Magic Album - Feature Requests
Enable os.clock function (implemented)
I am writing scryfall.com pricing script for MA (https://github.com/refaim/MagicAlbumScryfallPriceScript).
According to Scryfall API documentation (https://scryfall.com/docs/api/) an API client can safely perform no more than 10 requests per second, so I need to add delay between calls to ma.GetUrl function.
Unfortunately, I could not find any reliable way to implement sleep function in MA Lua interpreter.
So it would be great if the standard Lua os.clock function was added to pricing scripts environment.

I do not want to enable os library because of potentially unsafe functions.
Please, test the attached exe. I've added a ma.GetTime() function, which returns current time as a number of seconds since the epoch. Should be enough for your needs.

Hmm... May be It's better to just implement a sleep() function instead? What do you think?

Working perfectly.

I think that timer function is more universal. It's possible to measure time through such function, for example.
