scryfall_rb is an open source Ruby client library for Scryfall's API

• Card lookup with Scryfall's fulltext query.
• Full catalog support for cards, artists, and types
• Set details by name (set code) or id
• Extensible error handling with Scryfall specific details

• Card image querying with options for downloading to local filesystem.
• .next() for lists with a none-null has-next value.
• Improved support for fulltext queries, including argument parsing. Currently, oracle text must be split by whitespace (ie. "oracle:draw oracle:a oracle:card" => "oracle%3Adraw%20oracle%3Aa%20oracle%3Acard". That process can be further simplified.

• OAuth for 3rd party applications. Currently this feature is in a closed beta and registration is closed to the general public. This feature will be tackles once OAuth support goes GA

All class/method names follow Scryfall's own naming convention, so their API documenation is the base place to look if you have any questions.

All card fields returned by Scryfall are packed into the Scryfall::Card object (including all image URI's for download).

card = Scryfall::Card.random

card.class
=> Scryfall::Card

card.inspect
=> "#<Scryfall::Card:0x00005624429b77f8 @attributes=#<OpenStruct object=\"card\", id=\"442b8c31-f346-4984-9159-2dce6a7485ac\", oracle_id=\"d0f06250-25a5-4003-8f3a-6d85ef32ea10\", name=\"Keening Stone\", lang=\"en\", released_at=\"2016-11-11\", mana_cost=\"{6}\", cmc=6.0, type_line=\"Artifact\", oracle_text=\"{5}, {T}: Target player puts the top X cards of their library...

Full text queries are done in plain text -- no need to properly encoding the query strings. For large query results, pagination is supported. Users are left to request 'next_page' values as needed.

cards = Scryfall::Card.search("type:sorcery color:U")

cards.class
=> Scryfall::List

cards.total_cards
=> 422

cards.next_page
=> "https://api.scryfall.com/cards/search?format=json&include_extras=false&include_multilingual=false&order=name&page=2&q=type%3Asorcery+color%3Au&unique=cards"
