Given one or more URLs, makes a set of Markdown files for use in Obsidian. E.g.:
I provide a pre-compiled, packaged Python binary that I have tested on my Apple Silicon Mac. It should work on other Apple Silicon Macs. Call it from a terminal like so (replacing the URL with your URL of interest):
$ ./agu-notes-from-url https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/meetingapp.cgi/Session/233359
(If you get a permissions error, try doing chmod +x agu-notes-from-url and try again. You should only have to do that once.)
If you have some other kind of machine, you'll need to run the script using Python. E.g.:
$ python3 agu-notes-from-url.py https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/meetingapp.cgi/Session/233359
More details on the latter below.
By default, this program:
- Downloads notes to the directory where it's called
- Includes
#AGU2024but with2024being the current year
If you'd like to change either of those, then in the directory where you'll be calling the binary/script (this does not have to be the directory where the binary/script is located, nor does it have to be the directory where you want the notes saved), make a text file called settings.ini. Change settings like so:
[optional]
output_location = /path/to/where/you/want/files/downloaded
year = 2024
You can also add debug = True to enable verbose printout useful for debugging.
Running the script with Python requires that your Python have the following non-standard modules installed:
regexseleniumv4.11 or later
If you get a ModuleNotFoundError for either of those, you can install them like so:
python3 -m pip install regex
