Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Access the API:
    • Use the provided API endpoint to access the game data.
    • Ensure you have the necessary authentication credentials.
  2. Fetch Game Data:
    • Send a GET request to the API endpoint to retrieve the game data in XML or JSON format.
    • Example (for JSON):
      python
      import requests

url = "https://api.lala.games/games"
headers = {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
game_data = response.json()
  3. Parse Game Data:
    • Parse the fetched game data to extract the required fields.
    • Example (for JSON):
      python
      game_list = []
for game in game_data:
    game_info = {
        "id": game["id"],
        "name": game["name"],
        "gameurl": game["gameurl"],
        "gametype": game["gametype"],
        "gamecode": game["gamecode"],
        "category": game["category"],
        "date": game["date"],
        "description": game["description"],
        "instructions": game["instructions"],
        "width": game["width"],
        "height": game["height"],
        "tags": game["tags"],
        "thumbnail": game["thumbnail"],
        "screenshot_1": game["screenshot_1"],
        "screenshot_2": game["screenshot_2"],
        "screenshot_3": game["screenshot_3"],
        "screenshot_4": game["screenshot_4"]
    }
    game_list.append(game_info)
  4. Import Game Data:
    • Use the parsed game data to import it into the TV operator’s platform.
    • Ensure the data is correctly mapped to the platform’s fields.
  5. Verify the Import:
    • Check the imported data on the TV operator’s platform to ensure everything is correct.
    • Make any necessary adjustments or fixes.
