Collectible Card Game Headquarters

HI everybody,

i would like to ask somebody to make a price import script for magiccardmarket.eu. It is one of the biggest plattforms for Card Trading and it is used all over europe.

It would be great if anybody can make a script and i am sure that mnay people would use this.

Thanks in advance!

I have been trying to do that for a long time with my LHpi library.
The first try (around LHpi-v2.8 ) by html-scraping turned out not to work, as lots of crucial information was not included when requesting a whole set. Despite wanting to do MKM prices, I turned to lower hanging fruit.
I returned to try importing from MKM October last year, and went the mkm-api route. That aproach was promising, but despite reaching a semi-working alpha I hit some stopgaps and eventually temporally lost my motivation. see tracker.php?p=2&t=488 for details. To save you from trying: that version will not work today.
A month ago I resumed my work, opting to defer downloading data from the api to a seperate script, that has to be run outside of MA as the currently best compromise. Turns out, due to server strain they removed pricing information from the whole-set-request, so instead of ~200 request the downloader has to do ~30.000 single-card-requests. This resulted in "429 Too Many Requests" http errors. I'm currently awaiting a reply from mkm tech support to decide if it's worth pursuing this route.
It would probably work well enough to, say, update only standard sets once a week, but before I feel ok with releasing it, there's still a lot of documentation, testing and error-poofing to be done.

Thanks for your Answer.
I hope you will get it working in the near future.

And let me thank you for your really great other price import scripts.

As far as LHpi is concerned, to keep all relevant information in one place, please direct further comments to LHpi's thread.

Of course, this should in no way deter anyone from tackling the problem from another angle (and therefore discuss it here)

I have released LHpi.magickartenmarkt.
See the LHpi's wiki page for documentation and give feedback in LHpi's thread.
