videogame-id-by-name	Get Game ID from Videogame Name

In this example, we show how to get a videogame ID from a videogame's name.

This allows you to easily filter tournaments by their videogame and other game-specific operations.

If your game is not showing up, please try a less specific parameter. If you have too many games showing up, try something more specific.

You cannot filter by displayName, but displayName may help with some disimbiguation when needed.

Example #1 (Single Videogame)

import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs'; import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';

<Tabs defaultValue="graphql" values={[ { label: 'Request', value: 'graphql', }, { label: 'Response', value: 'json', }, ] }>

query VideogameQuery {
  videogames(query: { filter: { name: "Super Smash Bros" }, perPage: 5 }) {
    nodes {
      id
      name
      displayName
    }
  }
}
