I am looking at “/game/top” API ( [https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/blob/master/v3\_resources/games.md#get-gamestop](https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/blob/master/v3_resources/games.md#get-gamestop) )

I could see that game name is available. How can I get the publisher’s name who published that game?  
I would love if game version info also made available.

Hey, @Ashish_Mahamuni!

The publisher information isn’t provided in the Twitch API. You could use the Giantbomb ID that we provide and call the [Giantbomb API](http://www.giantbomb.com/api/documentation#toc-0-14) to get that info.

Hi, @DallasNChains ,

Any brief explanation on how to use Giantbomb ID in Giantbomb API? I tried that, but kept returning error 404.

Twitch doesn’t run the giant bomb api, you’ll need to consult the giant bomb api docs and ask for support over there.

Example:

```auto
http://www.giantbomb.com/api/game/3030-24024/?api_key=REDACTED&format=json&field_list=name,id,publishers

```

24024 in this example is the `giantbomb_id` for League of Legends returned by Kraken.
