Magic Data

[Arch]

I think you should post the link in both the first post and the last one. First post for people new to this thread, last post for people like me who check it regularly.

Sure, can do that.

EDIT: Basalt Monolith is missing a line break.

Will fix for next release.

"AE" cards now have lowercase "e".

A miss from when I rewrote the program. Fixed for next release.

There is a new Archenemy promo (http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/attachme ... 1294675539)

Imprison This Insolent Wretch
Ongoing Scheme
When you set this scheme in motion, choose an opponent.
Permanents the chosen player controls don't untap during his or her untap step.
When the chosen player is attacked or becomes the target of a spell or ability, abandon this scheme.

Added.

Looks like the MBS spoilers are up on Gatherer and magiccards.info. Keep up the good work.

I'm trying to make my own program and am making my own mysql database of the cards. I used http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2771470/mtg-data-2011-01-28.zip to flush out most of the data, but I was wondering, is there a card listing that includes the flavor on cards?

Don't really keep that much track of other programs but I think that this gets flavor text as well.

Hello,

The Magic data is excellent!

Is there any way to include the flavor text in the output. I'm happy to help modify your parsing code if you make that available too.

Thanks!

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3371 does indeed fetch the flavor text and all other information for any card/language you want. Exports to XML, CSV, C++, PHP, JSON files directly.

Thanks. I kind of like it myself.

The repo address is: https://github.com/karmag/loa
The language is Clojure (lisp) so I don't actually think that that many people are familiar with it. You're free to modify it however and I'll accept any pull requests that are improvements.

At the same time I'm not currently doing anything else so I can probably have a look at including flavor-text this weekend.

Updated with flavor-text: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2771470/mtg-data-2011-02-26.zip

Just a thought: XML isn't technically considered valid unless you include the mandatory header line at the top, which is at a minimum:
<?xml version="1.0">

Although, a BOM and charset marker would he helpful to many people's XML software:
\xEF\xBB\xBF<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
(The 3 hex bytes would show up as an invisible nothing in any text editor)
