Change price engine #183

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi,

As a feature, I would like to help adding additional price engines. I'm from 
Brazil, and searching cards in dollars are usually not helpful, as we have some 
supply problems, making some cards spike. Is it possible? I'm learning Android, 
might help with this issue.

Regards

Pedro

TCGPlayer.com has an API for fetching card prices, which is easy to work with. 
I do not want to start scraping prices off random web pages. If you can find 
other programmatic sources of card prices, I would be willing to incorporate 
them into the app.

Hello,

I'd like to have https://www.magiccardmarket.eu as part of price engines. It's 
currently the most used site in Europe for buying and selling card. European 
players use this site for almost every Magic card transactions and therefore 
the prices are usually used as reference for trading. We really need a good 
application for trading and MTGFamiliar would be the best to fulfill this 
requirement.

The site has now a API : https://www.mkmapi.eu/ws/documentation , however it 
seems that login to the site by an api key is required even for getting the 
prices of a card (which is not the case when browsing). The new version of the 
API will use a totally different authentication mechanism, but there isn't 
documentation about getting prices with the new version. 

If you are interested in adding this price engine, it could be helpful to 
contact them about this issue. Also I could write the patch.

Firstly, I recently moved the project over to github: 
https://github.com/AEFeinstein/mtg-familiar/

Secondly, there is already an issue ticket there for adding magiccardmarket 
price lookups: https://github.com/AEFeinstein/mtg-familiar/issues/15

I am definitely interested in adding this price engine. You are more than 
welcome to fork the project on GitHub, write in support, and submit a pull 
request to get it into the production build.
