Simple data export and feeds from FA.
Check out the documentation for a full list of functionality.
The file lib/faexport/scraper.rb contains all the code required to access data from FA.
Just want FAExport running? Install vagrant then
vagrant up
A virtual machine will be built with everything you need, running FAexport on port 9292.
If you need to change this edit the startup script called serve
Create a file named settings.yml in the root directory containing a valid FA cookie:
cookie: "b=3a485360-d203-4a38-97e8-4ff7cdfa244c; a=b1b985c4-d73e-492a-a830-ad238a3693ef"This cookie can be generated by visiting any FA page and running the folowing code in the developer console:
document.cookie.split('; ').filter(function(x){return/^[ab]=/.test(x)}).sort().reverse().join('; ')If you're having trouble with this, check out issue 17.
You may want to do this in a private browsing session as logging out of your account will invalidate the cookie and break the scraper.
Install Redis, Ruby and Bundler,
run bundle install then bundle exec rackup config.ru to get a development server running.
For example, on a Debian based system you would run:
sudo apt-get install redis-server ruby ruby-dev
sudo gem install bundler
bundle install
bundle exec rackup config.ru
This application can be run on Heroku, just add an instance of 'Redis To Go' for caching.
Rather than uploading settings.yml, set the environment variable FA_COOKIE
to the generated cookie you gathered from FA.
