Mtgjson2Familiar

It's one stop shop for generating data for MTG Familiar!

• Card expansion patches from https://mtgjson.com/
• Comprehensive rules from https://magic.wizards.com/en/game-info/gameplay/rules-and-formats/rules
• Judge documents from https://blogs.magicjudges.org/o/rules-policy-documents/

This is an IntelliJ IDEA project, which can also be opened in Android Studio. To build a JAR, follow these instructions: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/compiling-applications.html#build_artifact

Setup

1. Install the Github CLI from https://github.com/cli/cli#installation
2. Install at least Java 12, or equivalent JRE
3. Clone this repository from https://github.com/AEFeinstein/Mtgjson2Familiar.git
4. Create or obtain a gh-token.txt file containing a github personal access token and put it in this project's root directory. It should look like this:

   XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
   

5. Create or obtain a tcgp_keys.json file with TCGPlayer.com API keys from http://developer.tcgplayer.com/ and put it in this project's root directory. It should look like this:

   {
     "ACCESS_TOKEN": "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX",
     "PRIVATE_KEY": "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX",
     "PUBLIC_KEY": "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"
   }
   

6. Use cron to run update_data.sh -p -r -k tcgp_keys.json daily, except Tuesdays at 2am EST. This checks for new cards and comprehensive rules, which is fast because version can be checked before parsing.
7. Use cron to run update_data.sh -p -r -k tcgp_keys.json -j weekly, on Tuesdays at 2am EST. This also checks for new judge documents, which is slow because the judge documents aren't versioned and must be parsed each time.
