CatalogScanner

Script to scan video or screenshots of user scrolling through their AC:NH Nook Shop catalog, DIY recipes list, critters, song list, reactions and more.

This is the source code for the Twitter bot @CatalogScanner, which is an automated version of this.

Installation

This script requires Python 3 and Tesseract-OCR to work.

You can then install the required libraries using pip and requirements.txt:

cd CatalogScanner
python3 -m venv .env
.env/Scripts/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Before using this script, you need to create a valid video file. There are many types of supported media. For the full list alongside instructions for each, check out https://nook.lol.

Scanning the media

Once you have your video file, you can pass it as the first argument to the script:

python scanner.py catalog.mp4

If you have screenshots, you can pass it as is if there is a single one, otherwise you need to number them starting with 0 and pass the filename with %d instead of the numbers.

python scanner.py catalog_%d.png

By default, it will detect the media type (catalog, recipes, etc), but you can force on with --mode.

You can use --for_sale to filter out items that are not purchasable, and you can use --locale to adjust the parsed language. By default, the script prints out the name of all the items found in your catalog video.
