# Utils for Mind-Expanding-Books
|
|
|
|
Simple command line interface to extend and order the Mind-Expanding-Books list.
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
### Setup
|
|
1) Copy ```config-sample.py``` to ```config.py```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp config-sample.py config.py
|
|
```
|
|
2) Get a GoodReads API key [here](https://www.goodreads.com/api/keys)
|
|
3) Copy your public key to the ```config.py``` file
|
|
|
|
### Converting
|
|
|
|
Run
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 housekeep.py --file_type='old'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
This will convert to the new format and save it to ``README-new.md``.
|
|
|
|
**Note!** the first conversion can take some time, we wait 1 second between each request to GoodReads to not abuse the API.
|
|
After the first generation only missing records will be tried to be retrieved.
|
|
|
|
Run to see the available arguments
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 housekeep.py --help
|
|
```
