Hello! I apologize if you misunderstood my request. I am aware that you do not have an API. I want to create my own software program and/or API. However, developing this program would require a lot of data on games.

Renascene already has a big database, so I was hoping to use your database for the program I am developing. Would this be possible?

Honestly i don't think that creating such a software need a lot of actual data.
In fact we have some API for sharing psp release info as json structure, but it closed for now because of server migration. By now you cat tell us what data requests are you planning to use.

Hello! Sorry about the long wait, I got a bit buried in schoolwork for a while there.

I love what you have put together at Renascene, but your resources are limited to only a few game consoles. My end goal is to put together a website, web application, and possibly a standalone program that combines the detailed data for all games from all game consoles. Naturally, this will require a lot of time and a lot of data pertaining to the video games for each console, including everything from basic information (name, publisher, genre, languages) to less common information such as file checksums of all the ROM/ISO dumps.

I believe the Renascene databases could help significantly towards completing the PS3, PSVita, PSP, PSX2PSP, and 3DS sections. I was planning on writing my own API(s) to communicate between the databases and application, but a pre-configured JSON structure for PSP data could be useful. Naturally, I also plan to use similar resources from other well known maintainers such as No-Intro and Redump.
