Developer Tools

Every game listed on VibeCodeReviewer gets free tools to grow its rating: a rate link for your game, a callback to reward players who rate, a pull API, and a badge that shows your live stars.

Getting started

Submit your game. Already listed? Open its page and click Claim it.
Once it's yours, open the game page and click Developer tools. Your API key, callback secret and ready-to-paste snippets are there.

1. The rate link

Send players to your game's rating box. Add their in-game name so you know who to reward:

https://vibecodereviewer.net/rate/your-game?ref=PLAYER_USERNAME

Players sign in (or create a free account) and give 1–5 stars. Each player account triggers one reward per game, and changing a rating later doesn't send another. Already use a voting site's button? We accept the same ?u=, ?username=, ?incentive=, ?postback= and ?id= parameters, so you only swap the URL.

2. Rating callback

Set a callback URL and we send a form POST the moment a player rates through your link:

secret     your callback secret. Reject the request if it doesn't match
rated      1
stars      1–5
userid     the ref from the rate link
rating_id  unique id. Grant each one once
game       your game's slug
game_url   your game's page on VibeCodeReviewer.net

Reply with any 2xx status. Rewards should never depend on the star count: players must be free to rate honestly.

3. Pull API

If your game can't receive requests, check for a rating instead, then mark it claimed:

GET https://vibecodereviewer.net/api/v1/check-rating?key=API_KEY&username=PLAYER
→ {"rated": true, "stars": 4, "rated_at": "…", "rating_id": 42, "claimed": false}

POST https://vibecodereviewer.net/api/v1/claim-rating
{"key": "API_KEY", "rating_id": 42}
→ {"claimed": true, "rating_id": 42}

4. Badge

Show players where to rate you. The badge shows your live player rating:

<a href="https://vibecodereviewer.net/games/your-game"><img src="https://vibecodereviewer.net/badge/your-game.svg" alt="Featured on VibeCodeReviewer" height="52"></a>

Fair play

Reward the act of rating, never a particular score. We remove games from discovery if they pay for 5-star ratings or trade rewards for them.
