To run the script, download a Rebol3 binary for your platform here
And then rename it to r3 for ease of use. Eg.
wget http://metaeducation.s3.amazonaws.com/travis-builds/0.4.40/r3-e9ca69d ./r3
Though the builds occur frequently and this particular one might not be available for much longer
If you're using *nix variants, then you're going have to make it executable
sudo chmod +x ./r3
And to actually run the script, eg. the one that scrapes prices for a day
./r3 flick-price-scraper.reb
and this one will save the data as csv files for the date range 1-July-2017 - 31-July-2017
If there is no data for a date, then nothing is saved for that date.
You will need to change the username and password as defined in the header lines, and the beginning and end dates here
Any questions, just leave them here.
