This repository contains scripts that I have constructed to push different things to my pebble timeline. Currently the following project(s) are published here:
- Word of the day (
wod.py)
Word of the day scrapes the merriam-webster word of the day webpage, then constructs and sends a RESTful call to a given timeline-proxy. This will then display as a timeline notification on your pebble device.
A token is required to use this tool. The token is an identifier for your specific user / app on the rebble web services. There is a tool on the Rebble store written by the formidable Will0 that allows you to easily generate this token. Aptly named Generate Token.
You can then populate variables.py with this token:
token = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
pinproxy_url = 'https://willow.systems/pinproxy-ifttt/'pinproxy_url can also be replaced with an alternative timeline-proxy url if desired.
To run wod.py, requests and bs4 need installed as pre-requisites. This can be achieved by doing:
python3 -m pip install requests bs4After which you can invoke wod by simply running:
python3 wod.pyusage: wod.py [-h] [-d]
get word of the day from merriam-webster
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d, --debug suppress notificationsSome example systemd service files are included in this repository under /systemd. These facilitate running the wod script on a daily schedule, specifically on systems that operate on systemd.
