Bulk posting to Qiita: Team using Qiita API

Motivation

The group I belong to suddenly decided to introduce Qiita: team, "I want to move the Tip and know-how files that were originally shared in text to the Qiita Team." And that. .. .. I decided to try it first.

→ "You can always see the text via the web" → "Tag and manage easily" → "You can skip mentions within the team and have them read." I came up with something that looks good. .. .. I implemented batch posting with Qiita API.

The stumbled part

I started implementing it with a light feeling, but I ran into some problems.

1. Bug with duplicate array of "tags"
2. Unified text file encoding to utf-8
3. Add tags for each directory

1. Array of'tags'

According to the Qiita API (http://qiita.com/docs/api#14) You can put name and version in the input tags.

before.json

{
    "title": "test",
    "body": "This is a test posting.",
    "tags": {
        "name": "tips"
    },
    "team_url_name": "ourteam"
}

I used to feel that. .. ..

after.json

{
    "title": "test",
    "body": "This is a test posting.",
    "tags": [
        {
            "name": "tips"
        }
    ],
    "team_url_name": "ourteam"
}

I was able to do this. This is a rudimentary mistake.

2. Unified text file encoding to utf-8

Even if I try to convert shift-jis to utf-8 on Mac, I noticed that there are several text files that cannot be read for some reason. When I open it with cotEditor. .. .. Windows DOS?

When I looked it up, it seemed to be the character code cp932. In the code implemented in Python, it seemed to be recognized separately from shift-jis.

3. Add tags for each directory

When posting a text file in any directory I decided to put that directory name in the tag. However, I don't know how to get a character string efficiently.

file_name, ext = os.path.splitext(file)
tag_line = files[len(path)+1:]
tag_list = tag_line.split('/')

Separate the file name and extension Cut the character string below path with'/' While implementing, "Oh, I wonder if there is a smarter way." I was coding with that in mind. (For the time being, I was able to get the character string as a tag as an array without any problem by this method.)

After mounting

If you think about it carefully, you can only edit the account you posted, so Later, I manually changed it to "co-editing", Tohoho.

When I contacted Mr. Qiita about this matter, It seems that it is supported by Qiita API v2 under development. I'm looking forward to it.
