etherdump

Tool to publish etherpad pages to files.

Requirements

* python3
* html5lib
* requests (settext)
* python-dateutil, jinja2 (index subcommand)

Installation

pip install python-dateutil jinja2 html5lib
python setup.py install

Example

mkdir mydump
cd myddump
etherdump init

The program then interactively asks some questions:

Please type the URL of the etherpad: 
	http://automatist.local:9001/
The APIKEY is the contents of the file APIKEY.txt in the etherpad folder
Please paste the APIKEY: 
	xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The settings are placed in a file called .etherdump/settings.json and are used (by default) by future commands.

subcommands

• init
• pull
• list
• listauthors
• gettext
• settext
• gethtml
• creatediffhtml
• revisionscount
• index
• deletepad

To get help on a subcommand:
