This repository contains the code to parse and build a Nintendo Switch game list in JSON using the Game List from switchbrew and the Community Provided list from RenanGreca/Switch-Screenshots repository.

There are two resulting JSON files:

• switch_games.json: Will have all information from SwitchBrew with the merged information from RenanGreca's file.
• switch_id_names.json: Will only have a map of encrypted game id: game name.

Where to obtain the list?

List is published in the github pages for this repository and access it can be downloaded at https://fmartingr.github.io/switch-games-json/, just point to the file that more suites your use case.

List is updated weekly via Github actions.
