You have been exchanging emails with links to music videos for years with some friends ? This script will generates an HTML page summarizing all those exchanges, as an archive to this precious playlist.
Also: despite its name, this tool is in no way limited to music. It will happily scrape any hyperlinks in your emails.
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
If you're using Gmail, all you really need is to generate an app password for this script to access your emails, and to give it a string that appears in all the subjects of the emails you want to parse :
read -s IMAP_PASSWORD
./music_emails_spybot.py ComfySpy --email-subject Comfy --imap-username lucascimon --imap-password $IMAP_PASSWORD
cat <<EOF > /etc/cron.d/music_emails_spybot_crontask
00 00 * * * $USER (date && "$PWD/music_emails_spybot.py" ComfySpy --email-subject Comfy --imap-username lucascimon --imap-password $IMAP_PASSWORD >> "$PWD/ComfySpy.log" 2>&1)
EOF
Bug reports or features suggestions are warmly welcome !
For the devs:
pip3 install pre-commit pytest
pre-commit install
Executing a single test:
py.test -k test_fct
- make links extraction smarter by ignoring bottom of emails containing previous messages cf. #1 - Current workaround is to only read first 5000 chars
- split
maininto tasks, that save their state into the JSON memory file when they finish, so that it'd be possible to exec only 1 task (fetch emails / extract quotes / generate HTML...) - for each task, show its duration & memory usage
- publish on Pypi
- handle multiple input subjects / the full Gmail search syntax
- auto-generate a Youtube playlist
