grouvee_export

This is a partial grouvee (a video game database website) exporter.

To save your data from Grouvee:

Need to login with Grouvee Username/Password
Go to https://www.grouvee.com/export/
Get the download link sent to your email to download the CSV export

The python script installed here handles the first 2 steps, but the last depends on if you have some way to access your email programmatically. Personally, I use the script in bin, running it once evry 2 months

This also includes a command to parse the resulting CSV file, once you've downloaded it to your computer

Installation

Requires python3.9+

To install with pip, run:

python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/purarue/grouvee_export

Requires a chromedriver binary. See here

Usage

Expects a file at ~/.local/share/grouvee.yaml like

username: grouveeUsername
password: grouveePassword

Then run: python3 -m grouvee_export export -c /path/to/chromedriver -- which logs you in using your credentials and goes to the export page. After about 10 minutes, an email should be sent to you with a link to the CSV file

After you've downloaded the CSV file, you can use the python3 -m grouvee_export parse command to parse the export:

 $ python3 -m grouvee_export parse ~/data/grouvee/1621762287.csv | jq '.[0]'
