Do you know Woob ? https://woob.tech/


So they finally gave in to the complaints about the name (https://lists.symlink.me/pipermail/weboob/2021-February/0016...). woob is excellent but unfortunately its very existence means there is a problem. Hopefully they will gain visibility and problematic services will adopt standard protocols


This is very wishful. What is the incentive to enabling content access which bypasses their business (i.e. ad impressions)?


This is nice, and feature rich. Its available in Homebrew, where I was able to try it out (if I ran Nix I'd been able to use nix-shell for such). However, its France and French oriented. Not the world-wide interface I expected it to be. Bands for example, only contains a metal database. Recipes, 5 out of 6 entries is French. Travel, I don't see German or Dutch or UK or Belgian public transport.


I can't speak for Germany/Belgium/NL but we have actual APIs for public transportation in the UK (trains/tube at least, not so sure about buses).


Ahah looking at the logos triggered my frenchness, this things is from the motherland.


Holy s*t this is amazing! A set of web-scraper automations!


Looks excellent.

"pip3 install woob" succeeds but e.g. "woob config-qt" returns "not a woob command". Are the -qt versions not available via pip? I have python3-pyqt5 installed.


Qt applications are maintained and packaged separately:

pip install woob-qt

Thanks, I'll suggest they add that to https://woob.tech/install


Wow that is really cool!


Thanks! This looks really cool
