New Release Date Filter in Operator game/list API

Operator Games API – Filter Games by Release Date

Effective from: April 1, 2026

---

We've added a new optional filter to the POST /operator/generic/v2/game/list endpoint, allowing Operators to retrieve only games released from a specific date onwards.

What's new?

Filter by Release Date You can now include the optional request field release_date to retrieve only games with an effective release date on or after the specified value. If no filter is applied, the endpoint will return the full game list as before.

{
  "operator_id": 123,
  "release_date": "2026-03-15"
}

Request field details

Field	Type	Required	Description
release_date	string	Optional	Returns only games with an effective release date on or after the specified value (YYYY-MM-DD); if omitted, the full game list is returned.

Validation

Scenario	Response
release_date not sent	Full game list returned (existing behaviour)
Valid release_date	Games with release date >= the value
No matching games	200 with an empty list
Invalid type (not string)	400 — "The type used for release_date is incorrect"
Invalid format	400 — "release_date format is invalid. Expected YYYY-MM-DD."

Why use this?

• Stay on top of new game launches to quickly identify which games have been added to your catalogue since a specific date, without parsing the full game list.

• Automate your game lobby updates, use release_date to power scheduled syncs that pick up only new additions, keeping your lobby fresh with minimal effort.

• Simplify compliance and market reviews if there is a need to check which games went live after a regulatory change or in a specific launch window? Filter by date instead of comparing full snapshots.

• No migration needed, as existing integrations continue to work exactly as before. Start using release_date when you're ready.
