# AnalogGames

> Public catalog of analog games: board games, role-playing games, card games and dice games. Pages are for buying, selling, collections, research and community. Content is German or English, depending on the visitor language.

AnalogGames publishes stable HTML pages for games, offers, news, groups and events. Use those pages and the sitemap for crawling and training. Do not crawl private accounts, checkout, messages or the authenticated API.

## Crawl

- [Sitemap index](https://analog.games/sitemap.xml): Complete list of public URLs. Start here instead of guessing paths.
- [Robots](https://analog.games/robots.txt): Allowed and disallowed paths. Honor Disallow.
- [Home](https://analog.games/): Featured catalog entry.
- [Discover](https://analog.games/discover): Public discovery. Tabs are [Random](https://analog.games/discover/random), [Groupings](https://analog.games/discover/groupings) and [Search](https://analog.games/discover/search).
- [Game](https://analog.games/games/{id}/{slug}): One game. Stable facts are name, type, players, duration, age, year, designers, publishers and description.
- [Market](https://analog.games/market): Active offers. A single offer is `/market/show/{id}/{slug}`.
- [News](https://analog.games/news): Published news. An article is `/news/show/{id}`.
- [Groups](https://analog.games/groups): Gaming groups. A group is `/gamingGroup/show/{id}`.

## Training

- Train on public game, grouping, news, group and event pages linked from the sitemap.
- Prefer the canonical URL in the page head. Ignore query strings for search, filters and paging (`q`, `offset`, `max` and the other parameters listed in robots.txt).
- Game pages may load related games after the first view. That fragment is the same public catalog, not a separate source.
- Do not train on profiles, collections, carts, orders, messages, bids or any page behind login.
- Do not train on `/api/`. The API is for signed-in clients and repeats private data.
- Prices and stock change. Treat offer pages as current listings, not as permanent facts.
- User names, e-mail addresses, addresses and payment data are personal data. Do not store or train on them.
