Rework database read/write functions using the Secrets feature in Github #15

Open russellprimeau opened 10 months ago

Password information for reading and writing to a database in the Scraper.py script and elsewhere is currently obscured (removed) from the script to prevent distribution online. Github has a feature for dealing with information like passwords called Secrets, which allows code to call that data securely without displaying it publicly.

Comment: this can probably await the transition to a more permanent DB-based storage system, when passwords will change. But it would also be essential for the proposed user account features mentioned in issues #9, #13 .
