How to know which game id belongs to which game?

API
1

Hey, guys. I’m using the new API. I have figured out everything apart from not knowing what id belongs to which game. I want to get all streams of a specific game, for example fortnite, Fifa etc. But i can’t seem to figure out how to query this.
I’ve seen in a couple of other posts that people use game_id but how do i know which id belongs to which game? I couldn’t find any reference to this in the docs.

Thanks in advance.

You need the games API

So lookup “fortnite” to get it’s game_id then pass that to the streams API

Hey, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. So from what you suggest i can’t query streams for a specific game by it’s name right? I have to get the game’s ID first? Thanks

Correct the streams endpoint expects game ID

So yes you have to get the game ID first

Thanks man, appreciate it. It was so confusing to begin with.
