how to - mini script: auto buy streak freeze

[TiloGit]

here mini script to check few times a day (see crontab schedule) and try to buy streak freeze. For your off-line vacation :-)

Not tried for multiply languages (if you learn more than one) was a quick hack, please feel free to adapt or add to wiki here. I run it on my Pi which has kodi via osmc installed.

#######Start of script
##redir in cron job 
## 0 2,8,14,20 * * * python /home/osmc/MyScript/DuolingoVacation.py >> /home/osmc/MyScript/log/DuoVac_$(date +\%Y\%m\%d).log

import logging
import sys
import duolingo

ScriptName = 'Duolingo Vacation'
USER='MyUserName here'

logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(message)s',level=logging.INFO,stream=sys.stdout)
logging.info('=========Start Script: ' + (ScriptName))

#######Login/pick user. 
#lingo = duolingo.Duolingo(USER)
lingo  = duolingo.Duolingo(USER, password='My password here')
logging.info('Logon as: ' + (USER))


#######Simple stuff Lang
Mylanguages = lingo.get_languages(abbreviations=False)
logging.info('Languages: ' + str(Mylanguages))


#######Simple stuff Get streak info
streak_info = lingo.get_streak_info()
logging.info('streak_info: ' + str(streak_info))

#######Buy Freeze
BuyStreak = lingo.buy_streak_freeze()
logging.info('streak_buy: ' + str(BuyStreak))


logging.info('=========End Script: ' + (ScriptName))

Example log output of the above code.

• Didn't reach daily goal on day before so it bought at 2am during first run of the next day
• At lunch was reaching my daily goal for the day ('streak_extended_today': True)

Nice! I was about doing a similar thing.
