Description

Käufer is a tool for triggering web browser searches for games availability in the most popular digital distribution stores.

The idea of creating it came to me as I realized that less popular stores do not have any kind of useful web API that could be used for querying their offer. Therefore, it is significantly easier to just trigger a regular search in web browser.

Käufer is written in Python 3 and currently Linux-only compatible.

Some of the supported stores include:

• itch.io
• GOG.com
• Humble Store
• Steam
• Google Play
• Kartridge
• iTunes (App Store) via Google Search
• Epic Games Store
• Origin (EA)
• Ubisoft Store (UPlay)
• Nintendo Switch
• PlayStation Store
• Microsoft Store (Xbox One and Windows 10)
• Bethesda.net

Dependencies

• Python 3
• PyQt5

They can be installed on Debian/Ubuntu by running:

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pyqt5

Usage

Start the GUI

./gui.py

or in the CLI

./kaufer.py "Fallout 3"
./kaufer.py "Minit"
