Setting Up

# One of these:
pip install virtualenv
sudo apt install python3-venv

# Then setup the virtual environment:
python3 -m venv env

# Activate the environment:
source env/bin/activate

# Install required packages
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Update set of required packages
pip freeze > requirements.txt

Authentication

Create a keys.json file in this directory containing your username & password:

{
	"username": "<your username>",
	"password": "<your password>"
}

After the first time the script is run, the file will automatically be updated to use access tokens, rather than your password.

Usage

To create a usage.tsv file, and keep it updated with new, non-duplicated, results, just run the script:

./run.sh

To run the code manually:

# Activate the environment:
source env/bin/activate

# Run the script & store the results:
python3 main.py >> output.tsv
