I don’t see any, sorry haven’t put something here, but my next reply will share the details

Request path: /api/1/jam/entries without API key and cached every 24h

Maybe the API response should consist of array of objects with:

  • Game Name
  • Game Thumbnail Link
  • Game Author Name
  • Game Contributors Name
  • Last Updated
  • Creation Date

in JSON format obviously

Thanks in advance, Hanz

There is an undocumented endpoint to get the entries from a jam that you can find by inspecting the network panel on the submission listing page.

Example URL: https://itch.io/jam/310237/entries.json taken from https://itch.io/jam/amaze-me-game-jam/entries

Note these are the props that are used to render the UI, so we can’t make any guarantee of what will be available and in what format, but it’s unlikely to change substantially. You’re welcome to hit it with your scripts and consume it as necessary.

Thank you for your reply

Is the official documentation open for editing?

This will never be an official endpoint, as it’s consumed by the platform only for the purpose of rendering the entries page.

In the future we may add something more generic to the API.
