Do you have a way to filter duplicates? I just took a look at the iOS list and there are a few games that are on all 3 of the first 3 pages.

I love the idea, and will use this to help find games for our family iPad.



Hmm, there should be no duplicates, something is iffy. Do you know which games?


I see The Room series of games multiple times.


Oops, that seems to be a pagination problem (they're only in the database once, as you can see here: https://nobsgames.stavros.io/ios/?name=room). I will investigate, thank you.

EDIT: iOS games have a rating that's quantized 0.5 apart, so all the 5-star games were sorting unstably. Sorting by "-rating, -reviews" seems to have fixed that (and is more useful), thanks.


Are you sure about that? You report Bacon the Game as a 5, but https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bacon-the-game/id1413085106 lists it as 4.8 out of 5.


Unfortunately, yes:

https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1413085106

However, since that API is very barebones and I'm scraping the page anyway, I'll scrape the rating as well, thank you for the heads up.
