That's disappointing. I was expecting a video of RPis with blinking LEDs.

Well, actualllllyyyyyyy... I do have some LEDs that blink, but only in case of trouble :P.

For some reason Galaxy API calls to ID 1207659001 (Thief™ 2: The Metal Age) started returning HTTP 500 today.

Say hello to the Atlas GOGBear for me: https://api.gog.com/v2/games/1207659001?locale=en-US

I would imagine Galaxy is also affected, but that also throws a wrench in my scanning. But we are the Borg, so we will adapt. Resistance is futile.

That mostly worked for me.
The exception seems to be cover image and boxart, plus publisher, and maybe some other stuff.

I was able to get all the browser type download links, which I then queried using gogcli.exe, and I got a checksum and bytes plus file name for each of the installer files, but bytes and file names failed to be returned for the five Extras files, until I used curl to query each file directly via the true download link.

I've come across several games in the last few weeks that return bad metadata for some files. In most cases, it is just one or more of the Extras files.

I am aware of it of course. That was/is the site/Galaxy API of old. Modern Galaxy (2.0+) however uses the v2 endpoints.

Anyway, I've added the ability to skip ids during scans and will skip this one until the problem is sorted. The show must go on!

Good morning GOGCity, the city of dreams. Have you seen that Arasaka cruiser in the harbor?

Things are wonky and have started returning HTTP 500 because of the changelog just yesterday. I wonder if it's a Militech sabotage. Hopefully normal operations will resume soon.

Yay, thanks. Seems fine now. That being said, it's not the first time this happened, so I've taken the liberty of automating a workaround. Not that I want to see HTTP 500s again, so please pat your servers on the back every now and then :P.

Similar problem (503 error) for:

EDIT: Ok now.

It's been a while since the last stats update, so I'm reposting some useful links here:

-> Game ID list: deprecated
-> Deveoper/Publisher list: deprecated

Also, I've added some nice graphical stats for the curious among you:

-> ID distribution plot: deprecated
-> ID distribution plot (excluding the initial ID load): deprecated
-> ID timeline plot (detection date): deprecated
-> ID timeline plot (release date): deprecated

All of the above are updated roughly every two months or so. And last but not least:

-> Galaxy vs offline installer version discrepancy list: https://airtable.com/shrldLsErlUf3eHqS

... updated every month or so.

P.S. Interested to see the code I'm using to generate this data? It's on GitHub: https://github.com/WinterSnowfall/gog_gles

Deprecation notice: In the last few years a lot of tooling has showed up to help one gain insight into the GOG catalogue, to the point where the data I used to be providing and updating above makes little sense. Hence, I am no longer going to update/maintain it.

As alternatives (and much, much more), see:
- Yepoleb's GOG DB
- gogtrial34987's gamesieve

The GOG Galaxy/offline installer discrepancy list will still remain available if anyone needs it, but it will be updated roughly every month or so.

For any other stats or data you might be interested in, simply ask on this thread, my tireless automated workers are still collecting data.

Thanks for all your hard work! When I got started with figuring out how GameSieve should work, and what I should be prepared for from GOG's side, this thread was a major source of inspiration.

Thank you for all your work!

Good to know this rather deep rabbit hole I ended up pursuing was an inspiration to anyone :P. Best of luck with gamesieve, it turned out great.

And thank you for yours :). I still remember MaGOG fondly, and I think she (and I mean that in the most naval way possible) was an inspiration to us all.
