b-j-mills / cods-scraper Goto Github PK

This script collects COD service calls from the ITOS API and from the ITOS geoservice directory and creates corresponding resources on HDX. The scraper takes around 20 minutes to run. It makes in the order of 200 reads from the COD API and 1000 read/writes (API calls) to HDX in total. It does not create temporary files as it puts urls into HDX. It is run daily.

python run.py

For the script to run, you will need to have a file called .hdx_configuration.yml in your home directory containing your HDX key eg.

hdx_key: "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"
hdx_read_only: false
hdx_site: prod

You will also need to supply the universal .useragents.yml file in your home directory as specified in the parameter user_agent_config_yaml passed to facade in run.py. The collector reads the key hdx-scraper-cods as specified in the parameter user_agent_lookup.

Alternatively, you can set up environment variables: USER_AGENT, HDX_KEY, HDX_SITE
