IGDB is a recent game metadata and media platform with a free and open API. While it's focused on recent games/frontends, it also has a strong library of old games, and is suitable for RetroHub.

The only caveat is relying on a Twitch API token, which has a time limit of around 2 months. The proposed solution of mananing this secret through an AWS instance is likely to incur on costs.
