MostActiveCookie

MostActiveCookie is a command line program in Python to process the log file and return the most active cookie for specified day. This was a project proceeded for Quantcast.

In order to run this program, you will need a csv file with cookie and timestamp inside. The example for csv will be like following:

Cookie,Timestamp
AtY0laUfhglK3lC7,2018-12-09T14:21:00+00:00
AtY0laUfhglK3l67,2018-12-09T14:20:00+00:00

You would need Python with version at least 3.8 and csv file that includes appropriate cookie and timestamp with header.

Quick Start

Scenario: Extract Most Active Cookie in 2018-12-09.

You can either use pip install, or just clone repository itself.

Use pip install

> pip install most-active-cookie
> python3 -m most_active_cookie your_cookie_file.csv --date 2018-12-09
> AtY0laUfhglK3lC7
> AtY0laUfhglK3l67

Clone repository

> git clone https://github.com/yongchand/MostActiveCookie.git && cd MostActiveCookie
> python3 -m most_active_cookie your_cookie_file.csv --date 2018-12-09
> AtY0laUfhglK3lC7
> AtY0laUfhglK3l67

Testing

Test can be performed using pytest

> pytest -v 
> cd tests/jobs #only when previous command does not work
> python3 -m pytest #only when previous command does not work

Future Works

• Add support to other file formats
• Add alert for cookie input
• Consider adding logging
