This is a WIP, at the moment it scrapes character names and ratings into a JSON object, the data is scraped from here: https://gbf.wiki/Character_Tier_List/Gamewith/Ratings -- A big thanks to the wiki contributers for keeping great up to date data. Currently you can access this in API form here: https://granblue-rating-api.herokuapp.com/characters - If you need to regenerate or update the JSON, clone this and uncomment the scraper portion to regnerate the file.
RapidAPI Link: https://rapidapi.com/daelso/api/granblue-fantasy-tier-list
https://granblue-rating-api.herokuapp.com/scrape - This populates and updates our JSON file on command or once a day if left alone.
https://granblue-rating-api.herokuapp.com/characters - Get all characters and ratings
https://granblue-rating-api.herokuapp.com/characters/Zeta - Will return all entries for a specific character, first letter capitalization does not matter, will automatically be converted i.e zeta => Zeta
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Abby",
"rating": "9.2"
},
{
"id": 3,
"name": "Abby (Promo)",
"rating": "7.0"
},
{
"id": 4,
"name": "Agielba",
"rating": "8.5"
},
Full data can be found the JSON file.
This requires express.js, node.js, cheerio, nodemon and axios. Open the terminal and begin with npm init followed by npm i to hopefully automatically install all required dependencies.
Run the program by opening your terminal in the main folder and typing npm start which requires nodemon (you should probably globally install it). You may want to run nodemon --ignore 'db.json' to stop nodemon restarting constantly due to the writefile.
To create a JSON object of granblue characters and their associated rating. Will eventually be turned into an API for discord bot to query.
