- warhammer.com shop HTML/listing endpoints are behind AWS WAF (405/202
goku challenge) for non-browser clients; findings recorded in AGENTS.md
- the shop search runs on Algolia; public search-only key lets us dump the
whole product index with plain requests (no browser, no captcha)
- gwshop.py: credential loading (env or gitignored algolia.json), index
listing, facet-partitioned full retrieval (search-only key cannot /browse
and pagination caps at 1000, so the index is partitioned on the
GameSystemsRoot hierarchy facet), normalization into the sorter's
source-agnostic catalog schema (system/group/faction/subfaction/class)
- data/gwshop_catalog.json: snapshot of prod-lazarus-product-en-ww,
3491 unique products, every product with full hierarchy path
- tools/: one-shot browse + catalog builder + shape inspector
- dlphelper/globalstore.py: ~/.local/share/dlphelper/urls.json records every
successfully downloaded URL once, regardless of OUT_DIR - reposts in other
channels and re-runs of moved channels no longer re-download
- --subs subscriptions.json: batch mode over a configurable channel list;
re-exports each channel by default (new links get picked up), --no-fresh
reuses cached exports
- --assume-done <file>: manual import step that marks old URL lists as done
in the global store (deliberate, unverified, never automatic)
- lazy downloader startup: no gofile guest account / no curl runs when all
URLs are already done; token prompt skipped in --urls-file mode
- write_failed_urls creates OUT_DIR if needed
