Auto-download CCV XML file #9

Open kousu opened 2 years ago

kousu commented 2 years ago

In https://github.com/jcohenadad/bibeasy/pull/9 I improved the Google Sheet downloader to automatically cache its results. It would be cool if we could add a downloader for the CCV side that also cached its result. Currently we just have https://github.com/jcohenadad/bibeasy/blob/d2700b0/CCV-98720.xml uploaded to the repo, instead, which means syncing it with https://ccv-cvc.ca/ is a manual process.

This might harder, because I suspect the CCV side demands credentials. Is that true?

Not only that but the CCV side uses captcha for both uploads and downloads.

Edit: theoretically we could run scripts over top of their web interface, that seems pretty captcha-free. I might be missing something though.
