# Nitro9
A tool to index available programmes on the BBC iPlayer / radio-player for offline analysis.
This is a scraper that runs on [Morph](https://morph.io). Please read [the Morph.io documentation](https://morph.io/documentation).
It can also be run locally.
Set an environment variable called `MORPH_API_KEY` to your Nitro API key. When initially run on an empty / non-existant database, a
full scrape of available programmes is performed. Subsequently, only those programmes broadcast since the last update will be added.
Programmes passed their expiry date are removed.
To build a full index again, either delete the database or set the environment variable `MORPH_REBUILD` to `true`.
Usage: `node scraper.js`
Output is an sqlite3 database containing one table, "data":
````javascript
var fields = [
'#index',
'type',
'name',
'pid',
'available',
'expires',
'episode',
'seriesnum',
'episodenum',
'versions',
'duration',
'desc',
'channel',
'categories',
'thumbnail',
'timeadded',
'guidance',
'web',
'vpids'
];
````
Also included is a simple command line utility called `query.js` for performing SQL queries against the remote Morph.io database and
returning the rows in JSON format.
Usage: `node query {SQL-statement}`
