Populating the Service

The following scripts ingest from 3rd party sites, transform the data, and send it to the events API service.

Prerequisites

You need to have python 3.6.6, and pipenv installed to run each script; the following commands will allow you to check both your python and pipenv version.

$ python --version
$ pipenv

You will also need to create API keys for Meetup.com and Eventbrite. These can be exported as environmental variable in your session using export VARIABLE_NAME=VALUE or can be added to a .env file.

MEETUP_API_TOKEN=
EVENTBRITE_API_TOKEN=
DEVELOPER_KEY=
GITHUB_TOKEN=
LOCATION=

You can request an API key for both services using the following links:

  • Meetup
  • Eventbrite
  • Northern Ireland Science Festival does not require an API key

Lastly, you will need to provide the endpoint which will update your local service.

EVENTS_ENDPOINT=http://localhost/events
VIDEOS_ENDPOINT=http://localhost/videos
SPEAKERS_ENDPOINT=http://localhost/speakers
DEVELOPERS_ENDPOINT=http://localhost/developers

Ensure all database migrations have been applied to a running database, and that the optional seed_db command has been run for the users service. If you request data from http:localhost/events and do not see a Flask error page, then you are good to proceed.

Installing

Before running the scripts you will need to install the dependencies via the Pipfile; please allow 1-2 minutes for this to complete on slower connections.

pipenv install

Running the scripts

Run the following command and you're database should get populated.

$ pipenv run python src/meetup_events.py

View http://localhost and you should now see a list of events

Loading data form all sources

To load data from all sources, you can run the following shell scripts with an environment flag

./load_data.sh dev
