Python library for MtG:Oracle
- requests
- BeautifulSoup
- SQLAlchemy
In order to use mymtgoracle, you must first scrape all of the cards from http://magiccards.info
This can be accomplished by firing up python and issuing the following commands:
>>> from mtgoracle.scraper import scrape_all
>>> scrape_all()
This will pull down everything that magiccards.info knows and store it in a local SQL database. The database is configured in mtgoracle/dbengine.py and defaults to a sqlite database saved at ~/mtgoracle.sqlite
Scraping might take a little while but you should only have to do it once (or no more than once each time that pymtgoracle is updated or a new set is released).
Fire up python and initialize the session:
>>> from mtgoracle.dbengine import get_engine
>>> from mtgorale.model import *
>>> init_model(get_engine())
For now most of the functionality exists by issuing SQLAlchemy queries but a few of the classes have some utility methods to fetch cards. Once you have a card, you can examine its attributes.
>>> pd = Card.by_name(u'Phyrexian Dreadnought')
>>> print pd.rules
Trample
When Phyrexian Dreadnought enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you
sacrifice any number of creatures with total power 12 or greater.
>>> Card.with_subtype(u'Island')
[<Card: Hallowed Fountain>,
<Card: Steam Vents>,
<Card: Island>,
<Card: Moonring Island>,
<Card: Snow-Covered Island>,
<Card: Breeding Pool>,
<Card: Watery Grave>,
<Card: Tropical Island>,
<Card: Tundra>,
<Card: Underground Sea>,
<Card: Volcanic Island>]
>>> cmc0s = DBSession.query(Card).filter_by(cost=u'0').all()
>>> len(cmc0s)
49
>>> cmc0s[0]
<Card: Darksteel Relic>
>>> cmc0s[-1]
<Card: Urza's Contact Lenses>
