So I was playing some Guild Wars 2 these days, just collecting stuff I needed to get the skyscale mount, when I noticed that it's kinda difficult for me to keep track of which items I already have enough of and which ones I still have to farm further.
Thats why I created this little helper script. It's able to read a pre-configured looting-target config (like the sample skyscale_mount.json) and can then provide an overview of the current materials/inventory stats for that specific looting-target by utilizing the GW2 API to do that.
Go to https://account.arena.net/applications and generate a new API Key with at least the scopes:
wallet, account, inventories, characters
Create a .env file from the given sample .env.dist and add the created API Key:
GW2_API_KEY=[YOUR_API_KEY_HERE]
CONFIG_FILE=skyscale_mount.json
GROUPED=true
REFRESH=300
LANG=en
Here you can also change any other configuration as you like. More to that at Configuration below.
$ python -m venv ./venv
$ .\venv\Scripts\activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python main.py
| ENV-Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| GW2_API_KEY | The secret GW2 API key to use. |
| CONFIG_FILE | The pre-configured looting-target config filepath. |
| GROUPED | true or false ➜ Toggle if currency and material items should be grouped in seperated tables or displayed in a single table. |
| REFRESH | Auto-Refresh countdown in seconds. Set to 0 to disable it. |
| LANG | Language code for the GW2 API. Valid languages are en, es, de, fr and zh. |
