Original Post — Direct link

Trying to make Tolbby’s tribe guide spreadsheet easier to gather input data. If we had a text string of information from a replay that would be ideal. I know python can be used to capture on screen text from a video so I figured it would be useful for this. Anyone think it’s a worthy project to take on to make a great tribe guide for the community??

A replay link is not a video file or anything like that. It contains a reference number that is used to look up the game in the polytopia database through the Polytopia app and everything else happens in the app as well. You would need to then let the entire thing play out and record it before you can even begin using video analysing software

Yep, this is it. Replays aren't a video, but a list of actions, effectively.

What are the chances we can get the raw game data from a replay link/ID?

Virtually nil?
