The Moxfield Price Scraper is an application designed to continuously monitor the price of specified Moxfield decks until a defined threshold is reached. It automatically adjusts the prices of all cards within the deck list to reflect the lowest market values, ensuring users can acquire their desired decks at the best possible prices. Once the threshold is met, the application captures a screenshot of the deck and saves it. If email notifications are enabled, a notification email will also be sent to the user with the attached screenshot. This tool is particularly useful for playgroups that host events requiring decks to remain within a specific price range. My playgroup utilizes it for a custom format known as Shitlander, a €25 budget Commander (EDH) format, where all participants must provide a screenshot of their deck within this price limit.
To run the application, ensure you have the following installed:
- .Net 8.0
- Selenium (installed via NuGet package)
- Google Chrome
- ChromeDriver (ensure the version matches your Chrome installation)
Note: The ChromeDriver executable must be manually placed in the root directory of the project.
Before running the application in development mode, user-specific settings must be configured. This can be done by creating and editing a .env file in the root directory. The file should contain the following options:
TARGET_PRICE=25
UPDATE_FREQUENCY=300
MOXFIELD_USERNAME='moxfieldUsername'
MOXFIELD_PASSWORD='moxfieldPassword'
SEND_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION=true
SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS='senderemail@example.com'
SENDER_EMAIL_PASSWORD='senderemailpassword'
RECEIVER_EMAIL_ADDRESS='receiveremail@example.com'
DECK_LIST='{"Deck1":"https://moxfield.com/deck1", "Deck2":"https://moxfield.com/deck2"}'- TargetPrice: The price threshold that the deck must reach before the scraping stops.
- UpdateFrequency: The frequency at which the price is checked (in seconds).
- MoxfieldUsername: Your Moxfield account username.
- MoxfieldPassword: Your Moxfield account password.
- SendEmailNotification: Whether to send an e-mail notification when the threshold is reached.
- SenderEmailAddress: Email address used to send notifications.
- SenderEmailPassword: Password for the sender email account.
- ReceiverEmailAddress: Email address to receive notifications.
- DeckList: A dictionary of deck names and their corresponding Moxfield URLs. There should be at least one deck in the list, however, multiple decks can be added.
The application can be executed using the following command:
dotnet runAlternatively, you can publish the application and run the resulting executable.
