python script to interact with the mindd API

Mindd get

A simple python script to interact with the moetiknaardedokter.nl API, and save the result in json or csv format.

Usage

users need to provide their own auth key, and give it to the script with the --api-key flag. By default the script will pull all the available data to a json file. But this can be altered to csv with the --convert_to_csv flag. The start and end date are also setable and use a DD/MM/YYYY layout.

Output of the --help flag:

$python3 mindd_get.py --help

usage: mindd_get.py [-h] --api_key API_KEY [--start_date START_DATE]
                    [--end_date END_DATE] [--output_file OUTPUT_FILE]
