Github PK Tool:Github PK Tool

Dump all character data from vndb in json format. The entire operation takes around 3 hours because vndb starts to throttle its api endpoint once the amount of api requests reach 200. The program has to wait for 10 minutes before resuming the operation.

Installation

npm run build

Built files are located in dist folder.

Usage

Available options provided using environment variables

START_ID
