Hey team, as you may know UrzaGatherer is a one man army project. One of the main painful task so far was to keep up with the pace of newly added cards, mostly regarding the links to TCG or Cardmarket.
With version 6.4, I added a new system that lets me specify these ids per card
The problem now is to make sure I can get the correct IDs. I managed to get a big bunch of them from Scryfall but not for all the cards
So far I still have 2656 cards with no TCG ID and 7175 with no Cardmarket ID (out of 55838 cards in total as of now)
So this is where we can as a community makes it better!
If you are interested to help, here is the procedure:
Export the set of cards you want to check: This is pretty simple, do a search in UrzaGatherer (must be 6.4.13+) and export it to CSV (using the ... button):
You will find in the csv file that there are 2 new columns:
The deal is simple: fill these columns and I will merge them in the database for the next release
So now this begs for a new question: HOW?
For Cardmarket, the simplest way is to go to the card you want in Cardmarket.com, open F12 tool and "pick" the card to get the html element associated with it:
Here for instance, the cardmarket ID for "Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth" is 566626.
For TCGPlayer it is far easier. Just go to the page of the card you want and look in the URL:
So for "Dragon's Rage Channeler" the TCGID is 240055.
Once you have the numbers you want, simply add them to the csv and when you are done send the file to david@catuhe.com for the magic to happen
THANKS A LOT FOR EVERYONE WILLING TO HELP
P.S: In order to avoid conflict, please simply reply to this post if you are currently working on specific set.
Hi, prices of those two cards don't look correct, especially Gandalf the Grey.
Lord of the Rings are Modern legal. Can you fix it?
Will work on Secret Lair
just for the future - when all the missing ids are there. The whole promo cards have to get a new id (at least cardmarket). Most of the promo cards have wrong ids. (often the promos are swapped - planeswalker symbol and pre release promos - as far as i recall)
Is there specific sets you need worked on. I would love to help.
The app update is controlled by android itself. Maybe killing the app could help sometimes
I'd just pulled the full DB to do so if you've recently updated I'll do that again and go from there.
FYI the Android version wouldn't update no matter what I did until I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Might need to look into forcing an update with a new release on the app store every so often?
Keep up the great work.
Exactly But the new version is up by the way. which version are you on?
Happy to help with this, once the next version is up so I'm not duplicating effort. I assume this is why the cardmarket links aren't working on MH2 for example?
MH2 cardmarket done :) (well except for the art series - cardmarket does not have images for the not signed ones)
I will do the MH2 set (extras and collectors and standard set) for cardmarket this week.
I started with Shadowmoore set :)
Now i got it :) starting from A with the cards missing an id right now :)
Is it possible that 6.4.13 is not out yet? At least my Chrome Browser does not get it... even after reloading
