I whipped up and deployed a quick and dirty version on GCP Cloud Functions Need to get it to recreate the Venser's Journal reply format so we can just change the API URL and it should Just Work

I managed to hunt down a version of the script generating the rules API from last year. It's for a newer version, so it's slightly differently structured, but it should be convertible to what we use without too much trouble (or we could adapt to the new structure). Also, the TXT rules files from wotc have some weird encoding, where lines are separated by just CR, except between sections, where it's CRLF. And it has a byte-order mar, because of course it does. Anyway, after some testing, running sed '1s/^\xEF\xBB\xBF//; s/\r$//; s/\r/\n/g' on the file transforms it into a normal linux-friendly output.
