Redeem keys on external stores (GOG, Microsoft, Legacy Games)

[vogler]

TODO for prime-gaming: redeem shown game keys on external stores:

• GOG - https://www.gog.com/redeem
  Known responses: Invalid or no captcha, code_used, code_not_found
  Missing: unused key + not logged in
• microsoft games - https://redeem.microsoft.com
  Known responses: NotFound
  Missing: unused key
• legacy games - https://www.legacygames.com/primedeal
  Always succeeds for same email (using PG_EMAIL), even if key was already used.

From README:

Claiming the Amazon Games works out-of-the-box, however, for games on external stores you need to either link your account or redeem a key.

• Stores that require account linking: Epic Games, Battle.net, Origin.
• Stores that require redeeming a key: GOG.com, Microsoft Games, Legacy Games.

The screenshots are just a fallback. The keys are also stored in data/prime-gaming.json (just search for "code").

Example:

    "Doors: Paradox": {
      "title": "Doors: Paradox",
      "time": "2022-12-29 14:27:59.367",
      "store": "internal"
    },
    "Dishonored 2": {
      "title": "Dishonored 2",
      "time": "2022-12-29 14:28:01.425",
      "store": "gog.com",
      "code": "NNEK0987AB20DFBF8F",
      "url": "https://gaming.amazon.com/loot/dishonored2?ingress=amzn&ref_=SM_D2F_P1_CRWN"
    },
    "Quake": {
      "title": "Quake",
      "time": "2022-12-29 14:28:12.829",
      "store": "epic games store",
      "url": "https://gaming.amazon.com/loot/quake?ingress=amzn&ref_=SM_Q01F_P1_CRWN"
    },

I added a WIP option PG_REDEEM, but I can't test it further without unused keys to redeem.
The log will include a line Response: .... Please post yours if it is not already listed in the initial post above.

@Izanagi52 Thanks, undefined reason fixed. Was the game claimed afterwards?

[Izanagi52]

No it wasn't.
I have claimed it manually

[kennymc-c]

Just tried it with but got no response code at all after waiting several minutes. It just stops and doesn't continue with GOG. The key wasn't claimed on Legacy Games and had to be manually redeemed afterwards.

[Izanagi52]

Same logs as above, and the script doesn't continue after that too (even after almost 30 minutes).
But for me, the key was successfully redeemed.

I closed the legacy game tabs via VNC, and the script resumed, and successfully finished without error.

[Izanagi52]

For Legacy Games, the game is redeemed, but the script stop and doesn't continue automatically (so notification are not send, and it doesn't continue to GOG)
And after a while, it crash with this log :
unexpected EOF

[vogler]

@Izanagi52 The timeout was due to a debugging pause, should be fixed with a90f90a (fixup: 22f6732).

[Izanagi52]

@vogler Yes, I can confirm it works perfectly now!

[Paffnsn]

What do I need to set instead of a "0" as a default entry to redeem for example games on the epic store?

[vogler]

@Paffnsn There's just 0 and 1 which will try to redeem games for all external stores. For epic-games you just need to have your account linked on prime-gaming.

[kennymc-c]

I noticed that when an external (Epic) account is not linked (anymore) the script doesn't recognizing this and treats every try to claim an external game as a successful claim although the game has not been claimed.

bit if the same for gog. When a redeem is unsuccesfull (gog captcha for example) then it will never retry.

[vogler]

When a redeem is unsuccesfull (gog captcha for example) then it will never retry.

That is true, prime-gaming.js just checks for unclaimed games, and after getting the key, it's claimed on prime-gaming.
However, the notification should say that it failed and include the key and link to redeem it.

Could maybe add some option to retry keys in data/prime-gaming.json that have been claimed from prime-gaming but not successfully redeemed on the external store.
