Scrapes recipes and converts them to txt or markdown
Project description
Introduction
recipe2txt
is a CLI-program that you can feed your urls of recipes and it spits out formatted cookbooks containing those recipes. Highlights include:
- asynchronous fetching of recipes
- formatted output either as txt- or markdown-file
- local caching of recipes
The program is a wrapper for the recipe-scrapers-library. Please visit their README.md if you would like to know which sites are supported.
WARNING
THIS SOFTWARE IS AT AN EARLY DEVELOPEMENT STAGE.
BE CAREFUL SETTING THE --output
-FLAG, ANY EXISTING FILES WITH THE SAME NAME WILL BE OVERWRITTEN.
TESTED ONLY ON KUBUNTU 23.04.
Usage
Install with pip install recipe2txt
. You can either use recipe2txt
or re2txt
to run the program.
usage: recipes2txt [-h] [-u URL [URL ...]] [-f FILE [FILE ...]] [-o OUTPUT] [-v {debug,info,warning,error,critical}]
[-con CONNECTIONS] [-ia] [-c {only,new,default}] [-d] [-t TIMEOUT] [-md] [-ua USER_AGENT]
[-sa | -erase | -do DEFAULT_OUTPUT_FILE]
Scrapes URLs of recipes into text files
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-u URL [URL ...], --url URL [URL ...]
URLs whose recipes should be added to the recipe-file
-f FILE [FILE ...], --file FILE [FILE ...]
Text-files containing URLs (one per line) whose recipes should be added to the recipe-file
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
Specifies an output file. If empty or not specified recipes will either be written into the
current working directory or into the default output file (if set). THIS WILL OVERWRITE ANY
EXISTING FILE WITH THE SAME NAME.
-v {debug,info,warning,error,critical}, --verbosity {debug,info,warning,error,critical}
Sets the 'chattiness' of the program (default 'critical')
-con CONNECTIONS, --connections CONNECTIONS
Sets the number of simultaneous connections (default: 4).
-ia, --ignore-added [NI]Writes recipe to file regardless if it has already been added
-c {only,new,default}, --cache {only,new,default}
Controls how the program should handle its cache: With 'only' no new data will be downloaded,
the recipes will be generated from data that has been downloaded previously. If a recipe is
not in the cache, it will not be written into the final output. 'new' will make the program
ignore any saved data and download the requested recipes even if they have already been
downloaded. Old data will be replaced by the new version, if it is available. The 'default'
will fetch and merge missing data with the data already saved, only inserting new data into
the cache where there was none previously.
-d, --debug Activates debug-mode: Changes the directory for application data
-t TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT
Sets the number of seconds the program waits for an individual website to respond , eg. sets
the connect-value of aiohttp.ClientTimeout (default: 10.0 seconds)
-md, --markdown Generates markdown-output instead of '.txt'
-ua USER_AGENT, --user-agent USER_AGENT
Sets the user-agent to be used for the requests. (default: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0;
Win64; x64; rv:115.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0')
-sa, --show-appdata Shows data- and cache-files used by this program
-erase, --erase-appdata
Erases all data- and cache-files used by this program
-do DEFAULT_OUTPUT_FILE, --default-output-file DEFAULT_OUTPUT_FILE
Sets a file where recipes should be written to if no output-file is explicitly passed via '-o'
or '--output'. Pass 'RESET' to reset the default output to the current working directory. Does
not work in debug mode (default-output-file is automatically set by
'tests/testfiles/default_output_location.txt').
[NI] = 'Not implemented (yet)'

recipe2txt -u www.example-url.com/tastyrecipe www.other-examle-url.org/deliciousmeal -o ~/Documents/great-recipes.txt
Developement
Tools
nox
This project (ab-)uses nox as test-(and task-)runner. Install nox from PyPi.org (e.g. pipx install nox
). Use nox --list
to get an overview over the different routines the noxfile provides. For example to create the developement enviroment use nox -s dev
.
mypy
This project uses mypy for type checking. The configuration file contains all relevant settings, so a simple call to mypy
from the current directory should be sufficient to typecheck the project.
