NAME

Acme::MobileTradeFun - Needlessly OO module to scrape card images off the MobileTradeFun site

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

I recently found a site called MobileTradeFun (or MobaTreFun for short), where people can search the value of cards from mobile games, such as idolmaster.

http://mobile-trade.jp

This site seems to contain the "official" card images as they show up on the mobile devices in Japan. This module basically lets you specify a game, and scrapes all the high quality cards off the site.

Note that card names are stored in Japanese, as each card contains certain attributes such as category, card name and rarity. Without these attributes, cards cannot be identified uniquely.

The interface of the module is pretty simple. You construct a hashref of args, and pass it onto the class method run() which will take the rest.

    use Acme::MobileTradeFun;

    my $args = {
        game        => 'idolmaster',
        parallel    => 10,
    };

    my $foo = Acme::MobileTradeFun->run( $args );

Here are the overwritable defaults in the hashref. Currently 4 games are supported: bahamut, idolmaster, saintseiya and gangroad.

    game        => '',
    base_url    => 'http://mobile-trade.jp/fun',
    php_script  => 'card.php',
    row         => 300,     # how many cards per page
    page        => 1,       # which page to start from
    output_dir  => '/tmp',  # where to save the images
    card_offset => 10000,   # just an index value.  better left untouched
    parallel    => 1,       # how many cards to fetch at once
    debug       => 0,
