How To Use

Prerequisites

• Python for running and installing the tool

Run the following commands in command prompt or another terminal to install the tool - If you are not using windows you will need to use python or python3 instead of py

Installation

To install / update the tool run the following command:

py -m pip install -U bcedd

If you get an error saying No module named pip then run

py -m ensurepip --upgrade

Run

By default the tool will download sale.tsv, gatya.tsv and item.tsv for en and it will ask you where you want to save it:

py -m bcedd

If you want to download files for different versions use -c <version1> <version2> etc. Supported versions are en, jp, kr, tw.

py -m bcedd -c jp kr

This will download jp and kr data instead

If you only want to download specific files then use -f <file1> <file2> etc. Supported files are sale.tsv, gatya.tsv, item.tsv.

py -m bcedd -f gatya.tsv item.tsv

This will download files gatya.tsv and item.tsv but not sale.tsv

If you don't want a file save dialog then use -o <output_folder> to save the files to a specific folder.

py -m bcedd -o "Event Data"

This will save all 3 en files to a folder called "Event Data" in the current working directory (use the cd command to change that)

If you want to use the old method of downloading data then use --old

py -m bcedd --old

Install From Source

If you want the latest features and don't want to wait for a release then you can install the tool from the github directly.
