PS Plus Games API

A Go API to get the current month's free PlayStation Plus games

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

Install Go following the Getting Started section of the Go Programming Language site.

Installing

You can either build it using:

go build

Or simply run it with:

go run main.go

Endpoints

There's only one endpoint:

localhost:8000/free-games

When calling it, it will return a JSON response, with an array containing the games. Each game has the same format:

{
	"title": "Title of the game",
	"console": "Console for this game (for example, PS4)"
}

Extra configuration

In OS X there's a message that pops up every time you run a Go app that has outbound connections. To avoid having that displayed constantly when running it locally, you can set the env var GOENV to 'dev'

export GOENV=dev

Which will run the server while disabling that warning.

Deployment

Use the Official Go Docker image.

Uses

• gorilla/mux - Go router and dispatcher for requests
• goquery - Html parser and CSS selectors, used for scraping
