[Suggestion] Web API for steamgifts (to see how long till ga is over)

get the .html of the page and look for the line with time and date of ga end. you find it just a few lines after the end of the header.

pick it out via regex or ba position inside the html.

example: for this ga you find the correct line in line 217.

or just search for "fa fa-clock-o" (in the src)

The king of API decrees... Steamgifts already has a Web API

It would be nice to have API. It may be usefull for mobile apps developers. I know that html can be parsed. I just don't think this is good method:)

Yeah an API would be useful. I am facing the exact same problem as you since most of my giveaways are group giveaways. Was gonna propose to have SG about opening up the group GAs to allow public user to see (just not able to enter). But your suggestion works too.

Currently using the dynamic signature as workaround...

Yes, I would really really really love this feature to be added.
And it's really easy too.
With the following code you can easily make JSON output

What I would really like to get is a JSON that gives info about a single giveaway:

• Giveaway status (open / ended / cancelled)
• Gift name
• Gift steam appid
• Gift bundle/nonbundle status
• Number of copies
• steamgifts username of creator
• steamid of creator
• Giveaway creation time
• Giveaway start time
• Giveaway end time
• Description
• who can enter information
• Number of entries
• steamid's of those who have entered
• Number of comments
• steamid's of those who have commented
• is the gift recieved
• steamid of winner

Also I like to have a JSON that gives a list of all giveaways for a certain steam group.
Example: I want a list of all giveaways that were made for the group 'bundlequest'.

• number of giveaways
• giveaway id
• giveaway is open / ended / cancelled status
