An experimental, lightweight GraphQL wrapper for the OpenCritic API.

Setup

npm install
npm start

The server will run on localhost:4000 by default

Testing

There is one simple integration test that can be run with: npm run test

Info

The server uses apollo-server. It is run with babel-node to support imports (for ease of organizing typedefs and resolvers) and runs with nodemon.

The server uses Apollo data sources for fetching and deduplication. Running the server with npm run debug will log the OpenCritic API requests being made.

Schema and Types

I didn't take the time to wrap the entire REST API, but through this endpoint you can:

• Search games by keyword
• Retrieve information about a game
• Get the review snippets and scores for each game

There are typedefs for the following fields from OpenCritic's API:

• Game
• Platform
• Review
• Outlet
• Author

Example query

query {
    games(filter: "witcher 3") {
    id
    name
    Platforms {
      shortName
    }
    Reviews {
      snippet
      score
    }
  }
}
