1. Python 3.5+

1. fill out variables in the settings.json file
2. add a csv to parse in the input folder /input
3. excute script python main.py | ./main.py etc.

In short we take the value from the base_url and append all the values in the csv file. Templated data can also be appended by using the template_name field

csv values are defined by their header name (first row of the file)

settings.json should contain these variables:

{
  "input_folder":"input", // folder where the input file lives (relative path)
  "templates_folder":"templates", //folder where default templates live
  "input_file": "input.csv", // csv file to parse
  "output_file": "output.txt", // where to post output 
  "csv_deliminator": ",", // what to delimatine csv on 
  "base_url": "" // base url for all links created (if not found in input_file)

}

input_file The file as described variable of settings.json

base_url,android_passive_deepview,og:imagename,platform,~campaign
company.app.link/30?,TRUE,helloworld.png,facebook cross platform,test_campaign

base_url and ~campaign must be included in either settings.json or the input_file. template_name is optional. It should be included in either input_file as a column header. The current values are the name of the files in templates. the template name column can be null. Below are examples of valid csv files:

Example of csv with template filled out along with all required params:

base_url,template_name,~campaign
company.app.link,facebook_app_only,Facebook

Example of csv with optional template_name intentionally left blank

base_url,template_name,og:name,~campaign
company.app.link,,testing_links,myspace

current valid template names

1. facebook_app_only
2. facebook_cross_platform
3. google_cross_platform

The value in the settings file and input_file will take priority over template values

input

base_url,android_passive_deepview,og:imagename,platofrm,~campaign,template_name
company.app.link/3p?,TRUE,helloworld.png,facebook cross plat,{campgaignname},

output (located in output/output.csv)

soul.app.link/30?base_url=company.app.link%2F3p%3F&android_passive_deepview=TRUE&og:imagename=helloworld.png&platofrm=facebook+cross+plat&campaign={campgaignname}
