==Sitescripts==
 
−
The sitescripts are the actual price import scripts, written in lua. They use the [[Magic Album Lua API]] and [[#the LHpi library]] to query and parse a website and import the price information into Magic Album. Most of the program logic is contained in the library, so the sitescript needs to hold only site-specific information and a few functions that are not easily generalizable.

Sitescripts will need to provide

* a table of supported languages with url infix field

* a function to build urls
 
−
* a function to parse the html raw data into data fields via regular expressions (and the regex itself)

* optionally, it can also provide
 
−
** functions for site specific data manipulation, in case the site has some strange formatting the library does not understand
 
−
** a one-to-one name map for names that differ between the site and Magic Album's database
 
−
** tables to map card names to picture versions, in case the one-to-one map and LHpi's defaults are not sufficient
 
−
** a table with expected card count numbers for LHpi's sanity checks.
