Is anybody having problems with the [rawg.io](http://rawg.io) website? It’s returning a host error and not displaying the game list contents on my project.

If Rawg is not accessible, you can try other video game database APIs. MobyGames works well. Visit the API page through [API Documentation - MobyGames](https://www.mobygames.com/info/api/). Follow the instructions and get started.

You might only need take care to adjust your app’s interfaces to match MobyGames’s database structure. The following code might help too:

export interface Game {  
game\_id: number;  
title: string;  
sample\_cover: GameCover;  
}  
interface GameCover {  
image: string;  
}  
interface FetchGamesResponse {  
games: Game;

Make sure you see the documentation of the database provided on the site.

The same problem happend again in 2026, and I’ve waiting for recovery for a while, do I keep waiting or should I switch to another game database. I can’t register for IGDB, and I don’t want to pay for MobyGames. The only one I can access now is Steam, but it is very limited.

Yeah, I have two options now, Steam web API and IGDB, both are free but the game covered were much fewer than rawg.
