Rawg Video Games Database

About RAWG Video Games Database

RAWG is a video game database and discovery API with data on over 500,000 games across PC, console, and mobile platforms. It provides structured information including game metadata, release dates, platforms, genres, ratings, screenshots, and system requirements, all accessible through a free REST API.

For developers building gaming-related apps, content sites, or recommendation engines, RAWG’s API removes the need to manually curate game data. You can pull game details by ID, search by name, filter by platform or genre, and access community ratings. The API returns clean JSON that is straightforward to parse and integrate.

In an n8n workflow, RAWG works well as a data source for content automation. You could build workflows that monitor new releases in specific genres, pull game data to populate a website or newsletter, or cross-reference your product catalogue with RAWG metadata. If you need to connect RAWG data with your content management system, ecommerce platform, or internal tools, our automated data processing services can help structure that pipeline.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement RAWG Video Games Database

Step 1

Register for a RAWG API key

Sign up at rawg.io and request an API key from their API section. The key is required for all API requests and is passed as a query parameter. Keep the key secure and do not expose it in client-side code.

Step 2

Test the API with basic game queries

Use a tool like Postman or a simple HTTP Request node in n8n to call the RAWG games endpoint with your API key. Try searching for a game by name, pulling a game by ID, and listing games by genre to understand the response structure and available fields.

Step 3

Design your data pipeline

Decide what RAWG data you need and where it should go. Map out which API endpoints to call, what fields to extract, and which downstream system receives the data, whether that is a CMS, database, spreadsheet, or notification channel.

Step 4

Build the n8n workflow

Create your workflow with an appropriate trigger, such as a daily schedule for new release monitoring or a webhook for on-demand searches. Add HTTP Request nodes for the RAWG API calls, parse the JSON responses, and route the extracted data to your target system.

Step 5

Handle pagination and rate limits

RAWG API responses are paginated for list endpoints. Build loop logic into your n8n workflow to fetch additional pages when needed. Add delay nodes between API calls to stay within rate limits, and implement error handling for rate limit responses.

Step 6

Schedule updates and monitor data freshness

Set up scheduled runs to pull new game releases or updated ratings on a regular basis. Monitor your workflow logs to catch API errors, changed response formats, or rate limit issues early so your game data stays current.
