Nice thank you so much!

But yeah I hope Leafo will respond because this method works but only if the user gives it’s api key (it do not work with OAuth api key…) (And another problem is that with this method I can’t download the butler patch, I always need to download again the whole game)

Yeah I think you may have better luck with butlerd https://github.com/itchio/butler/tree/master/butlerd - basically butler is a command line interface to butlerd which is a daemon with JSON RPC interface. I did not try it myself, but the docs seem to be pretty comprehensive https://docs.itch.ovh/butlerd/master/ .

GameHub launcher apparently uses butlerd for itch.io integration https://github.com/tkashkin/GameHub/tree/master/src/data/sources/itch

Thanks the documentation is much more complete than the butler doc..

Thank you so much I’ll dig into this!
