backup-rescuetime.py

#!/usr/bin/python3
# backup-rescuetime.py: Backup all of last month's rescuetime data
#
# Columns are Date,Time Spent (seconds),Number of People,Activity,Category,Productivity
# Rows are hourly breakdowns of the activities done
#
# Must have directory called 'rescuetime_data' in same directory as script
#
# Sample crontab entry to backup at 6AM on the 1st of every month:
# 0 6 1 * * python3 ~/rescuetime/backup-rescuetime.py
#
# You must also create an API key to use the script.
# Scroll to the bottom of https://www.rescuetime.com/anapi/manage
# Make the key in the form and copy it into the string below

api_key = 'YOUR_KEY_GOES_HERE'


# determine the strings for getting last month's data
import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.now()

if now.month == 1:
    get_m = 12
    get_y = now.year-1
else:
    get_m = now.month-1
    get_y = now.year

start_time = '{:04}-{:02}-{:02}'.format(get_y, get_m, 1)
end_time = '{:04}-{:02}-{:02}'.format(now.year, now.month, 1)


# get the data
from urllib.request import urlopen
body=[
'key={}'.format(api_key),
'by=interval',
'i=minute',
'restrict_begin={}'.format(start_time),
'restrict_end={}'.format(end_time),
'format=csv'
]
response = urlopen('https://www.rescuetime.com/anapi/data?{}'.format('&'.join(body)))


# write it to a file
with open('rescuetime_data/data-{}.csv'.format(start_time), 'w+b') as f:
    for i, line in enumerate(response.readlines()):
        f.write(line)
