Kidsnote backup photo extraction

I found the original script here https://gist.github.com/Leuconoe/21f6a07f50389c4de1ec127944af7008

I'm adding info to be able to easier use it.

Installation

pipenv install

How to use:

Copy the env-sample file to .env
Put in your username and password
Put in the path where you want the pictures stored, it will create a YYYY/MM/DD structure there
Run pipenv run ./get_report.py to get the report, it stores it in a file report.json
Run pipenv run ./report_json_down.py to download all the reports and pictures

Run automatically with a systemd timer

This will run the script every day at midnight or once you wake up your computer:

cp systemd/kidsnote.service ~/.config/systemd/user/
cp systemd/kidsnote.timer ~/.config/systemd/user/
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now kidsnote.timer

It assumes you already set up the .env file.

Why username and password?

In the old script you had to get the report manually from the browser. I added get_report.py which logs in with a headless chromium browser, gets the report for you so it's possible to automate it with cron.
