getcheapgames

Search the catalogue of PC and console games by title, publisher or genre. Returns each match with its lowest listed price on each platform across all tracked stores, and the franchises and publishers whose names match. Each game has a pageUrl (its price comparison page on getcheapgames.com) and a buyUrl (a redirect through getcheapgames.com to the cheapest store for the market).

Return every tracked offer for one game, in the order its page lists them: official stores first, then marketplaces, each cheapest first by listed price; `best` is the cheapest. Each offer has its currency, platform, region, region-lock status and when its price was last checked and a buyUrl through getcheapgames.com. Marketplace prices exclude the service fee added at checkout.
