Script to download copy sheet from Google Docs

[benlk]

As part of #1:

• [ ] thing to download list of dates of things

This will fetch the spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Gx3KrCzldP7uYOi3lp6aZSkIZ80C_oZKsaj2CeKSBUM/edit#gid=1275143625 from Google and save it locally.

fab update_copy grabs the latest copy of the spreadsheet: https://github.com/nprapps/dailygraphics/blob/dc5ba2bf0e2230e27b67c85c320ddc984f01df21/fabfile/__init__.py#L159-L176

That uses download_copy: https://github.com/nprapps/dailygraphics/blob/dc5ba2bf0e2230e27b67c85c320ddc984f01df21/fabfile/__init__.py#L139-L156

That uses some stuff imported from oauth: https://github.com/nprapps/dailygraphics/blob/dc5ba2bf0e2230e27b67c85c320ddc984f01df21/fabfile/__init__.py#L13

Which is all defined in oauth.py, https://github.com/nprapps/dailygraphics/blob/dc5ba2bf0e2230e27b67c85c320ddc984f01df21/oauth.py

• [ ] import all the bits necessary to make fab work for downloading the spreadsheet

if the sheet is published to csv and get that URL, you can do something like curl https://google.com/sheet/ID.csv | in2csv It requires the sheet to be publically viewable technically, but unless its really sensitive info, it shouldn't matter

And I don't think that it matters; the sheet powering this can be publicly visible.

Alternately, use gdrive as described in https://github.com/The-Politico/gspan to pull in the file.

Closing this because it can live all as CSVs on github
