# If you're interested in fetching real-time information, we have an API:

#
# If you're interested in bulk data, we have various database dumps:
#   https://vndb.org/d14
#   https://dl.vndb.org/dump/
# 
# If you're interested in custom querying, we have an interface for that:
#   https://query.vndb.org/
#
# If the above don't cover your needs, please send a mail to contact@vndb.org
# and maybe we can work something out.
