Tools (9)

• find_games460 tok

  Find paid games by genre, platform and highest price, most popular and best rated first. Use it for open requests such as "a strategy game under 20 on PC"; to look up a named game use search_games, for free games list_free_to_play, and for the biggest discounts list_deals. Every filter is optional and they combine: `genre` is a Steam genre, `platform` pc, xbox, playstation or switch, and `max_price` is in the currency `country` sets (20 means 20 GBP for gb), met by an in-stock key's listed price. The ranking weights Steam's share of positive reviews by review count, games with 500 reviews or m

• list_free_to_play359 tok

  Return free-to-play games, which cost nothing to play, most reviewed on Steam first. Use it when the reader wants something free; for paid games within a budget use find_games, and for discounts list_deals. `genre` (a Steam genre) and `platform` (pc, xbox, playstation or switch) narrow the list and combine; `limit` returns 1-24 (default 5), with `total` the full count. There are no prices and no promoted placements. The result also says where signed-in members claim the time-limited free-to-keep giveaways, which are not listed here. Each game links to its page on getcheapgames.com.

• get_game_offers339 tok

  Return every tracked offer for one game: each store's listed price, region, region lock, stock and seller, plus `best`, the cheapest in-stock offer in the market's currency. Use it when the reader wants to compare stores, editions or regions for a game, after search_games, find_games or list_deals has given its `slug`; their summaries already carry the lowest price per platform. `slug` is lower-case with hyphens (elden-ring), and an unknown slug returns an error result; `country` sets the currency `best` is chosen in and which keys are flagged regionLocked, as they may not activate in that mar

• get_franchise_games334 tok

  Return the games in one franchise or series, such as every Call of Duty, with each one's lowest listed price per platform: grouped by sub-series, newest release first, each game's editions after it. Use it for questions about a whole series; for one publisher's catalogue use get_publisher_games, and for one game's store offers get_game_offers. `name` must be the franchise's exact name, as search_games lists it under franchises (Assassin's Creed), and an unknown name returns an error result. `limit` returns 1-100 games (default 24); `total` is the franchise's full size, which can exceed it. Lin

• search_games331 tok

  Search games by title and return each match's lowest listed price per platform, plus the franchises and publishers whose names match. Use it when the reader names a game, series or publisher, or to get the `slug` that get_game_offers needs; for open requests by genre, platform or budget use find_games, and for what is on sale use list_deals. `query` is matched against titles, typo-tolerant: titles starting with it first, then titles containing it, then the closest; `limit` caps the games at 1-50 (default 10). Only priced games are returned, and no match gives empty lists, not an error. Links g

• list_news317 tok

  Return getcheapgames' latest editorial posts, newest first: news, buying guides, reviews, deals roundups and videos. Use it for gaming news or the site's articles; for prices use search_games or get_game_offers. `tag` keeps one kind, and `query` keeps posts whose title or summary contains its words, ignoring case, among the newest 48; both combine. `country` picks the language, a post's translation where it has one and English otherwise; `limit` returns 1-12 (default 5), and none found gives an empty list.

• get_publisher_games314 tok

  Return one publisher's games, alphabetically by title, with each one's lowest listed price per platform. Use it for a publisher's catalogue, such as everything from Rockstar Games; for a series, which can span publishers, use get_franchise_games, and for one game's store offers get_game_offers. `slug` is the publisher's id as search_games lists it under publishers (rockstar-games), and an unknown slug returns an error result. Only priced games are returned, 1-100 per call (`limit`, default 24); `total` is the full count, which can exceed it. Links go through getcheapgames.com and carry the sto

• list_deals271 tok

  Return today's biggest savings across the catalogue: paid games whose cheapest in-stock key is furthest below the regular price (the official store's, where it sells the game), largest percentage first, as on the site's Deals page. Use it for what is on sale right now; for a named game use search_games, and to filter by genre, platform or budget use find_games. `limit` returns 1-50 games (default 10), and `country` sets the currency, so which offers count. Each game includes its saving and its 30-day low. Links go through getcheapgames.com and carry the stores' partner tracking; listed prices

• list_stores217 tok

  Return the stores getcheapgames compares, official stores and key marketplaces, with each one's coverage in the market's currency. Use it to say which stores are covered or which most often has the lowest price; for one game's price at each store use get_game_offers. `country` sets the currency the counts are taken in: timesCheapest is how many of the ofGamesCompared games a store is cheapest for right now, and a store with nothing priced in that currency has null counts, not zero. Also returns how offers are ranked and the site's totals of games and offers tracked.
