Python Forum

Hi, I've been trying to learn python, my goal is to make a bot that can gather data from in-game marketplace and feed that data to a database, and then have user interface where I can follow how different item prices have changed over time etc.

I have looked in to few libaries, mainly:

pyautogui
PIL
pytesseract
cv2

My problem is that even with cv2 I'm having trouble getting the bot read the custom font and convert it to numbers.

Are there any alternative/better ways to go at it? Any tips are welcome!

I would suggest spending a few short hours doing the following tutorials.
web scraping part 1
web scraping part 2

Do the terms and conditions for whatever game this is allow you to do such things?

Honestly not sure, but I don't see reason why not, I'm not going to gain anything from this. Just a fun project to learn python with.

You should learn data scraping in python. You can find a multitude of online courses for data scraping and python.

As stated in post 2 https://python-forum.io/Thread-Where-to-...#pid127190
