scryr provides R functions to access Scryfall’s APIs for
catalogs,
sets, and card
search.
Install scryr from Github with devtools
# install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("khailper/scryr")library(tidyverse)
library(scryr)Scryfall catalogs contain each unique value of the catalogs content, returned as a vector of strings. So, if you wanted every enchantment subtype:
scry_catalog("enchantment-types")## [1] "Aura" "Cartouche" "Curse" "Saga" "Shrine"
The list of available catalogs can be found with ?scry_catalog.
scry_sets can either return a tibble containing the information for
all sets (the default), or scry_sets("set's three letter") to get just
the information for that set.
scry_sets("war")## # A tibble: 1 x 11
## object code mtgo_code name released_at set_type card_count digital
## <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr> <int> <lgl>
## 1 set war war War ~ 2019-05-03 expansi~ 311 FALSE
## # ... with 3 more variables: foil_only <lgl>, block_code <chr>,
## # block <chr>
scry_cards() returns a tibble containing cards matching the seach in
the queryarguement. So, if we instead of wanting the information about
War of the Spark, we wanted all cards in that set:
war_cards <- scry_cards("s:war")
war_cards## # A tibble: 265 x 56
## object name lang released_at layout highres_image mana_cost cmc
## <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr> <lgl> <chr> <dbl>
## 1 card Ahn-~ en 2019-05-03 normal TRUE {2}{R} 3
## 2 card Aid ~ en 2019-05-03 normal TRUE {1}{B} 2

scry_cards also supports more complex searches (the query syntax is
available at https://scryfall.com/docs/syntax):
# all mono-colored creatures in War of the Spark"
scry_cards("set:war t:'creature' c:1") %>%
# need to unlist colors so it can be a grouping variable for count
mutate(colors = unlist(colors),
colors = fct_relevel(colors, "W", "U", "B", "R", "G")) %>%
# getting each color's mana curve
count(cmc,colors) %>%
ggplot(aes(cmc, n, fill = colors)) +
geom_col() +
facet_wrap(~colors) +
guides(fill = FALSE) +
labs(title = "Mana curve by color in War of the Spark",
subtitle = "mono-colored creatures only",
x = "Converted mana cost",
y = "Number of cards") +
theme(strip.background = element_blank(), strip.text.x = element_blank()) +
scale_fill_manual(values = c("W" = "#ffe7b9",
"U" = "#0e68ab",
"B" = "#150b00",
"R" = "#d3202a",
"G" = "#00733e"))
Note: both scry_sets and scry_cards by default drop columns related
containing IDs and URIs. This can be overridden with include_ids = TRUE and include_uris = TRUE, respectively.
