Hi,
New to the API, so please be indulgent^^
I would like to be able to only get screenshots (or boxes) for a specific game on a specific platform.
What I'm doing now
1. Filter on a name and platform to get an ID (but there might be many other Xenogears title, like 'Xenogears 2', isn't it!?)
http://www.giantbomb.com/api/games/?api_key=**********&filter=name:xenogears,platforms:22&field_list=name,id
2. With that ID, search the game for images and manage to find the good one using the tag ? (here I can see 'PS1 Screenshots' but how could I guess how every systems screenshots are tagged!?...and more problematic, I can't see specific platform tag like 'Snes Box Art', it's always simply listed as 'Box Art' even for games with many releases available)
http://www.giantbomb.com/api/game/18304/?api_key=**********&field_list=images
I have thought to this too
1. Filter on a name and platform to get an ID
http://www.giantbomb.com/api/games/?api_key=**********&filter=name:xenogears,platforms:22&field_list=name,id
2. With this ID, look for releases
http://www.giantbomb.com/api/game/18304/?api_key=**********&field_list=releases
3. Then for each release, check if the platform (and perhaps 'region' too) is correct
http://www.giantbomb.com/api/release/79600/?api_key=**********
4. But what else! I've only some images here...not all the one displayed in the gallery !!
I confess that I'm lost, perhaps mixing everything...Could you please help me understand how to achieve this 'simple' (not for me^^) task: retrieving a screenshot (and box) for a specific game on a specific platform, the correct way!
Thank you very much!
