adaliabooks: Yeah, that's the wrong URL. There is a better one to use that you don't need to own the game.

paladin181: That must be a relatively new development as I remember specifically that MaGOG was using someone's account login for information.
Not for changelogs. MaGog uses the account data to get things like the size and names of download files I believe, which aren't available without a log in that owns the game.


Edit: This is the url you want:
https://api.gog.com/products/1207659102?expand=changelog,downloads

Obviously replace the ID with whatever game you want.

Some games like Dex have the changelog on the gamecard (right above the requirements). Not the standard yet, but it seems they are adding the new changelogs for every game, so that everybody can see them.

No, that's me :D

AF adds those links, not Gog...

Oh, I didn't notice that. Keep up the good work, site is much better with your script! :)

Thanks! That works.

timppu: In Botanicula's case, you'd probably need something else as well, as its changelog only says this:

Update gog-1 (10.07.2015)
We have added the Linux version of Botanicula.

timppu: So it doesn't really tell how recent the Windows version is. But maybe that alone would have been (lack of) confirmation enough that there is at least no proof of the GOG version being more up to date than e.g. the Humble Bundle version.
Yeah, I'm using the Linux version from HB so far.

If you want the JSON data to use it in a script/program of your own, the API URL mentioned by adaliabooks is what you need. If instead you only want to get a human-readable game's changelog you may want to use MaGog's changelog repository:

http://www.an-ovel.com/downloads/chg/chg_1207659102.htm

Again, replace the ID for the one you want to check.

...or, for everybody to lazy to jump over to MaGog, simply check the game's subforum. Folks around maintain a good bunch of changelogs in the subfora as well ;-)

See here for example: https://www.gog.com/forum/botanicula/changelog

Yep, thanks. Or somewhat crude method of turning that JSON into more viewable form:

curl -s -o- 'https://api.gog.com/products/1207659024?expand=changelog,download' | jq .changelog | lynx --stdin

I wasn't able to use the MaGog search at all, I only can load the entire GOG library in alphabetical order which causes too much server strain and wastes everyone's time.

This wouldn't be a problem if there were patches instead of automatic updates.
