Hello everyone, I have a question to fellow programmers in the community about retrieving data from GOG.

A little intro here... I have been a programmer for many years now and C++ is my main weapon. Due to professional requirements (and personal interest) I have been developing desktop applications only. But because I like learning new stuff, I recently started messing with JavaScript to get into web-related technologies.

I have followed some online tutorials and managed to make some (very) simple scripts. Now I want to dive a bit deeper and do something more useful :) So I thought I could retrieve data from my GOG account, more specifically game info from my library.

Before anyone jumps the gun, I know some community members have created great tools to do such operations. I do not intend to reinvent the wheel here, I want to start from scratch purely for educational purposes. (Well, if I manage to create something good I would love to contribute to the community here of course)

Coming from a desktop-oriented background I would appreciate anyone's help (and patience?) for assisting me in any way on how to start (connection establishment, authentication, library queries, gog API...).

Hey, thanks for posting the link (I have already skimmed through it previously).

What I am looking for, though, is more of a how-to because I have no previous experience in retrieving such data through JavaScript, JSON, etc.
