GoBricksPart-API

API and conversion table of Gobricks vs. LEGO® part ID numbers using gobricks backend API

---

This iPython Script uses the brick database from rebrickable.com to determine real LEGO® ID part numbers (ca. 30'000 items). The part numbers are filtered by category (e.g. no sticker sheets, Duplo® etc.). The filtered parts (ca. 11'000 items) are then sent to the gobricks.cn backend API to get a result if gobricks offers a compatible clone part and what Gobricks item number is.

edit

Actually, there is no need to convert any of your lists as long as they are in .csv Format. The Gobricks toolkit accepts partlists with LEGO® ID part numbers in the Rebrickable .csv Format. LEGO® ID part numbers in a .xlsx File will not work.
