Installation

pip install zotcher

Etymology

Important things first.

Zomato™ + fetcher = Zotcher

Motivation

Zomato™ devs were too incompetent to provide order items in their CSV exports and after tearing my hair out by scraping their dashboard via client side Javascript, it became readily apparent that hacking around their private API would be far easier than sitting around and praying for them do the sensible thing. So I did.

Config & Usage

Zotcher was built with convention over configuration in mind. All that is required by the user is the Node.js fetch call to fetch-orders-by-states that can be grabbed from Chrome's Network tab in it's developer tools.

1. Open up the Zomato Partner Dashboard in Chrome.
2. Open the developer tools (F12). Click on "Network".
3. Right click fetch-orders-by-states and select "Copy" -> "Copy as Node.js fetch".
4. Paste the copied code into a file, e.g. fetch.js.
5. Run the config command to generate a config file. This should create a config.json file.

$ zotcher.py config fetch.js

6. Fetch the orders using the fetch command.

$ zotcher.py fetch orders.json

This should save the orders from the past 10 days to orders.json. You can go further by tweaking the flags of the fetch command. Enjoy!
