How to call it

A starting template for Board Game Geek. Replace ENDPOINT with the path from the official documentation, which we link above rather than guess at.

# No authentication required.
curl -s "https://boardgamegeek.com/ENDPOINT" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

This API does not send CORS headers, so a browser will block a direct call from your front end. Call it from your server, or put a small proxy in front of it.

Board Game Geek — common questions

Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.

Is Board Game Geek free to use?

Board Game Geek is listed in our free catalogue and required no credential when we called it. It needs no authentication at all, so you can send a request without signing up. Free tiers can still carry rate limits or non-commercial terms, so check the provider's own terms before shipping.

Does Board Game Geek need an API key?

No. We called Board Game Geek on 2026-09-18 with no key, no token and no Authorization header, and it responded. That is what puts it in our no-key collection.

Can I call Board Game Geek from browser JavaScript?

Not directly. Board Game Geek did not return CORS headers when we checked, so the browser will block your page from reading the response even though the request itself succeeds. Call it from a server, or put a small proxy in front of it.

Is Board Game Geek still working?

Not at our last check on 2026-09-18. Board Game Geek did not respond successfully, which is why it is marked as down here. This may be temporary; we re-check on a schedule and the badge above reflects the most recent run.

Is Board Game Geek available over HTTPS?

Yes. Board Game Geek serves over HTTPS, so you can call it from a secure page without triggering a mixed-content block.
