Introduction:

This is used to open an SQLite database that's installed on your computer to create a Fathead output
that's specified in http://docs.duckduckhack.com/resources/fathead-overview.html

See: https://forum.duckduckhack.com/t/improve-apple-os-x-macos-documentation/240

Page Structure:

There is no page structure here because we're essentially scraping a database. The only requirement is that you have XCode.

Pipeline:

Read DB -> Scrape / Process -> Output

How do I test this?

You'll need to have XCode installed on your computer. It comes bundled with the documentation that we need.

@jdorweiler @zachthompson @MariagraziaAlastra This should be ready for review! Tested on duckpan:

[jdorweiler]

I get this error when I try running it.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "parse.py", line 104, in <module>
    create_fathead(ios, 'iOS')
  File "parse.py", line 54, in create_fathead
    conn = sqlite3.connect(database)
sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file

[jdorweiler]

Can you add a README?

[jagtalon]

@jdorweiler you'd need the SQLite files on your system (which is distributed by XCode https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-fathead/blob/ba829298c91c26502f276048a9567b27ff29cf72/lib/fathead/apple/parse.py#L32..L33)

[jagtalon]

@jdorweiler I meant this

zeroclickinfo-fathead/lib/fathead/apple/parse.py

Line 1 in ba82929

# Introduction:

to be the README but probably having an actual README.md is better thanks!

[jagtalon]

@jdorweiler added a readme!

[jdorweiler]

Can you change the directory name to "ios" to match the metadata ID.

[jdorweiler]

Installed on beta. Check it out and let me know what you think.

[jagtalon]

@jdorweiler Renamed the directory and added a new IA Page!

[jdorweiler]

Ok, installed on beta again. Use the trigger word appledocs so you can distinguish your data from the existing ios fathead. Just for testing. We can give it better trigger words when it's ready.
