New Features on IFDB

This is a summary of recent additions and changes to the site. The list isn't comprehensive - we report only the more visible and significant changes, so you might notice some minor changes from time to time that aren't reported here.

JSON APIs: Most of our IFDB API endpoints now support JSON.

You can search for games and get JSON results
You can view an individual game and get JSON results (now including tags and complete, unstripped HTML!)
You can tag games by posting a JSON array of tags

All of the old APIs still work in XML mode, but JSON is the preferred format for all new code. (The API to add/edit games is still XML-only, for now.)

In addition, we deprecated the gametags API. You can view tags on an individual game with the viewgame API, or view your own tags with the search API, like this:
