Pull the oil type and oil filter type from some sort of API #121

Open baylessj opened 4 years ago

It would be really nice if there was a way to automatically find out what kind/amount of oil the car needed when it reminded you to change the oil.

Looks like I'm allowed 10 requests per day and then it starts costing a few cents per request from there. I might want to look into a way to cache these results and start hoarding some data to prevent unknown costs from popping up here

So CarMD doesn't actually seem to give any of the info I'm looking for here. Most of the recommended "maintenance" activities are just a visual inspection of various parts. No part number info on any of them, including oil changes.

Doesn't look like it's possible to do both from the same site. Looking at autozone for the filters and mobil for the oil.

Autozone:

curl -H "user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:85.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/85.0" https://www.autozone.com/ecomm/b2c/v1/ymme/models/2015/Chevrolet/9015009

Mobil:

{
    "parameters": {
        "year": "2021",
        "manufacture": "46",
        "mileage_over_75k": "0",
        "model": "27662",
        "engine": "14779",
        "sub_zero_required": "0",
        "lob": "b2c"
    },
    "callType": "GetRecommendations",
    "isVendorPage": "false",
    "provider": "WMI"
}

Headed to https://www.mobil.com/api/Sitecore/ProductSelector/WmiServices\?sc_lang\=en-US

Fields: "Year", "Make", "Model", "Engine Type", "Over 75,000 mi"
Query: http://www.mobil.com/en/lubricants/what-to-buy/find-the-right-motor-oil/product-recommendations?query=api/v1/en-us/wmi/recommendations/QUERY_STRING"
where QUERY_STRING is formatted as:
2015/47/21517/4749/0/0
or 
YEAR/MAKE/MODEL/ENGINE/unknown/75k?

Step 1: Use these fields for #371 Step 2: Save both sets of underlying model numbers for mobil and autozone Step 3: Query the APIs to get the oil and oil filter info. Determine where to put this Step 4: Figure out how to display this: put it in the notes automatically?

baylessj commented 3 years ago

At the very least, I need to put a field in todos matching the name "oil" or "oil change" or similar to let the user set the oil type and filter type needed

Or maybe make this a more modular thing where any task can have a list of strings as a "parts needed" field?
