Here’s a Chrome extension that scrapes Sony’s website to get a list of owned Playstation games

If you’ve ever wanted a list of your digitally purchased/downloaded Playstation games (I have over 500 <sigh>) I wrote this chrome extension that can do it as a test for something else.

It’s crap because it will break if the Sony site changes at all, as well as missing games that weren’t purchased digitally (disc games, for example) but hey, here it is.

Click here for Github source & install/usage instructions

The data it creates is in json format and looks like this:

"games": [
    {
      "title": "Judgment",
      "Size": "30.75GB",
      "PurchaseDate": "7/4/2019",
      "Platforms": [
        "PS4"
      ],
      "productID": "UP0177-CUSA13186_00-JUDGMENTRYUGAENG"
    },
    {
      "title": "Borderlands: The Handsome Collection",
      "Size": "28.64GB",
      "PurchaseDate": "7/4/2019",
      "Platforms": [
        "PS4"
      ],
      "productID": "UP1001-CUSA01401_00-BORDERLANDSHDCOL"
    }, ... and so on

If I cross referenced it with trophy data it would be more accurate.  If anyone knows a better way to get at this data (one that doesn’t break if the user isn’t using English for example…) please let me know.

No plans to add anything else to this but  wanted to throw up a post about it so anybody else working on something similar could find the source if needed.
