Hi there - is it possible to get access to the full set database? I am working
on a set look-up / comparison tool and thought this would be a fast way of gaining
the data I need. If this is available and shareable, please point me in the right
direction!

Thank you!

2 ways - SQL injection, or easier:

The BL API will return set data in the form:

{'meta': {'description': 'OK', 'message': 'OK',
'code': 200}, 'data': {'no': '70419-1', 'name':
'Wrecked Shrimp Boat', 'type': 'SET', 'category_id':
1042, 'image_url': '//img.bricklink.com/SL/70419-1.jpg', 'thumbnail_url':
'//img.bricklink.com/S/70419-1.jpg', 'weight': '474.00',
'dim_x': '35.40', 'dim_y': '19.10', 'dim_z':
'5.90', 'year_released': 2019, 'is_obsolete': False}}

But you'd need to apply to be a seller for access and have (or learn) some
coding skills
