scryr is a simple, light, and robust interface between R and Scryfall’s powerful Magic: The Gathering card search engine. It wraps the Scryfall API and makes all endpoints available as simple functions that any R programmer can use.
# Install released version from CRAN
install.packages("scryr")You can install the development version of scryr from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("curso-r/scryr")scryr makes it easy to process Magic cards’ data
programmatically. There are many endpoints that fully support tidyverse
compatible analyses. For more information, start with
vignette("scryr") or the full documentation.
