Adding scraper to launchd

In order to have the scraper run automatically every day, follow these steps:

  1. In a file called launchd.sh add the following lines. Save to same root directory as scraper's main.py.
# source ~/.bashrc
# cd /Users/[USER]/PATH/TO/deltapoint-scraper
# /Users/[USER]/PATH/TO/deltapoint-scraper/runpy.sh

  1. In com.deltapoint.tda.scraper.plist file, update the two address <string> tags with the absolute filepath to the scraper.

  2. Find the folder for launchd .plist files. Probably located ~/Library/LaunchAgents/. Copy the included com.deltapoint.tda.scraper.plist file to that folder.

  3. In terminal, run the following command to load the file:

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.deltapoint.tda.scraper.plist

If you need to unload the task, run

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.deltapoint.tda.scraper.plist
