Description¶ ↑

The Python Magiccardsinfo library is a set of classes for scarping MTG cards from magiccards.info.

Getting set names¶ ↑

>>> from magiccardsinfo.Set import Set
>>> s = Set()

>>> len(s.getSets())
146

>>> s.getSets().keys()

Working with sets¶ ↑

>>> from magiccardsinfo.Card import Card
>>> c = Card(set='m13')

>>> m13 = Card(set='m13')
>>> len(m13.getCards())
249

>>> m13.searchCards('Forest')
[{'toughness': None, 'power': None, 'artist': u'Volkan Baga', 'rarity': u'Land',
'cost': None, 'type': u'Basic Land - Forest', 'id': 246, 'name': u'Forest'},
{'toughness': None, 'power': None, 'artist': u'Steven Belledin', 'rarity':
u'Land', 'cost': None, 'type': u'Basic Land - Forest', 'id': 247, 'name':
u'Forest'}, {'toughness': None, 'power': None, 'artist': u'Noah Bradley',
'rarity': u'Land', 'cost': None, 'type': u'Basic Land - Forest', 'id': 248,
'name': u'Forest'}, {'toughness': None, 'power': None, 'artist': u'Jim Nelson',
'rarity': u'Land', 'cost': None, 'type': u'Basic Land - Forest', 'id': 249,
'name': u'Forest'}]

>>> m13.getCard('Staff of Nin')
{'toughness': None, 'power': None, 'artist': u'Dan Scott', 'rarity': u'Rare',
'cost': u'6', 'type': u'Artifact', 'id': 217, 'name': u'Staff of Nin'}

>>> m13.getCard('Arbor Elf')
{'toughness': u'1', 'power': u'1', 'artist': u'rk post', 'rarity': u'Common',
'cost': u'G', 'type': u'Creature - Elf Druid', 'id': 160, 'name': u'Arbor Elf'}

Getting card external identifiers¶ ↑

>>> from magiccardsinfo.Identifiers import Identifiers
>>> i = Identifiers(set='m13', id='1')

>>> i.getGathererId()
'249695'

>>> i.getTCGPlayerId()
'59813'

Getting prices for a card from TCGplayer¶ ↑

>>> from magiccardsinfo.Price import Price
>>> p = Price(id=59813)

>>> p.getPrices()
{'high': u'$39.99', 'card_name': u'Ajani, Caller of the Pride', 'avg': u'$28.20', 'low': u'$23.99'}
