Usage

Authentication

When first starting the app, it will need to authenticate you in a browser session in order to initialize. In order to do this, chromium will be opened with the help of puppeteer and you will be taken to the service host's login page. After logging in, the browser will close and a headless version of chromium will be restarted to continue the session and complete initialization.

Reading Feed Data

After the feed is initialized, you will be able to request JSON formatted data from the feed at its address. To see this in action:

• Open your browser and go url http://localhost:3000 (or whichever address you have the app running).
• You will see a JSON-formatted response with relevant data.

This format is structured in a way interpretable by the Master List apps. But you could also use this feed for other purposes if you wanted.
