This collector forms part of the Data Insight Platform. It collects visits and visitors for DirectGov and BusinessLink from a Google Drive spreadsheet and broadcasts the results as messages.
The routing keys this collector broadcasts on are:
googledrive.visits.weekly
googledrive.visitors.weekly
The message is JSON and follows the following strcuture.
{
"envelope":{
"collected_at":"2012-07-31T10:46:25+01:00",
"collector":"nongovuk_reach"
},
"payload":{
"value": 12345,
"site": "directgov",
"start_at": "2012-04-01T00:00:00+00:00",
"end_at": "2012-04-07T00:00:00+00:00",
}
}
Bundler manages the ruby dependencies so you'll want a quick:
bundle install
If you're using the broadcast command you'll need a message queue listening. This defaults to listening on localhost on 5672 but can be overridden with the AMQP environment variable.
The first run requires the Oauth token from Google for the given application. Once you have that you can run:
bundle exec bin/collector --token={auth token from Google} --metric={visits|visitors} --site={directgov|businesslink} print
