issues

generates checkins.db but seems to fail before generating views

note: it worked on an Ubuntu WSL but fails on macOS 12.5.1

later edit: I suspect this is a problem with my local set-up, dogsheep-beta index also throws the same error

full error:

It looks like Swarm changed their schema and now both venues and checkins have createdAt fields.

Which breaks this view: https://github.com/dogsheep/swarm-to-sqlite/blob/719b6e96a016d0ca8b316d3bed9c2a7a0cb499ee/swarm_to_sqlite/utils.py#L171-L188

• add to checkin_details view new column for a calculated photo links
• supported multiple links split by newline
• create events table if there's no events in the history to avoid SQL errors

Fixes #9.

I tried to use https://your-foursquare-oauth-token.glitch.me/ to get my Swarm auth token and got a 403 after I clicked the Allow button:

I'm not sure if this is the right repo to report this in

Just installed swarm-to-sqlite-0.3.2 and tried according to the docs:

While running swarm-to-sqlite it throws an error:

Where should i dig in?

Fixes the errors: - sqlite3.OperationalError: table posts has no column named text - sqlite3.OperationalError: table photos has no column named hasSticker

That will cause sqlite-utils to notice if there's a missing column and add it. As recommended by @simonw

The photos table stores data like this:

id | createdAt | source | prefix | suffix | width | height | visibility | created ▲ | user -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- 5e12c9708506bc000840262a | January 06, 2020 - 05:45:20 UTC | Swarm for iOS 1 | https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/ | /15889193_AXxGk4I1nbzUZuyYqObgbXdJNyEHiwj6AUDq0tPZWtw.jpg | 1920 | 1440 | public | 2020-01-06T05:45:20 | 15889193

The photo URL can be derived from those pieces - define a SQL view which does that (using datasette-json-html to display the pictures)

broke for me. very old checkins in 2010 had no source set.

The Foursquare checkins API supports "return every checkin occurring after this point" - I can pass it the maximum createdAt date currently stored in the database. This will allow for quick incremental fetches via a cron.

I will link to this from the documentation. See also this conversation on Twitter: https://twitter.com/simonw/status/1166822603023011840

I've decided to go with "copy and paste in a token" rather than hooking up a local web server that can have tokens passed to it.

Current test failure is due to timezone differences between my laptop and Circle CI:

https://circleci.com/gh/dogsheep/swarm-to-sqlite/3

E Full diff: E - [{'created': '2018-07-01T04:48:19', E ? ^ E + [{'created': '2018-07-01T02:48:19', E ? ^ E 'createdAt': 1530413299,

The timestamps I store in created should always be UTC.

This is a complement to the --load option - mainly useful for development purposes.

(I'll rename --file to --load as part of this issue).

The tool currently only works with a pre-prepared JSON file of checkins.

When called without options, it should prompt the user to paste in a Foursquare OAuth token.

The --token= option should work too, and should be backed up by an optional environment variable.
