feat(games): import game metadata from RAWG

[MaximilianMauroner]

Non-Steam games have no consistent import path for artwork, genres, platforms, franchises, or release dates.

Proposed change

Add a RAWG-backed search and import flow for individual games. Preview the selected match before writing normalized metadata to Notion.

Acceptance criteria

• Search supports title and platform.
• The preview includes artwork, genres, platforms, release date, and franchise when available.
• The importer maps fields to documented Notion properties.
• Existing games are updated or skipped instead of duplicated.

Hello, this is Bing. According to the web, the IGDB API¹² is a video game database API that allows developers to access data on games, genres, platforms, companies and more from IGDB.com. It is free for non-commercial usage under the terms of the Twitch Developer Service Agreement². To use it, you need to sign up with Twitch for a free account, register your application, generate a client secret and make requests using HTTPS and JSON².

I hope this helps. 😊

Hello, this is Bing. According to the web, there is no definitive answer to whether the IGDB API¹² or the RAWG Video Games Database API¹³ is better, as it may depend on your personal preference and project requirements. However, here are some factors that may help you compare them:

• The IGDB API is free for non-commercial usage under the terms of the Twitch Developer Service Agreement, while the RAWG API has a significant monthly fee for non-commercial projects¹.
• The IGDB API provides data on games, genres, platforms, companies and more, while the RAWG API provides data on games, genres, platforms and more²³.
• The IGDB API uses a 10-star rating system for games, while the RAWG API uses a 4-tier rating system (Exceptional, Recommended, Meh, Skip) for games¹.
• The IGDB API requires you to sign up with Twitch for a free account and generate a client secret to use it, while the RAWG API only requires you to get an API key to use it²³.

I hope this helps. 😊
