gspan

What is this?

Gspan is a CLI that downloads an anno-docs-formatted Google Doc and translates it into JSON.

Quickstart

Gspan depends on gdrive to handle downloading files from Google Drive. Install it with homebrew and authenticate your account:

$ brew install gdrive
$ gdrive list

Then, install gspan as a Python module.

$ pip install gspan

Then, you can use gspan as a command in your shell. To get JSON:

$ gspan parse <Google Doc ID> > output.json

As a principle, gspan pipes all of its output to stdout, much like csvkit and elex.

You can also download the raw Google Doc HTML and pipe that to a file:

$ gspan download <Google Doc ID> > download.html
