What is the MMOBomb API?

The MMOBomb API is a free, key-free API cataloguing free-to-play MMOs and online games, with genre, platform, publisher, screenshots and release information, plus a companion endpoint for game giveaways.

MMOBomb focuses specifically on free-to-play online games, which makes it a more curated set than general game databases. Each entry includes a thumbnail, description, genre, platform and a link to play.

The giveaways endpoint is the distinctive part: it tracks currently active free game and DLC giveaways across platforms, which is a genuinely useful feed that most game APIs do not provide at all.
