Brings back the "common data" of a magazine article of which you know the unique Mag Article ID. The Mag Article ID for an article is revealed by a call to getMagazineReviewQuotesByItemID. If that call does not bring back all of the information you require then you may consider a call to this. Note that this call does not bring back the article itself; for that you require getMagArticleTxtByMagArticleID.
To get the common data of a magazine article, substitute [mag_article_id] into the following URL:
/api/getMagArticleDataByMagArticleId/index/mag_article_id/[mag_article_id]/ |
For example, hitting the URL below will return the following JSON response:
/api/getMagArticleDataByMagArticleId/index/mag_article_id/26391/ |
{ "response": { "mag_article_title":"ACE (Cascade Games)", "mag_article_byline":"", "article_id":26391, "author_name":"CB", "mag_language":"English", "mag_name":"Amstrad Action", "issue_vol_txt":"Amstrad Action #18", "mag_id":21, "mag_issue_id":1211, "mag_article_id":26391, "scores": { "Grab Factor":"58%", "Graphics":"48%", "Sonics":"24%", "Staying Power":"48%", "Overall":"54%" }, "article_type_desc":"Review" }
Whilst many of the key->value pairs in the response may be self-explanatory, the following table gives a little more information
on what the key designates. (If you are showing articles provided by Everygamegoing on your own site, you will likely be most interested in the scores array!)
