Basic wrapper for the EchoMTG REST API to manage Magic: the Gathering card collections, prices, and values. See more information on API developments at https://www.echomtg.com/api.

This PHP library is currently in development/beta testing and provided as-is.

Make sure you have an EchoMTG account (you can register for free). The API does not currently support OAuth so all authentication is done via encrypted posts.

Copy the config.ini file and rename it config.local.ini, then set the account email and password there. Make sure the api.php library file is in the same folder as the .ini file in your project and instantiate a new object:

require 'api.php';

$echomtg = new EchoPHP();
$echomtg->initSession();

Note: initSession() will check to see if your auth token has been saved to your current session; if it isn't, it posts to /user/auth to sign you in.

This wrapper class is in development, check below for the currently supported API calls.

To add a card individually, use the addCard() method:

$echomtg->addCard( 4797, 1, 1.50, '08-20-2015', 0 );

The only required parameter is the first one, the card's Mutiverse ID, i.e., it's ID in Gatherer. There are two ways to get this:

1. The preferred method is EchoMTG's card reference call, accessible here via the cardReference() method. This reference is important because Promo cards do not have a Multiverse ID but they are assigned them by EchoMTG in this reference, allowing you to add promo cards programmatically. This method takes a string for the card name and, optionally, set code to search and returns the ID:

    $echomtg->cardReference( 'Verdant Force', 'tmp' );
   

2. Alternatively you can get Multiverse ID's by hand by searching for the card/printing at Gatherer or using the MTGJson API (or similar services).

The other parameters are quantity, your purchase price, the date of your purchase in mm-dd-yyyy format, and whether the card is foil (1) or not (0).

To remove a card by the inventory ID, use removeCard(). It only takes the EchoMTG inventory ID ("EID") of the card in your inventory.

To adjust the acquisition price of a card in inventory, call adjustAcquiredPrice(), passing in the card's EID in your inventory and the price you want to set.

Set a card in inventory as a foil (1) or not foil (0) by calling toggleFoil(), passing in the card's EID and the foil boolean.

To adjust the acquisition date of a card in inventory, call adjustAcquiredDate(), passing in the card's EID and the date you want to set in MM-DD-YYYY format (m-d-Y in PHP date() lingo).

Use the getInventory() method to return the user's inventory. By default the method will return the most recently acquired 10 cards.

You can pass in parameters for start and end values to limit the results, the attribute to sort on (price, cmc, foil_price, date_aquired, set), sort order (desc, asc), a card name to search, color (Colorless, Multicolor, White, Blue, Black, Red, Green, Land), card type (Planeswalker, Sorcery, Instant, Creature, Artifact, Enchantment, Legendary, Land), and set code.

E.g., the following returns the most recent 10 cards that are green legends, sorted by price descending:

$echomtg->getInventory( 0, 9, 'price', 'desc', null, 'Green', 'Legendary' );

Call the getStats() method to return the user's inventory stats. This takes no parameters and sends an authenticated GET.

With the list ID you can get a specific list and its attributes/cards by calling the getList() method and passing the list ID in. There is an optional second parameter that will return the list and cards formatted in HTML when you pass true in.

To get the full list of lists for a user call the getAllLists() method. This only takes one parameter for sort order, which can be created, alpha_desc, alpha_asc, or last_edited. The default is last_edited.

Call the createList() method to create a new list. This requires a name for the list as the first parameter, with an optional description as the second parameter.

This method returns the list ID of the newly created list, if it was successful.

You can edit a list if you have the list ID by calling the editList() method. It requires the list ID as the first parameter, then the name and description as the next two if you want to edit them.

To toggle a list's status as activated or deactivated, call the toggleListStatus() method with the list ID as the first parameter. Pass in a 1 to flag it as active or a 0 to flag it as deactivated.

To enable debugging mode, set the class property $debug_mode to true in api.php. This adds all auth, session, and requests/responses to the $debug property. Output that to view the current debugging log:

print_r( $echomtg->debug );
