Editor's Notes & Deep Dive

Key Features

→GET /giveaways returns all active giveaways with title, platform, and worth
→GET /filter?platform=pc&sort-by=date filters by platform and sort
→Each entry includes an image URL and an open-giveaway URL

Rate Limits & Quotas

No published hard limit; the host is a small VPS. Keep usage polite (~1 req/sec).

Known Issues & Pitfalls

!Some giveaway 'worth' values are estimates, not exact retail prices
!Image URLs are sometimes broken after a giveaway ends — cache or screenshot if you need them long-term
!Platform codes are custom (e.g. 'pc', 'steam', 'epic-games-store') — check the docs

How It Compares

The only free dedicated game-giveaway API. For broader game metadata use the RAWG API (key required).
