So in regards to the new "updater" I've been working on, I've ran into a small issue.

Namely, compiling a world takes around 2-3 minutes, which isn't and awful lot, but due to how the 100 Demons are distributed, it could mean I'd have to update lists for a lot of worlds just to get a few cards out of it.

So, the alternative is to directly access the wikia rather then to store data for building decks. I was originally against this because the API sees no difference between a blog page and a card page, but I'll just have to prevent people from "adding" that to their deck as they try to do so.

In example, here:

http://buddyfight.wikia.com/api/v1#!/Articles/getListExpanded_get_3

Scroll a bit down and enter "Danger World" in the category input and click "Try it" below, you'll see it fetched an attribute page associated with that category in addition to the cards.

This method also retricts the card results shown, so you'd have to flip pages until you reach what you want.

The API does have a "search-by-name" method, but the name be exactly the same as shown on the wiki page (with spaces replaced by underscores, but that can easily be inserted in my code)

http://buddyfight.wikia.com/api/v1#!/Articles/getDetails_get_1

There is also the "general" search method, but it lists EVERYTHING lol (it's basically the Search function you use on the wikia)

Sigh... guess compiling a World list is still the best method.
