## Metacritic CLI
METACRITIC HAD SOME UPDATES LATELY, AND THIS CODE DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE. I WILL FIX IT IN THE NEAREST FUTURE.
A very simple HTML scraper for [https://www.metacritic.com/](metacritic) made in Rust. Unfortunately metacritic has no API, so this is the only way to make a CLI app to search scores of games, movies etc.
You can provide title as an argument and get score and basic info about platform and release date or you can provide "coming-soon" to get upcoming releases. The options should work the same way in both use cases.
I'm a gamer so the default type is game, but there is a "-t" option to change that.
# Quick start
You can install it from crates.io:
```bash
cargo install metacritic-cli
```
For testing purposes:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Nithe14/metacritic-cli.git
cd metacritic-cli
cargo run -- -h
```
# Usage:
```bash
$ metacritic-cli -h
Usage: metacritic-cli [OPTIONS]
Arguments:
Word to search.
You can provide "coming-soon" to get upcoming game releases.
Examples:
`metacritic-cli "witcher 3"`
`metacritic-cli coming-soon -p ps5`
Options:
-s, --single
Print only the first object from the result page.
Works as -n 1.
-j, --json
Print output as json
-n, --number-of-results
Print only n first objects from the result page (n = 1-10) [default: 3]
-t, --type
Specify object type.
Available types:
movie, game, album, tv, person, video, company, story, all [default: game]
-p, --platform
Specify platform (only for game type for now).
Available options (ps5 and xbox-series-x is only available for "coming-soon" for now - it is because of metacritic not me, sorry):
ps, ps2, ps3, ps4, ps5, xbox, xbox360, xboxone, xbox-series-x, switch, pc, ds, 3ds, ps-vita, psp, wii, wii-u, gameboy-advance, iphone, all [default: all]
-h, --help
Print help
-V, --version
Print version
