Instructions

• Open CFNScrape.sln in Visual Studio.
• Navigate to the newly created empty folder in CFNScrape\bin\Debug\net6.0.
• Create a new folder called Private, and create three files called bucklerId.txt, bucklerRId.txt, and urlToken.txt.
• Log into Buckler's Boot Camp in your browser and add the appropriate information to those .txt files (details can be found in the comments of CFNScrape.cs).
• Click Run in Visual Studio.

Output

If all goes well, the code will output...

• A file called unique_players.jsonl, which should contain a list of the highest-ranked character for every player on Buckler's Boot Camp.
• A file called recent_players.jsonl, which is the same as above, but it'll only include users who played within the past 90 days.
• A series of files in the format of rank01.jsonl, which contains the raw data pulled from Buckler's Boot Camp.

It'll also print some info about the percentiles to the console.

Notes

• The code is roughly commented, but it might be hard to use if you're unfamiliar with programming.
• There are some variables at the top of CFNScrape.cs that you can change if you want (e.g. if you want to change the date range for "recent" players).
• If the scraper fails after a few hours, you might need a new urlToken.
