Now I bet your wondering what this has to do with incith. Just why does it have his name? Well, the simple answer is the man is brilliant. Plus, this script uses his code as a base.. So the right thing to do in this case, is credit the man...
#---------------------------------------------------------------#
# incith:gamertag v1.3 #
# #
# This script basically scrapes profile.mygamercard.net and #
# returns relevant information about that gamer to irc. #
# #
# Usage: #
# .chanset #channel +gamertag #
# !gamertag <tag to search for> #
# #
# ChangeLog: #
# v1.3 - To piss off the admins of mygamercard I've now #
# added cookies to more robustly support browser #
# like behavior and keep them from caring. #
# v1.2 - MGC notes for gamerscore discrepancies. #
# percentages now check for divide by zero. #
# v1.1 - percentages added for easily seeing ratio #
# of score and achievements. #
# v1.0 - first release, enjoy.. :) #

You can see this keeps with the familiar format of all incith scripts, as well as keeping the same config making it easy for anyone to use and modify. If you wish to change the output, just find the commented (# alter this to change the output display to your liking..) change the set output line to your liking. For v1.1 the bot simply 'does the math' for the score/achievement ratios turning them into percentages, it's a nice feature to have makes it easier to compare your fields against another players. for v1.2 we step it up a notch with the additional benefit of MGC notes for gamerscore discrepancy as well as checking for divide by zero. You now have a total package that can get info on any xbox-live gamer.

That was the point, he did make it, except for the proc that does the scraping. That was why I decided not to claim everything for myself, because all I did was add the scraper, the rest _is_ incith. If he feels differently about it, and feels it shouldn't be monikered after him, then by all means I've done him a disservice. I'm just hoping he feels honored

Hopefully people are smart enough to realize the difference since to even get the script they would have had to read this post. This wont be posted to the archive, it's just for those here that wish to use it, a forum exclusive as is the unofficial google, they are tributes to incith
I noticed something while using this script.
if someone types just !gamertag with no argument it brings of the stats for some guy named morgon.

I dont think it's the scripts fault bc going to http://profile.mygamercard.net (with no /gamertag on the end) shows that info.
So is there some way I/you could change it to check for an argument before attempting to retrieve information, so you end up with some thing like
<someguy> !gamertag
<somebot> Please enter a search query. Ex. !gamertag bobsmith

Feel free to edit the code to match the reply you find acceptable. To avoid editing, you can get the fixed script here. Most important, have a fun

Nice work, doesn't offend me at all. Brought a smile. =) Thanks for the kind words speechles..
Indeed, its neccessary to give props to the code that gave me inspiration. Helping others using comments in your code so they learn from your examples is excellent. In keeping with that tradition, I've got another update to this script to bring it closer to perfection..
To get the newest version of this script please see the 1st post in this thread, it contains all the history and revisions that have been made.
@incith, your wonderful google script constantly amazes me. Thanks so much for allowing me (and others since its GNU) to modify your script. It's allowed me to create something I think is truly unique in the eggdrop world. A multi-purpose, multi-language, super google bot

everytime someone tries to use the script it fails now, any ideas or updates on this script?
MyGamerTag dislikes this script for some reason. In fact several users have sent me messages they received from MyGamerTag when asking why their IP was banned/blacklisted. The message made it pretty clear they know about this script. They asked the fellow if he knew of a scripting language called tcl which ran on eggdrop bots for irc. Pretty clear to me they must mean this script
I guess the fact that it doesn't allow a user to click banners/advertising, nor does it attempt to download the images they use for banners/advertising causes them to get a little pissed off. They are now throttling requests and over-use will now lead to a blackhole (basically they blacklist your ip for 24 hours). Happens to me when using only a browser (firefox in this case) as well. Eventually they stop replying and the page will timeout. I'll try to investigate it deeper and find a more suitable user-agent string or pass some headers along too to keep this at bay. But for the meantime, there is really nothing wrong with the script. It's a problem with the webmaster/admins of MyGamerTag and their policies towards bots/automated scripts (they abhor them)..

This has begun happening to me too. I changed the flood settings to allow for more lookups faster and now it appears my IP has been blocked. Before that, I had no problem.
A couple things I can think of that may help. The most obvious would be to have proxy support. I also noticed (or couldn't find) that the script emulates a browser and sends any sort of user agent (ua) back to the server. Possibly doing that and having a random ua sent for each gamertag query might confuse them a bit.

This is because they intially give you a phpsessid to follow for future reference and the script wasn't keeping track of cookie traffic. But now, since the admins of mygamercard seem to be such well..f****** a******* then let's make it totally look like the script is a browser and support phpsessid cookies. This is now functional and available.

If you see that cookies are used, then this should stop the site from eventually abolishing your ip to hell. Hopefully...
Thanks very much speechles! Looks like they have my bots IP totally blocked now though, unfortunately, so I guess I'm stuck. Still appreciated.
Will add proxy support as well. But for most proxies, cookie traffic usually isn't carried over. But this should allow you to get the script "working" again.

Any update on the proxy support speechles?
