# MTG Online Backend
A Python FastAPI application that processes Magic: The Gathering card data from [MTGJSON](https://mtgjson.com/) and stores it in PostgreSQL, with Redis for caching.
## Overview
This project provides a backend API for a Magic: The Gathering Online platform. It downloads and processes MTGJSON v5 dataset dumps, loads them into a PostgreSQL database, and exposes REST endpoints for card data, user authentication, deck management, and game state.
### Key Features
- **MTGJSON Data Pipeline** — Downloads `AllPrintings.psql`, `AllIdentifiers.json`, `Keywords.json`, `CardTypes.json`, and `AllDeckFiles.zip` from MTGJSON v5 on startup or via a `POST /refresh` endpoint.
- **Dual PostgreSQL** — Two databases: `mtgonline` for the application (users, decks, auth) and `mtgdata` for MTG card data.
- **Redis Caching** — Used for card lookup caching and interaction pipeline state.
- **REST API** — `/docs` (Swagger) available at runtime.

### Data Flow
1. **On startup**, the backend connects to PostgreSQL (both instances) and Redis.
2. It checks `mtg_refresh_log` in the `mtgdata` database for existing data.
3. If no data exists, it downloads MTGJSON files from `https://mtgjson.com/api/v5/`, unzips if needed, and upserts them into `mtgdata` tables (`mtg_sets`, `mtg_cards`, etc.).
4. The data is then available via REST endpoints.
## Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- Docker and Docker Compose
### Run the Stack
```bash
cd /home/wall-o/projects/mtgonline
# Start all services (Postgres x2, Redis, Backend)
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
# View logs
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml logs -f backend
```
The backend will automatically download MTGJSON data on first startup (this may take several minutes).
### Access

## Docker Cleanup
```bash
# Stop and remove all containers
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml down
# Remove images and prune
docker system prune -a --volumes
