These are some utilities I use during advent of code. Feel free to take a look and use/modify them if you find them useful.

• aoc download downloads your input from the advent of code website.
• aoc leaderboard downloads the specified leaderboard from the website.
• aoc scores will create a pretty text rendering of the JSON leaderboard file.

Bash completion is available by adding

eval "$(aoc completion)"

to your .bashrc file.

These utilities identify themselves to the Advent of Code server in accordance with automation guidelines. Please do your part by following the rules below:

• Direct the output of the download and leaderboard commands to a file so it is cached. For example to download your day's input, use the command:

  aoc download > day01-input.txt
  

• Aim to download each day's input only once. On occasion there may be an issue that requires that you download it twice, but this should be rare.

• Do not download the leaderboard more than once every 15 minutes.

Thank you for keeping the load on Advent of Code's servers to a minimum.
