Usage of ./go-mobilizon-bot:
      --actor string          The Mobilizon actor ID to use as the event organizer.
      --authconfig string     Use this file for authorization tokens. (default "/home/mark/.config/mobilizon/auth.json")

      --date string           The concertcloud API param 'date'

      --noop                  Gather all required information and report on it, but do not create events in Mobilizòn.
      --page string           The concertcloud API param 'page'
      --radius string         The concertcloud API param 'radius'
      --register              Register this bot and quit. A client id will be output.
      --timezone string       The timezone to use for the event attribution. (default "Europe/Zurich")

Setup

Once you've built the bot you'll need to register it.

./go/bin/go-mobilizon-bot --mobilizonurl <your-mobilizon-instance> --register

This will output a line which you can run in bash or zsh to set up your environment for the next step: authorization.

export GRAPHQL_CLIENT_ID=<your-id>

./go/bin/go-mobilizon-bot --mobilizonurl <your-mobilizon-instance> --authorize

Unless there is an HTTP error this should result in the device code handshake, which should be familiar to anybody who has set up a streaming service on a "smart" TV:

Please visit this URL and enter the code below https://mobilisons.ch/login/device

XXXX-XXXX

Then press any key to continue.

You can check the results on the bot server at

~/.config/mobilizon/auth.json

and on your Mobilizon instance at the path:

/settings/authorized-apps

Examples

First, you'll need to obtain the actorid and groupid you want to post as. So far the best way to do this is using your browser's developer tools, and grabbing the values from a GraphQL query.

See #8

Then, if your goal is to upload events from ConcertCloud you just need a city name, and a download limit, unless you are ready for the whole events list

./go/bin/go-mobilizon-bot --city=Lausanne --actor=<actorid> --group=<groupid> --limit=1024

Or a country name:

/go-mobilizon-bot --country=Switzerland --actor=<actorid> --group=<groupid> --limit=2000

Or if you prefer generate a local goskyr config and upload from the resulting events json you can something like this:

./go-mobilizon-bot --file goskyr-config/json/polesud.json --actor=<actorid> --group=<groupid>

There are systemd unit files in the /examples directory which should help you set up your mobilizon upload job.
