imho, much more useful than the GOG site. Cheers for your hard work and time!

I finally got around to configuring Let's Encrypt. The site is now has a certificate and automatically redirects all HTTP traffic to HTTPS. Sorry if me messing with the DNS and configuration files caused any issues.

Thanks for all the nice comments, I appreciate them.

I'm currently moving my site to a proper webhost (uberspace.de), which will cause some downtime and SSL breaking for a few hours.

Sorry for the lack of updates since launch, I've been working on improving the data collection by writing a proper Python wrapper around the API. It'll probably take a few more weeks until it's finally done, you can check the progress at https://github.com/Yepoleb/pygogapi/tree/wrapper.
That didn't go as planned, I tried almost the full day to get it working properly without success. I guess shared hosting just isn't for me. Just ordered a virtual server from hetzner.de and trying to set it up on that one. Hopefully my predictions are right and this will go a lot smoother.

Yepoleb: GOG Database collects data from the store pages and Galaxy APIs and makes it accessible on a single page for each game. Currently its uses are a bit limited and mostly developer focused, but I have many ideas of features that could be useful for all players. As the name suggests, this project has been heavily inspired by Steam Database, you should definitely check them out if you're a Steam user.

Current features:
* Downloads list
* Basic API data
* Dollar price tracking

Planned features:
* Regional prices
* Store info tracking
* Non-store games
* File tracking

The site can be found at http://gogdb.yepoleb.me and is hosted on my home server, so please be gentle if it's going a bit slow.
Seriously awesome. Love the price tracking.

Also, anything that will help in the future to let us track sales volumes, gameplay hours and trending of games on GoG would be a huge help to the community. It will help let the community know what may and may not be worth requesting in the community wishlist mushihimesama - I will never let this one go, especially now that Sine Mora has also been released!

Keep up the great work. It is appreciated.

I am not saying that people would or should stop requesting games, but if you see a genre doing well, or certain games in a genre, then it helps for people to find other games and request other games that are similar.

Games like Dead Cells you can vote here could get a better chance of succeeding.

Hello Yepoleb, i was looking through the GOG Database and i noticed that Tyranny has no installers/patches listed under the Downloads section

https://gogdb.yepoleb.me/product/1183547197
https://gogdb.yepoleb.me/product/1447126331
https://gogdb.yepoleb.me/product/1270048047

The installers for Tyranny - Tales from the Tiers are listed though, along with the installers for Pillars of Eternity on their respective database pages. Is this a bug?

Move to the new server is completed and I'm very happy with how it went. This should bring you faster connection times, higher page loading speed and better availability. Please report any stability problems.

I have no way to track sales volumes or trending games. If I was, that would be very bad for GOG's business. You can get a rough idea by going to the store page and sorting by popularity or bestselling. Gameplay hours are a client feature, I can track those neither.

If you look at the product type, those are all packages. This means they contain other applications which provide the actual content, but sometimes they add their own as well. Tracking the contained applications is more difficult, because they aren't listed in the store. It's not really a bug, the data I'm displaying matches the one from GOG, it's just a missing feature.

Of course you can't if GOG doesn't provide that info, but why do you say it'd be very bad for GOG if you did?

Because it could put publishers in a bad light if their games aren't selling well. They want to stay in control of the numbers and only give out the ones they like.
Awesome!. Great job. Thank you for your effort and support. ^_^

Blah. All the more reason to want it, then.

I removed some unused fonts yesterday in order to not waste bandwidth with older browser, which are too stupid to ignore them. Unfortunately I forgot to rebuild the CSS and now half of all requests are 404. Really proud of that move, sorry if it caused any rendering issues for you.
