itch.io-api-upload-check

Guide on how to check details of game uploads using itch.io's fee API key

1. Register an account https://itch.io/register and log in:

   

2. Generate an API key on https://itch.io/user/settings/api-keys:

   

3. On the game page, for example https://ingdani.itch.io/marianne, right click the page and open the source:

   

4. CTRL+F search for game_id and copy the number, 2236407 in this case:

   

5. Insert your API key and game_id number into the /uploads API URL call:

   

   

6. The result ("Pretty-print" recommended) will show you creation/update dates. Looks like updated_at gets updated when the created_at upload finishes. (It also gets updated if the file gets replaced, however often uploaders on itch first delete the old version and then upload the new one anew)

   

Here are a bunch of variations for easy copy paste/doubleclick insert replacement:

https://itch.io/api/1/API_KEY_GOES_HERE/game/2236407/uploads
https://itch.io/api/1/API_KEY_GOES_HERE/game/GAME_ID_GOES_HERE/uploads
https://itch.io/api/1/ /game/ /uploads
https://itch.io/api/1//game//uploads

Once you use this 1-2 times, entering '/uploads' into the URL bar should get the last used one from your history, so you don't have to insert the API key each time. Or just bookmark https://itch.io/api/1/[insert_your_api_key_here]/game/GAME_ID_GOES_HERE/uploads (with your API KEY pre-inserted.
