Game Scanner

A way to scan the barcode of a boardgame and obtain the bgg id from it.

How?

Install the requirements and run main.py.

Where?

It's currently deployed somewhere on gcp. Deploy with make deploy. The data is being saved on Firestore. This is done so that when the barcode leads nowhere or to the wrong game it can be edited.

What creds

Requires the following credentials in an .env yaml file:

GOOGLE_KEY
GOOGLE_CX
BGG_USERNAME
BGG_PASS

Google stuff is obtained from the Programmable Search Engine page.

Additionally, a connector to the DB is required. This is obtained by the command

gcloud iam service-accounts keys create nraw-key.json \
    --iam-account=<account>@appspot.gserviceaccount.com
