Scrapers

Scrapers run nightly to pull releases from record stores. Each store needs a schema defining its structure and a parser to extract release data from HTML.

Running Locally

pip install google-auth google-auth-oauthlib google-auth-httplib2
cd scrape
python3 dig.py -urls -store juno -verbose -key "{}"

Where -key is a valid Firebase auth token. Run python3 dig.py -help for full options.

Discogs

Discogs links are fetched or attempted to be fetched for all releases. This algrithm is work in progress and it is tricky to find the exact match in some cases. You can add items directly to you Discogs wantlist from in the app. In time deeper integration with discogs will be implemented.

Building the App

Built with C++, Objective-C and ImGui on top of pmtech.

git submodule update --init --recursive
cd app
pmtech/pmbuild ios    # or: mac, android

Xcode/Android Studio project lands in app/build/<platform>. Build from IDE or command line:

pmtech/pmbuild make ios diig
