List of mtg cards

[nantuko84]

Hi,

Does anybody know is it possible to get list of all mtg cards in the following format:
| card name | set | rarity | multiverseid | collectorid |

or any idea how to generate such one?

I know that there is mtg-data.txt that almost meets the requirement, but there is no multiverseid and collectorid there.

thank you in advance

I was hoping you could get it from

Code: Select all

http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?output=checklist&action=advanced&special=true&rarity=|[R]|[U]|[C]|[L]|[S]|[P]|[M]


,however the multiverseid is always for the newest edition. This means you have to go and spider either each card page to get the correct multiverseids for the given set.

Or you can get it set by set using the same checklist.

you're right, but it's almost what I need.
so probably going to every card page using provided link and parsing Other Sets section is the only way to get these multiverseids.
at least it seems possible and not so extra difficult.

thanks for the idea!

You also can go set by set (that's how I do it). Then you get the correct multiverse ids, however you need to get the gatherer set names before.


Here's what you can get out of the all sets listing

Our team finished with the perl script that gets all data needed for the card name.

Just wanted to thank you for the link you provided and the idea =)
