Create a pdf file of your game lists on Board Game Geek
Description
This is a python script that will generate a HTML (PDF as an extra step) catalog for your board game collection. Currently the output can be in the form of pages or card images of the games in your collection.
Dependencies
- bgg account
- python3 and requests library ** use pip install requests
Installing
- git clone this directory :-)
Executing program
- How to run the program
python generate_pdf.py --username USER
Wait for the script to run. It will take a bit to download all of the information needed from BGG.
Open the output.html page that was generated in Firefox. Other browsers may not format the page correctly. Your mileage may vary.
Print with no margins on US Letter paper. Make sure you enable "Print Backgrounds."
