Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

ArtProject Scraper

Get random art and metadata from Google Art Project.

Important:
This is experimental and extremely dependable on current layout of Google Art Project website. Don't use it for anything important since it can be broken in future.

Why

I wasn't able to find a simple API that returns painting and some meta data, but I found Google Art Project that has exactly what I want, except there was no API.

Usage

  
var scraper = require('artproject-scraper')

scraper(function(err, randomArt) {
  if (!err)
    console.log(randomArt)

    // Output:
    //
    // { 
    //   image: 'http://lh4.ggpht.com/cLJpANVeHxbEdjmRMUu7E0YBYdbGoRVd87igKPdXbgvKt69qWoWg_7-6GE9U=s1200',
    //   title: 'Portrait of Nini Lopez',
    //   link: 'https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/browse/Portrait%20of%20Nini%20Lopez',
    //   description: 'Nini Lopez first appeared in the work of Auguste Renoir (1841–1919) in La Loge (The Theatre Box), painted in 1874. The young woman from Montmartre, cruelly nicknamed Nini-Gueule-de-Raie, or "fish face", is shown alongside the artist\'s brother. Although the artwork was immediately purchased by the art dealer "le Père Martin", Renoir, like many of his Impressionist friends, was experiencing serious financial difficulty at the time.
