Add PTCGO code to set list

[mattcan]

A project I'm working on required translating the set code from PTCGO to set code used in the API. I thought I'd let you know about the lookup table I've created in the event you wanted to add it to the API.

Table: https://gist.github.com/mattcan/d2e5873dcb78849b63e7071218afabf0

Thanks a lot! I can definitely add the PTCGO codes to the API. Where does one find the codes for a set so that I can keep up to date when new sets are released?

[mattcan]

I really hope to find a better way than this at some point but my process to get the current list was:

1. Create a new deck in PTCGO
2. Add a card from one set (if you do multiple, it seems to get buggy between 30 and 40 unique cards)
3. Hit the export button and copy the abbreviation between the card name and card number

I took a quick look at Bulbapedia but didn't find anything and nothing jumped out from the data files for the game. If I happen across a better source I'll try to remember to update here.

After scouring the web looking for a place with these codes, I think I finally found one:

http://pkmncards.com/sets/

They look to match up to the ones you found as well!

Oh perfect, that goes all the way back!

I'm actually running into this on my project as well - I parsed by the full set name instead but i might move it over to something like this using the code instead. Here's my current list as of today - but i'm still making changes as i find issues with importing things from the game:

I'm simply running this to reverse the object keys and values for now. (i'm importing and exporting)

    let ret = {}
    for(let key in this.toCode()){
      ret[json[key]] = key
    }
    return ret

(this.toCode() being the other table) If I move to using set codes (maybe in the next couple days) i'll update here.

Another resource for finding new set codes from an official source is the decklist form found on pokemon,com at http://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/about/tournaments-rules-and-resources/ They sometimes take a little while to add new sets.

This would be useful. Another resource would be here: http://ptcgohub.com/list-of-expansion-sets

ptcgoCode has now been added to the Sets resource!

@adback03

Just sense checking some of these and this is what I have initially found:

        "ptcgoCode": "PR",
        "name": "SM Black Star Promos",

Should actually be "PR-SM SM"

        "ptcgoCode": "PR",
        "name": "XY Black Star Promos",

Should actually be "PR-XY"

        "ptcgoCode": "PR",
        "name": "BW Black Star Promos",

Should actually be "PR-BLW"

And then I stopped ;-)

This is my master list which I used before you added this feature:

@adback03

Can you confirm you've seen this?

[adback03]

@jaymarvels thanks I'll take a look!

[adback03]

These have been addressed. For future reference, where do you usually obtain the codes? I was able to find all of them other than the promo ones.

[jaymarvels]

@adback03

I used this as reference:

//ref: http://ptcgohub.com/list-of-expansion-sets

But I think I manually checked the promos within PTCGO manually.
