Obsidian plugin that automatically creates notes by searching for video games

🤘 Hi, I'm Calvin

I write about all my completed projects over at my Build Log (I call this a "BLOG")

But here on GH you might find some unfinished or more experimental work as well.

I do this all just for fun but if for some reason you like something I made and want to make I gesture I suggest making a donation to one of these orgs:

obsidian-game-search-plugin's Issues

Question marks and pipe symbols are not sanitized from game names

Steps

• Setup plugin
• Connect API key
• Do a game search for a game with a question mark in it's name (i.e. "WHAT THE GOLF?")

Result

Ability to display array object as list instead of a comma separated text

Hello! I was wondering why the arrays object uses commas by default, as having it using a list format could make it easier to use on obsidian ? Would that be something that can be added ? Thank you for your time

HowLongToBeat Intgration

Is there any possibility of adding it to the plugin?

Cannot find the template file example

It would be great having an example template with supported variables.

Creating a new game note gives error

Describe the bug

Creating a new game note gives the following error:

To Reproduce

1. Create a new game note.
2. Search for a game.
3. Select a game to create a new note.

Expected behavior

Mew note should be created with the provided template.

Error: request failed, status 401

Hi there! I'm trying to set the plugin up but I'm encountering the error in the title.

Steps:

1. Get RAWG API Key from https://rawg.io/@username_here/apikey
2. Set the RAWG API Key, Folder, File Name, and Template in General Settings of the Plugin
3. Execute command Game Search: Create new game note
4. Type a game keyword, e.g. Sekiro
5. Click Search button

Result:

1. Error: request failed, status 401

Do I need to use a different API Key or is this currently a bug?

Thank you!

Tags variable isn't being correctly serialized

Steps

• Setup plugin
• Connect API key
• Create a template file with the tags variable in it
• Set template in settings
• Create new book game note

Result

Can we get publisher added?

The API already spits it out, so could we please get that added to the incoming information?

ribbon icon missing

Hello ! There is no icon on my end, is there an icon yet ?

Create a way to "Update All" Game notes currently made.

Premise

Add a command to Update all of the current games to the latest template. This allows the user to easily both change the template and incorporate new data.
This allows us to plan out different sections and steadily incorporate parts of the API. Particularly I would like this for the sake of the new Publisher feature and I would also like to more easily add the ESRB ratings.

How to fix this error message??

When I enter the name of any game in the Search Game field, it doesn't work with an error message like below.

I got the API key and entered it.

"Error: Request failed, status 401"

I tested it by typing https://api.rawg.io/api/platforms?key={my API key}
and it works.
