The Python script queries the GMail API for notification emails from KinderCare. If they refer to an image or video the media file is being downloaded from the KinderCare website.
- Python 3
- The Python packages:
google-api-python-clientgoogle-auth-httplib2google-auth-oauthliblxmlrequestsPyYAML
Configure the names of the children (as it appears in the subject line of the
notification emails from Kindercare) as well as the username and password for
the KinderCare app / website in the file kindercare.yaml.
The file kindercare.sample.yaml contains the necessary structure.
On the first run the credentials for the GMail API are set up.
Follow the instructions in the browser and copy-n-paste the generated
credentials into the file gmail-api.json.
The file gmail-api.sample.json contains the necessary structure.
The script scrape-kindercare.py can be called repeatedly.
It only considers notification emails which haven't been checked during past
invocations.
To reset that history delete the file previously-handled.yaml.
All media files will be downloaded into a subdirectory media/CHILD-NAME.
For the filename as well as the last accessed and modified time the timestamp
of the email is being used.
