Release-List: Some games seem to be missing

Hi everyone,

I'm playing around with a small script that generates a list with future games releases, mainly for coding practice reasons. After some trial and error, I found that the following API request seems to be working very well for my purposes:

https://www.giantbomb.com/api/releases/?api_key=MY-API-KEY&filter=platform:146|35|129|143|88|145|20|86|157|117|138|139|94|17|152,release_date:2017-04-16|2017-07-31&format=json&field_list=name,release_date,platform,expected_release_day,expected_release_month,expected_release_year,expected_release_quarter&sort=release_date:asc&offset=0

From what I understand it should show me every upcoming game release between April 16th and July 31st, filtered for all platforms I am interested in. The results were looking good, so I started coding.

And when I was (mostly) done, I was looking for the game "Prey" (to be released on May 5th, according to https://www.giantbomb.com/prey/3030-54211/) as an example. Turns out, it's not in there, not shown with this API request.

Any idea what I am missing?

Your request is for releases. The Prey page you linked is for the game. It looks like no one attached a release to the game yet. That is why Prey is not showing up in your release request.

Hmmm... When I search for Prey with a game-query-request via the API (e.g. https://www.giantbomb.com/api/search/?api_key=API-KEY&format=json&query=%22prey%22&resources=game), the "expected_release_day" etc fields are complete...

Is there a better api requests that also catches games that have a release date but no release yet in the giantbomb wiki?
