audio-port-fetcher 0.1.2

A JBrowser-based crawler to download program audio files from audioport.org.

Who is this for?

AudioPort subscribers with the means to set up an automated job to fetch audio episode files periodically.

Installation

Install Java SE Runtime Environment 8.
Download the latest audio-port-fetcher standalone JAR from the release page and save it somewhere you can later find it.
Create a configuration file with your credentials and the list of programs you'd like to fetch. See the Configuration section below.

Configuration

The configuration file contains the credential information and the list of all the programs that could be fetched.

With this example below, a radio station can fetch two programs from audioport.org: "Ralph Nader Radio Hour" and "The Michael Slate Show":

{
 :credentials {
  :username "your-audioport.org-username"
  :password "your-audioport.org-password"
  }
 :programs {
  :rn {
   :pub_title "Ralph Nader Radio Hour"
   }
  :ms {
   :pub_title "The Michael Slate Show"
   }
  }
 }
}

You can choose the abbreviated codes as you'd like but they can't have spaces. Also, the :pub_title field should match (including capitalization) the title of the program on audioport.org.

audio-port-fetcher expects to find the configuration at ~/.audioportfetcher but you can specify a config file in a different location or with a different name when running the program.

(You can download or copy / paste this sample file but you must update the file with your audioport user name and password).

Usage

You can run the program from the command-line using the following format:

java -jar audio-port-fetcher-0.1.2-standalone.jar <action> [options] <program-codes>

Actions

fetch: Downloads an audio file for the specified programs.

Options

-c, --config: Specify an alternate configuration file.
-d, --date: Specify a date for fetching a program's episode.

Program Codes

audio-port-fetcher does not automatically fetch all the programs found in the configuration. Instead, you specify the ones to fetch when running it. The abbreviated code refers to the code with a leading colon at the beginning of each program block in the configuration file (e.g., :rn, :ms).

Examples

Given the sample configuration above, you can fetch the latest episode of the Ralph Nader Radio Hour as so:

java -jar audio-port-fetcher-0.1.2-standalone.jar fetch :rn

If your configuration file is not in the expected location, you can tell the program using the -c option:

java -jar audio-port-fetcher-0.1.2-standalone.jar fetch -c myconfig.edn :rn

To fetch the latest episodes of more than one program at a time, pass multiple codes:

java -jar audio-port-fetcher-0.1.2-standalone.jar fetch :rn :ms

To fetch an episode using a known release date, use the -d option with the date in YYYY-MM-DD format:

java -jar audio-port-fetcher-0.1.2-standalone.jar fetch -d 2019-07-10 :ms

In each case, the MP3 of the latest program will be downloaded to the current directory.
