Events
======

It is an API for KGP Dashboard which gives all the relevant events from facebook happening in KGP.

## How does it work?

It gets the content from the specified pages using Facebook's graph API. We
use [facepy](https://github.com/hargup/facepy) as the python frontefnd for the
api.

## How to use Events

* Get a Facebook API token and save it in file name `ACCESS_TOKEN`. See this [StackOverflow Answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/16054555/1780891).
* The scraping script runs exclusively on Python 3, you can [conda](http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html) to easily switch between Python 2 and Python 3 environments.
* Install all the dependancies using `pip install -r requirements.txt`
* Run `fbscraper.py` by `python3 fbscraper.py`. You can setup up a cron job for running the file with referesh rate of your choice.
* Now run the server by `python app.py`.
