Setting up donations in bulk by uploading a CSV

Changaco commented 6 years ago

From https://twitter.com/thetrueenetheru/status/953850144897744896:

how hard would it be to allow us to upload a csv of people to donate to and how much.. i want to export my list of installed packages to the platform to give back... it could add donations or pledges etc. sort of a quick manage for all my intended recipients...

then i could create a script that exports info from my package manager each month and pushes it to librepay somehow.. to track my real world usage of open source.

We have an undocumented JSON endpoint for adding/modifying donations in bulk, https://github.com/liberapay/liberapay.com/blob/259/www/%25username/tips.json.spt (https://liberapay.com/about/me/tips.json).

hola, i tried this: curl -u 11008 -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"username":"davidrevoy","amount":5, "period":"monthly" }' https://liberapay.com/about/me/tips.json

and I didn't manage to change an existing tip for davidrevoy, then i did it too many times.. lol.. what would be the correct post command for an invidual pledge, then i can extrapolate to multiple pledges at a time.

Also I had a big long streaming session with my mate regarding how we might implement our side of things and what we need from librepay. if you were inclined to waste time watching low signal to noise ratio videos of people talking shit: https://youtu.be/bmCegptzP3E?t=26m14s

Due to login requirements for the POST, i need to easily be able to get my librapay ID from the identity page, profile page, or be able to login using my username. atm i'm searching the source of the html to get the p_id
To distribute a set amount of funds between active users, i need to be able to test whether the account information i provide like a twitter, github, email, etc from "other accounts" is linked to an active librepay account. i assume i can use https://github.com/liberapay/liberapay.com/blob/master/www/search.spt to find this, i'm not familar with web dev enough, but my mate is helping me.

i hope to have something to show soon( soon = within a week or two )
