* event-finder

This is a script I wrote for SCESoc. The role of the script is to find events related to engineering and computing.

** Setup

Python 3.6+ is required to run this script

1. Install virtualenv

2. Create a virtual environment

   #+BEGIN_SRC sh

virtualenv .venv

   #+END_SRC

3. Enter API tokens by copying secrets_template.json to secrets.json and editing appropriately

4. Enter the environment

   #+BEGIN_SRC sh

   source ./venv/bin/activate

   #+END_SRC

5. Install dependencies

   #+BEGIN_SRC sh

   pip install -r requirements.txt

   #+END_SRC

6. Run the program

    #+BEGIN_SRC sh

    python event-finder.py address distance output

    #+END_SRC

    

Where:

- address: the physical address such as "Ottawa" or "1220 Merivale Road"

- distance: the distance in km such as "100km"

- output: the file where the data will be written to, as JSON
