GameBanana Likes Graph

A serverless API that generates a star-history style graph for GameBanana submissions showing likes over time.

Inspired by star-history

Usage

Embed the graph in your mods description by replacing {SECTION} and {ID} with your GameBanana submission details:

If you have a lot of likes (500+) it might time-out initially, just refresh.

<img src="https://gamebanana-likes.vercel.app/api/graph?section={SECTION}&id={ID}&theme={THEME}" alt="Likes Graph">

Parameters

• section: GameBanana section type. Examples: Tool, Mod, Scipt, Sound, Spray, Wip (find it in your GameBanana URL, notice the capitalization)
• id: Your submission ID (also find it in your GameBanana URL)
• theme: light, dark, or trans (transparent, optional, defaults to light)
• For GameBanana, I recommend the trans theme.

Notes

• The graph caches for 1 hour
• Supports up to 12,500 likes (250 pages)

How it works

1. Fetches submission details from GameBanana API
2. Fetches all likes with pagination from GameBanana API
3. Extracts the _tsDateAdded timestamp from each like
4. Groups likes by date and creates cumulative counts
