NAME
hn-profile - Hacker News Profile Dumper
USAGE
hn-profile [options]
OPTIONS
-h --help
Print the help message
-v --verbose
An accumulating counter that starts at 0. The higher the verbosity
level, the more information that gets spit back at you. Note that
this may get mixed in with the JSON output if you aren't sending it
to a file.
-f --file=FILE
The file to dump the JSON to. By default, the JSON will be printed
to STDOUT, so if you want to send it anywhere else, you'll have to
use this option.
-s --saved-articles
Parse the 'saved articles' section of your Hacker News profile.
-i --general-info
Parse out the generic information from your HN profile (e.g. karma
score, avg. rating, etc).
DESCRIPTION
A command to extract the information from your Hacker News[1] user profile.
It's especially useful for parsing out your 'saved articles' (aka the list
of links that you've upvoted) because they are only displayed 30/page, and
the 'next' link is seemingly auto-generated each time (and expires), so
there is no easy way to extract this data without walking the list from
most to least recent.
Your user_id and password should be specified in your ~/.netrc file. Type
'man netrc' for more information about the file format.
