GOG Data Scraping

GOG sells the same game as a file you keep, which changes what the catalogue is for.

GOG sells DRM-free builds — standalone installers rather than a client requirement — which makes its catalogue the reference point for availability of older titles. Its preservation programme, launched in November 2024, commits to testing and maintaining listed classics on current systems, and the programme page listed 305 games when checked in September 2026. Ownership is a dated fact: an acquisition by an original co-founder was announced on 29 December 2025. Every record carries its data basis — public page, official API, or licensed and therefore excluded — and nothing unpublished is modelled, so a figure a source does not publish comes back null with a reason.

For delisted-elsewhere titles this store is often the only public price, so absence matters as much as price.

GOG at a glance

How we handle GOG specifically

Platform-specific handling, not a generic retail template pointed at a different domain.

Model: DRM-free installers
Preservation: Programme launched November 2024
Listed: 305 games as checked Sept 2026
Ownership: Acquisition announced 29 December 2025
Status: Recorded as a dated announcement
Currencies: A small set, not per-country tiers
Catalogue: Strong on older and delisted titles
Refresh: Daily, hourly during sales

Platform specifics

Catalogue as availability data

These are the reasons a GOG dataset needs its own handling rather than a shared retail schema.

Availability fields

On this store the interesting question is often whether a title is purchasable at all, and for how long it has been listed.

drm_free_flag as the store states it.
preservation_flag where a title is in the programme.
first_seen and delisted_at for availability history.
currency recorded, since the store uses fewer than the largest platforms.

Ownership news, and what we do not do

Ownership news

An announced acquisition is stored with its date and source and is not written as a completed change until it completes. See our Humble Store page.

Data basis

Prices stay attached to their storefront, region and currency, and a historical low is only ever computed from our own observation archive, as the gaming and sports hub describes.

What we do not do

Download an installer, use an account, state an announced deal as closed, or infer a delisting from one missing page.

Scope

What we collect on GOG, and what we do not

The right column matters more than the left. Anyone can list fields; the limits are what tell you whether the dataset will hold up.

✅ What we collect

DRM-free status as stated
Preservation listings flagged
Availability history kept
Currency on every price
Ownership news dated
Delistings confirmed across runs
Edition structure captured
Historical low from our own archive
Daily refresh

❌ What we do not, and why

Downloading builds
Accounts or libraries
Announced deals stated as closed
Delistings from one absence
Modelled sales figures

How we engage

Three ways to engage us

Same collection pipeline and QA underneath. The difference is who holds the schedule and how the data reaches you.

Managed service (most common)

We own the collection, the QA and the delivery. You receive clean data on a schedule and never touch a scraper.

Dedicated engineer assigned to your account
Site changes fixed by us, not reported to you
Scheduled delivery to your warehouse or S3
Named contact on Slack or email

Best fit: Teams who need the data, not the infrastructure.

API access

The same collection pipeline exposed as an authenticated REST endpoint your systems query directly.

On-demand and scheduled endpoints
Rate limits agreed to your load profile
Sandbox keys for integration testing
Versioned schema with deprecation notice

Best fit: Product and engineering teams building on live data.

One-time or project extraction

A defined pull for a specific question — market sizing, diligence, a pitch, a one-off audit.

Fixed scope agreed in writing upfront
Single delivery with full QA report
Methodology documented for your records
Converts to managed if you want continuity

Best fit: Research, strategy and diligence work with a deadline.

Pricing

Every engagement is quoted individually, because the honest answer depends on your scope: how many sources, how many records, how often, and how the data reaches you. We scope it with you, run a free pilot on your own sources, and then quote a fixed monthly figure — no per-request metering and no overage billing when volumes move. Request a quote and you will have a number after one call.

GOG is usually collected alongside its competitors

Almost nobody buys a single platform in isolation. GOG data becomes useful when it sits next to the competitor set on one schema, refreshed on one schedule, so a price index or availability comparison is genuinely like-for-like.

That is what gaming & sports data covers, and a GOG-only engagement can be expanded into it without rebuilding. If you already know you need several platforms, start there instead — it is the same pipeline and usually the better scoping conversation.
