How it works

From IGDB to your site in three steps

01

Connect your IGDB account

Add your free Twitch developer Client ID and Secret under Settings. A "test connection" button confirms it's working.

02

Search, or bulk import

Import one game at a time, or — on Pro — queue up hundreds and let a batched background job bring them all in.

03

Games appear automatically

A polished single-game template ships with the plugin — no page-building or theme setup required.

PRO

Bulk import hundreds of games at once

Queue up a whole catalog and the importer works through it in small batches in the background, so a single request never has to run long enough to hit a server timeout. "Resync All" uses the same batched approach to refresh every game already imported when IGDB's data changes.

Common questions

Does this cost anything on IGDB's side?

No — IGDB's API is free to use via a Twitch developer account. You just need to create one and generate a Client ID and Secret.

Are there rate limits I should know about?

IGDB enforces its own request limits. The importer throttles every request to stay comfortably under them, so imports may take a little longer on very large batches, but they won't get your API key blocked.

What happens when I re-sync a game?

It re-fetches that game's data from IGDB and updates the post — useful when a rating changes or a new screenshot is added upstream. Any manual edits you've made, like a custom download link, are left alone.
