As mentioned in Connecting pinball resources, if any admin of some other pinball related resource wants to automate their linking to pinballvideos.com, feel free to use IPDB IDs in your links, like http://pinballvideos.com/?m=5709. I’m not using the “official” IPDB names for some machines, so this might be easier than a name search.
It should not matter which exact IPDB entry for the same machine you are using in the link.
Also, to figure out which machines are actually present on pinballvideos.com, so you can completely automate your linking, please feel free to periodically check the list at http://pinballvideos.com/api/machines.
This might be a good time to reiterate that I’m not making any money off pinballvideos.com – if you want to link to it from some other application, you’d make me happy, and it might benefit the community, but I’m not laughing my way to the bank.
