GOG Galaxy Integrations Python API
This Python library allows to easily build community integrations for various gaming platforms with GOG Galaxy 2.0.
- refer to our documentation
Features
Each integration in GOG Galaxy 2.0 comes as a separate Python script, and is launched as a separate process, that which needs to communicate with main instance of GOG Galaxy 2.0.
The provided features are:
- multistep authorisation using a browser built into GOG Galaxy 2.0
- support for GOG Galaxy 2.0 features:
- importing owned and detecting installed games
- installing and launching games
- importing achievements and game time
- importing friends lists and statuses
- importing friends recomendations list
- receiving and sending chat messages
- cache storage
Basic usage
Eeach integration should inherit from the :class:~galaxy.api.plugin.Plugin class. Supported methods like :meth:~galaxy.api.plugin.Plugin.get_owned_games should be overwritten - they are called from the GOG Galaxy client in the appropriate times.
Each of those method can raise exceptions inherited from the :exc:~galaxy.api.jsonrpc.ApplicationError.
Communication between an integration and the client is also possible with the use of notifications, for example: :meth:~galaxy.api.plugin.Plugin.update_local_game_status.
import sys
from galaxy.api.plugin import Plugin, create_and_run_plugin
from galaxy.api.consts import Platform
class PluginExample(Plugin):
def __init__(self, reader, writer, token):
super().__init__(
Platform.Generic, # Choose platform from available list
"0.1", # Version
reader,
writer,
token
)
# implement methods
async def authenticate(self, stored_credentials=None):
pass
def main():
create_and_run_plugin(PluginExample, sys.argv)
# run plugin event loop
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Deployment
The client has a built-in Python 3.7 interpreter, so the integrations are delivered as .py files.
The additional manifest.json file is required:
{
"name": "Example plugin",
"platform": "generic",
"guid": "UNIQUE-GUID",
"version": "0.1",
"description": "Example plugin",
"author": "Name",
"email": "author@email.com",
"url": "https://github.com/user/galaxy-plugin-example",
"script": "plugin.py"
}
