## Data Structure

- `title`: The winner's name (game, person, or team)
- `caption`: Publisher, developer, or additional context

### Highlight Object
Each highlight contains:
- `imageUrl`: URL to the highlight image
- `categoryName`: Type of highlight (e.g., "Show Highlight", "Trending Moment")
- `title`: The highlight title
- `caption`: Description of the moment
- `isFeaturedHighlight`: Boolean indicating if it's a featured highlight
- `highlightURL`: YouTube URL to the specific moment

## Examples

### Get all 2019 winners
```python
result = await execute({
    "function": "get_winners",
    "year": 2019
})
```

### Get complete rewind for 2014
```python
result = await execute({
    "function": "get_rewind",
    "year": 2014
})
```

## Technical Details

This skill uses Next.js RSC (React Server Components) endpoints to extract structured JSON data directly from The Game Awards website. The data is embedded in the page response and extracted without requiring browser automation.

## Error Handling

The skill returns structured error responses:
```json
{
  "success": false,
  "error": "Error message here"
}
```

Common errors:
- Missing `year` parameter for functions that require it
- Invalid year (year not available)
- Network errors
- Parsing failures
