old-downloader

A simple tool for downloading all of the data from an OLD (Online Linguistic Database) instance.

Installation

Clone the source:

$ git clone https://github.com/dativebase/old-downloader.git

Using Leiningen, create the standalone .jar file:

$ lein uberjar

Note: you must have Leiningen and Clojure installed.

Usage

To download an OLD's data, supply the URL, username and password for the OLD instance whose data you want to download:

$ java -jar target/uberjar/old-downloader-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar \
  https://some.domain.com/path/to/old/instance/ \
  someusername \
  somepassword

Alternatively, use lein run:

$ lein run \
  https://some.domain.com/path/to/old/instance/ \
  someusername \
  somepassword

If successful, your OLD data should be present under a local olds/ directory, within a subdirectory named after the URL you supplied and the current timestamp. Successful output will look something like this:

Attempting to download the data from the OLD at 'https://some.domain.com/path/to/old/instance/' using username 'someusername' and password 'somepassword'.
 - 1834 forms downloaded and stored at olds/https-some-domain-com-path-to-old-instance-1553205324/forms.json.
Success!

Note: file data are not currently downloaded by this tool.
