kocher/switcharoo repository overview

⁠SWITCHAROO

Fetches the current switch games on sale from the nintendo store. Also looks up the metacritic score. The final result will be a basic data table, sorted by metacritic rating. Works for european :video_game: store only.

⁠Setup

Simply install and run it:

npm install
npm start

Since that's probably the first time starting the application, you'll need to open you browser and navigate to the fetch endpoint at http://localhost:3000/fetch⁠. This may take a while. If everything goes well you'll be notified with the amount of games found. You'll also find a games.json file at data/games.json⁠.

At localhost:3000⁠ you should now find something similar to the sceenshot above. :see_no_evil:

⁠Sources

Fetching of scores from metacritic is done by node-metacritic⁠
