Simple Web Scrapping tool to get my data from MyNetDiary
This is a Python based project and it uses pip (via requirements.txt) to track dependencies.
I am currently running it (as most of my Python projects) via Virtualenv and the direnv integration in macOS.
It is kept simple enough, with embedded credentials (until I modify it a bit, but will I?).
Copy the credentials.example.yaml file into a credentials.yaml and modify it to configure your own username and password in MyNetDiary.
Execute python webscrapping.py to generated an output.csv result file with dates and weights.
You'll probably need to install the dependencies, which are described in requirements.txt. The simplest way is using pip install -r requirements on an isolated Virtualenv environment, but feel free to adapt this process as you fancy.
Currently, the process takes less than a minute for a span of 4 years, which is way better than doing it by hand. By default, the start date is 2012-01-01. This is not configurable or based on an argument to keep it simple and because I don't want to spend more time than needed on this script, but feel free to edit the webscrapping.py file (replacing the value of the startDate variable with a year-month-day format).
