This is not used anymore. 3 | 4 | 5 | ## Getting started 6 | 7 | ### Setup 8 | 1) Copy ```config-sample.py``` to ```config.py``` 9 | 10 | ```bash 11 | cp config-sample.py config.py 12 | ``` 13 | 2) Get a GoodReads API key [here](https://www.goodreads.com/api/keys) 14 | 3) Copy your public key to the ```config.py``` file 15 | 16 | ### Converting 17 | 18 | Run 19 | 20 | ```bash 21 | python3 housekeep.py --file_type='old' 22 | ``` 23 | 24 | The ``--file_type='old'`` flag is needed if the books are displayed in the old format (in a list). New format is the default (when the records are displayed in tables). 25 | 26 | This will convert to the new format and save it to ``README-new.md``. 27 | 28 | **Note!** the first conversion can take some time, we wait 1 second between each request to GoodReads to not abuse the API. 29 | After the first generation only missing records will be tried to be retrieved. 30 | 31 | Run to see the available arguments 32 | ```bash 33 | python3 housekeep.py --help 34 | ``` 35 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /utils/README.MD: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | `utils/` mainly contains scripts for generating `app/src/data/books.json` file from `README.md` 2 | 3 | In most cases, you don't want to run the scripts in this directory or make changes to it. 4 | The only time you want to mess with the scripts is when you want to fetch some extra data from `API` or 5 | want to update the `app/src/data/books.json` file to include a newly added book or category. 6 | 7 | ## Generating `app/src/data/books.json` 8 | 9 | The website shows name of the book, year, rating, cover, amazon link, etc in book card. Some of the 10 | data like name, year, rating etc is present in the [main README.md](../README.md). Other details 11 | like cover photo, amazon link etc is fetched from various APIs. 12 | 13 | The script that fetches all these extra data lives in `utils/update_json_files.py` 14 | 15 | The script goes through all the books in [main README.md](../README.md) and starts fetching the extra details 16 | from `Goodreads` and `Google Search` API. And the result is stored in `utils/books.json` and `utils/book_name_to_details.json` 17 | (used for caching only). 18 | 19 | Once the script completes the run, the `utils/books.json` file is copied to `app/src/data/books.json` **manually**. 20 | 21 | And the website uses the data from `app/src/data/books.json` for generating the pages. 22 | 23 | ## Install packages for script 24 | 25 | ```bash 26 | cd utils 27 | virtualenv . 28 | source bin/activate 29 | pip install -r requirements.txt 30 | ``` 31 | 32 | ## Executing the script 33 | 34 | - Register at [goodreads](https://www.goodreads.com) 35 | - Apply for a developer api [here](https://www.goodreads.com/api) 36 | - Copy utils/config-sample.py as utils/config.py 37 | - Fill in the API Key credentials 38 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /utils/config-sample.py: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | #
