[google-appengine] How to run this Python Script

[Terry Smith]

Hi there,

Just looking for a small bit of help in setting up the code in the link 
below.

http://shanelynn.ie/index.php/scrapi...-using-python/

I want to scrape the Dublin bike data for a number of docking stations and 
monitor how the system is being used. 


Would anyone be able to give me a quick setup guide on how I could get this 
setup to scrape data using google app engine or indeed if this is possible?


Thanks

It looks like the script you linked to has the option to write to CSV or a
SQLite DB. You can reuse most of the script, but you'll have to edit the
parts that record data. If you want to go the CSV route, you'll have to
write to Google Cloud Storage. You can see example code here:
https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/googlecloudstorageclient/getstarted

If you want to store the data into a SQL DB, you'll need to edit the script
to use Cloud SQL. Here's example code:
