No longer maintained.
BrickSet changed their API that would require a rewrite of this module, so it's currently no longer being maintained.


Brickset Connect allows content creators to connect to the Brickset.com API V2 for importing information about Lego sets as stored in the Brickset database. This module defines:

  • Configuration for connecting to the Brickset.com API
  • A content type for storing set information
  • A mechanism for importing set information and creating nodes based on a set number
  • A view for listing imported set numbers, suitable for exporting set numbers
  • A searchable view for listing set details, suitable for searching sets

Requirements and API Interaction

The Brickset Connect module uses the Brickset.com API V2, which requires an account with Brickset.com and an API key.

Create a username, password, and request a Brickset.com API key here: https://brickset.com/tools/webservices/requestkey

You will then use that information to configure your installation as noted below.

Installation

  1. Install the Brickset Connect module as you would any other module.
  2. Enable the Brickset Connection module.
  3. Enter your Brickset API username, password, and API key at admin/config/brickset_connect/settings. This can also be found from the Configuration page under Development > Brickset Connect settings.
  4. Once enabled and configured, you can begin to enter set numbers on the Brickset Connect tab under the Content menu at admin/content/brickset_connect/content.
  5. You can find your full set list at brick-sets/set-numbers
  6. You can find your searchable set listing details at brick-sets/set-listings

Known Issues

FAQ

Q: Now that I have these sets imported, how do I display them?
A: You can use one of the two provided Views displays or you can theme the nodes and display them like any other content by using Views or any other mechanism to display node content.

Q: Can I use BrickLink or some other API to load content?
A: Right now, you can only use Brickset.com, but feel free to fork the code and help make it extensible!
