Getting Started
So, you want Gamepro video game data? GameproAPI exposes its data via an Application Programming Interface (API). This document is the starting point for dynamic XML/JSON data retrieval.
You can access the API methods directly, or if you would like an easier interface you can generate the correct REST url using the Custom XML Generator. All responses return either XML or JSON.
In nutshell, there are 2 base data GET modes:
- Content (Articles) - If you would like Gamepro editorial content, this is the correct Content Type. You will get article content in Date Published descending order. Article content can be filtered by platform and article type. View the return XML schema >>
- Products - If you are looking for video game title based data, this is what you are looking for. For now, the products content type is displayed by date published descending order. Product content can be filtered by platform, genre and esrb rating. View the return XML schema >>
API URL Generator : Custom XML Generator
We have a handy to use custom API url generator located here. It serves as a graphical interface to produce the correct url request strings for the API.
Start by selecting a content type from the Content Type select box. The content filters will change based on which content type you select.
