Step 6: Edit .env File

[!NOTE]

• You do not need both TMDB_APIKEY and TVDB_APIKEY to run this, only one is required at minimum.
• You do not need to tweak/add DUMMY_QUERY unless that doesn't work for you.
• Both PLEX_TOKEN and PLEX_API is also optional, but highly recommended for guid in the output.

Step 7: Configuration

You can copy config/default.yaml.example as config/default.yaml to use custom settings. Read here for more regarding configuration files.

Settings:

• preferMetadata
  • Possible values: tmdb, tvdb
  • Type: string
• preferMedia
  • Possible values: tv, movie
  • Type: string
• copyResults
  • Possible values: true, false
  • Type: boolean
• saveResults
  • Possible values: true, false
  • Type: boolean
• dualOutput (requires saveResults being true in prompt)
  • Possible values: true, false
  • Type: boolean
• inputFilePath
  • A valid path to a TXT input file, see the README example.
  • Type: string
• outputFilePath
  • A valid path for the output YAML files, see the README example.
  • Type: string

Default config:

userConfig:
  preferMetadata: "tmdb"
  preferMedia: "tv"
  copyResults: true
  saveResults: false
  dualOutput: true
  inputFilePath: "batch/input.txt"
  outputFilePath: "batch/output/"

Examples:

Changing metadata agent

This is useful if you for example only want to use TVDB, and maybe always save results to a file as well, then you can change

userConfig:
  preferMetadata: "tvdb"
  saveResults: true

Changing output paths

This is useful if you for example you want the processed files to be output to a folder on your Desktop

userConfig:
  inputFilePath: "C:/Users/USER/Desktop/Scraper/input.txt"
  outputFilePath: "C:/Users/USER/Desktop/Scraper/"

Step 8: Run the Assistant

You can now run the mapping assistant using the following command:

npm run assistant

Auto-scraping (Optional)

If you would prefer to input a large number of IDs, and have the program output a file for you, you can do it using this script.

Make sure that you fill batch\input.txt with a newline-seperated list of IDs.

npm run auto

Debugging (Optional)

If you need to debug and test towards API directly, you can use the following command:

npm run debug

Testing (Optional)

To run tests to make sure the API is spitting out the correct information, use the following command:

npm test

Scripts

• assistant: Runs the assistant script
• debug: Runs the debug script to see raw outputs of APIs
