How to use GamesRadar+ endpoints

GamesRadar+'s public feeds can combine gaming and wider entertainment research while preserving the original section and author data. Its reviews policy uses a five-star scale and explicitly labels unfinished reviews as 'Review In Progress' without a score; those records should not be treated as final verdicts. GamesRadar+ also covers film, TV, hardware, buying guidance, and walkthroughs, so a game-release monitor should separate adaptations and equipment deals from game reviews. Keep media type, editorial format, publication date, score state, and URL with each record. A 2026-10-27 pull found 21 sections whose depth differed sharply: games returned 139 stories reaching back to 2025-08-01, over a year, while the news route returned only 50 from the last two days.

Step 1
Choose among 21 hubs and sub-sections
The sections route lists 21 slugs: top-level hubs (games, hardware, entertainment) and sub-sections such as games-guides, games-reviews, hardware-news, hardware-reviews, entertainment-tv, lego and dungeons-and-dragons.
Step 2
Use the type field
Each headline item carries a type besides title and URL, with publication time, author and image when available. Store the type to separate reviews, guides and news.
Step 3
Include review pages
Article calls take a canonical gamesradar.com URL. Game and hardware review pages work too, with the author taken from the page's byline.
Step 4
Send one author identifier and a page
The author route takes a slug (for example rosalie-newcombe) or a URL, exactly one. A 1-based page parameter, default 1, overrides any page in the URL, and each call returns one page.
Step 5
Use section feeds for backfill and the news route for freshness
The games section returned 139 stories from 2025-08-01 13:00 UTC to 2026-10-26 23:58, each with a byline and image but no summary. The cross-section news route returned 50 stories from 2026-10-25 to 2026-10-26, all with summaries.
Step 6
Filter by the type field
Rows include a type field, and the videos section returned 136 rows with no byline or summary. Keep or drop video items deliberately, since they have a different shape from articles.
