Pretty simple API wrapper for RAWG.io with typings.

You can use both sync and async realizations.

Contributions are welcome!

API Usage

Installation

Just

pip install rawg

or maybe pip3.

Simple example

from rawg import Rawg

r = Rawg()
s = r.search('half life 3')

result = s.results[0]
print(result.name, result.released)

Async example

import asyncio

from rawg import AioRawg
from rawg.types import RawgGame


async def main():
    rawg = AioRawg()

    search = await rawg.search('metal gear', page_size=3)
    requests = [rawg.info(game) for game in search.results]

    print('Search results:', search.count)
    for request in asyncio.as_completed(requests):
        game: RawgGame = await request
        print(game.name)
        print('--', 'Released:', game.released)
        print('--', 'Rating:', game.rating)
        print('--', 'Genres:', ', '.join(genre.name for genre in game.genres))
        print('--', 'Available on:', ', '.join(p.platform.name for p in game.platforms))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

Result:

Manual

Methods

API have 3 methods:

• search — search for a game by name, return type: RawgSearch
  • RawgSearch have attribute results of type List[RawgGameSearch]
• suggested — find more similar games via RAWG ML, return type: RawgSuggested
  • RawgSuggested have attribute results of type List[RawgGameSuggested]
• info — detailed information about the game, return type: RawgGame
  • RawgGame is more detailed than RawgGameSearch and RawgGameSuggested

Types

This library uses pydantic for parsing API responses. Main types are: RawgPlatformData, RawgPlatform, RawgStoreData, RawgStore, RawgRating, RawgAddedByStatus, RawgChartYear, RawgCharts, RawgClips, RawgClip, RawgScreenshot, RawgGenre, RawgGameBase, RawgGame, RawgGameSearch, RawgGameSuggested, RawgSearch. And declared in rawg/types.py.

In case of unsupported types

API results can change and the library may not parse the new result. So you can use parameter raw_results for requesting В«rawВ» dicts:

r = AioRawg(raw_results=True)
# Or
r = Rawg(raw_results=True)
