# EGS Data-Mining
[![Build status with Github Action][build-image-action]][build-action]
[![Code coverage][codecov-image]][codecov]
[![Code Quality][codacy-image]][codacy]
This repository contains Python code to data-mine the Epic Games Store (EGS).
The workflow consists in:
1. listing namespaces associated with a known store page,
2. extracting codenames from the databases of `items` and `offers`,
3. filtering out codenames associated with a known store page,
4. listing one or several namespaces associated with each codename,
5. listing one or several `items` and `offers` associated with each namespace.
## Requirements
- Install the latest version of [Python 3.X][python-download-url].
- Install the required packages:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## Data acquisition
To download data from the trackers (at most once per day):
```bash
python download_data.py
```
## Usage
To figure out codenames of games for which the store page is not yet online:
```bash
python filter_codenames.py
```
The output is shown in `data/outputs.json`
as of May 21, 2021.
Then one can look for hints of unreleased games by manually filtering entries with one of the codenames at:
- [the item tracker][item-tracker-url]
- [the offer tracker][offer-tracker-url]
![Items and Offers, in order to check entries][generic-menu]
e.g. with the codename `Angelfish` :
![Filtering entries by codenames][generic-cover]
