Extract data using the Forecast and Harvest APIs

jack89roberts commented 5 years ago

See how straightforward it is to interact with Harvest and Forecast programmatically via their APIs, and extract as much data from them as possible.

Progress

Does not have a public API, see https://help.getharvest.com/forecast/faqs/faq-list/api/
However, there is a stable enough private/hidden API for some wrappers to have been developed. I found pyforecast, which is described as a work in progress but I've found it works ok. See https://github.com/vafliik/pyforecast
See the script api/harvest_api.py, and the data in data/harvest.

Harvest
Has a well documented, public API. See https://help.getharvest.com/api-v2/
python-harvest package: Wrapper for interacting with the API in python. However, I believe it was originally developed for the old v1 version of the API. There is a development branch for v2 which mostly works, but it gave me errors when trying to request some tables. See https://github.com/lionheart/python-harvest/tree/v2_dev
See the script api/harvest_api.py, and the data in data/forecast.

Closing as marked as done and not touched the implementation for some time.
