Resources Used

Build and Deploy

API Setup

Create an OAuth app on Github
Set environment value CLIENT_ID as the client_id of the OAuth app
Set environment value CLIENT_SECRET as the client_secret of the OAuth app

Database Setup

Create a MongoDB server. I've used MLab
Set environment value MONGODB_URI to the MongoDB server url
Create a collection members

Members setup

Add the members you want to show in users.json
Run python update.py
Wait for it to populate the database

Run the app and deploy

Install all dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt
Run python app.py
Browse to localhost:5000
Deploy to your preferred platform. I've used heroku.

Updating and maintainance

Create a scheduler to run python update.py every hour. (If it is run more than once an hour, you can get rate limited)
Everytime you add a new name to the list, it is safer to manually run python update.py
rather than wait for it to update at the next schedule
