A script to get informations about gog.com games

[ripe]

Hi,
I write a script that use an OpenBSD-games-database (https://github.com/playonbsd/OpenBSD-Games-Database) and retrieves informations about that games from GOG.com. Launch the script with

$./pobsdvgof.0.4.sh

with the option -r (rate and count values, ie how many people voted and their rating), -d (date of the end of promo for sales games), -a (for all this informations), -g game (one game), -l (list with one game per line). I notice that "-ga" or "-g a" will retrieve all games and the output is in the terminal.
Informations are saved in files, or show in terminal for one game and for the option "-ga" or "g a" also.
The script produces and deletes files so I advice to put it in a own directory.

The script takes time as it can retrieve 141 games (on GOG.com).

$ time ./pobsdvgof.0.4.sh 
4m39.08s real     0m22.26s user     0m24.79s system

One game is fast, for a list of 8 games:

time ./pobsdvgof_0.4.sh -l my_list_gog_game
0m11.69s real     0m01.79s user     0m02.07s system

This script use sed, gsed, awk, curl, I write it in ksh language.

I tried a different script with steam and humblebundle games, not so evolve as this one. A script with steam games requires a different code + there is restriction age for some games that I can not know how to go through with curl. With humblebundle I do not know how to retrieve the sale value in the html code as it seems not to appear.
You can add a "-s" to curl to make it silence.

It is an experience and learning.

Enjoy and of course I am not responsible if it break your system!

Same for itch.io games, based on the same OpenBSD games database.
When a "?" appear, it means that there is no rating value and/or rating count.

Same for humblebundle games.
Age check, I dont know how to pass value with curl, I try with https://reqbin.com/req/c-sma2qrvp/cu...t-form-example but I am not enought practice of web.

Same for steam games. There is 385 games, it takes time to retrieve all the informations with

./pobsd_steam_0.97.sh -a

Maybe best is to use for one game or a list of games .
I cant pass trough age check with curl, I dont know how.
