draft of simple endpoint to scrape sacredtradition.am for today's readings #75

Closed andylitalo closed 3 weeks ago

andylitalo commented 3 weeks ago

Assuming sacredtradition.am doesn't change their webpage, we can scrape the daily readings. Here, we add an endpoint to get today's daily readings in a JSON.

Still a draft designed to get us thinking about how we might display or use the readings in the frontend.

Testing Run locally and curl endpoint /hub/readings/, e.g.,

curl http://localhost:8000/hub/readings/

This is great, @andylitalo! It's been on my mind to do something like this. I changed the method to a generic API class, and made it possible to query a specific date if desired. Also, I included caching so that the app doesn't have to re-scrape the website when re-querying a date multiple times.
