You can get games ordered by number of viewers, or search for them by title. More information is in our [API documentation](https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/blob/master/v2_resources/games.md).

Yes I’ve already seen that. However, there is no way to get all the supported games sorted by name with json?

I’ve heard that most of Twitch’s Games list is built off the [Giantbomb API](http://www.giantbomb.com/api/) so whilst that might not be the full and complete list. It does at least give you a decent enough games resource/list to use for stuff.

I did it in another way. I have a php script, that reads every hour the /games/top/ list and adds all the games, that aren’t in my db, in my db 😃
