Usage

Using with a server

We use these scripts on a VPS for the backend. Running the main.py script will start a Flask app that listens for a post request with two lists on the server, and returns a 1 or 0 depending on whether a website should be blocked.

Using without a server

If you wish to run this without a server and flask, you can run block.py (or any other file) directly.

1. Create a new python file
2. Import block from block.py
3. Call block, you can exclude threshold, errorterm, and weight if you wish to use our optimized parameters

   block(list1, list2, threshold, errorterm, weight)
