Response data is organized in JSON format, with each endpoint returning a structured object. For example, the "get games details" endpoint returns an object containing specific attributes of a game, making it easy to parse and utilize in applications.
The "get games by producers" and "get games details" endpoints require specific parameters: a producer name for the second endpoint and a game title for the third. These parameters allow users to customize their queries and retrieve targeted data.
The "get game producers" endpoint provides a comprehensive list of game producers. The "get games by producers" endpoint offers titles developed by a specified producer, while the "get games details" endpoint delivers in-depth statistics and information about individual games.
Users can leverage the returned data for various applications, such as game analytics, research, and development. For instance, by analyzing the "total_shipped" field, users can assess a game's popularity, while the "release_date" can help track trends in game releases over time.
Typical use cases include game market analysis, academic research on gaming trends, and developing applications that require detailed game information. The API's structured access allows for efficient data retrieval tailored to specific research or business needs.

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
