This example shows a crontab-ready Python script that automatically updates a domain’s IP address with the AutoDNS/InternetX gateway. It retrieves the current public IP from `http://whatismyip.akamai.com/`, compares it to the stored last IP, and exits if unchanged. Using the `requests` library for HTTP calls and `click` for CLI options, it constructs and sends XML requests via the `xml.dom.minidom` module to fetch the zone state and apply the new IP. Logging via the `logging` module tracks progress and errors.

A vanilla py-script to download all Pocket.com data via API.

This example demonstrates how to download a complete archive of all Pocket.com saved articles using the Pocket API. It shows the OAuth authentication flow, which opens a browser for user approval, then retrieves every article in batches of ten, displaying each article’s title and URL as it processes them. The script uses Python’s `requests` library to make HTTP POST calls to the Pocket API endpoints, along with the `json` module to parse responses and `subprocess` to trigger browser opening. It saves the full article list as a JSON file.

This example demonstrates a small automated data-update workflow that refreshes a dataset by running a Python script. It shows how environment variables supply credentials and user identification, which are then passed to an asynchronous update function. The code uses Python’s `asyncio` library to manage the asynchronous task, while `os.environ` retrieves the required secrets from the system environment. The visualization itself is not rendered here; instead, the example focuses on the programmatic data-fetching and update logic, with the actual charting or rendering handled separately by an unspecified front-end tool.

Script for updating a database of the Citibike JSON feed

This example demonstrates a script that keeps a Citibike station and bike database current by parsing the live Citibike JSON feed. It shows how to update PostgreSQL records through Django models, capturing the feed’s execution time as separate date and time fields. The code uses the `requests` library to fetch the JSON, `datetime` to reformat timestamps, and Django’s `get_or_create` to add or retrieve station and bike entries. It also handles station ID changes by matching on station names, ensuring consistent data linkage across updates.

Browser Auto Refresh Script - Ruby Watcher

This example shows a Ruby script that monitors a project folder for file changes and automatically refreshes matching browser tabs. It watches specified file types like CSS, HTML, and JavaScript using `Dir.glob` to collect files and compares their modification times with `File.stat().mtime`. When a change is detected, it executes an AppleScript via `osascript` to reload tabs in Google Chrome whose URLs contain a keyword. The script runs an infinite loop with a one-second sleep, and also includes commented-out AppleScript support for Safari and Firefox.

This example demonstrates a command-line weather forecast script that outputs tomorrow’s predicted condition, high, and low temperatures for a fixed location. It first retrieves the location name and forecast data from the Yahoo Weather API, then prints the relevant details. The code uses Python’s `json` and `urllib2` modules to fetch and parse the JSON response, with the WOEID hardcoded for Newcastle. No graphical visualization is involved; the script simply prints text results to the console.

Automation with AWS Lambda

This example shows how to automate data scraping and publishing to an S3 bucket using AWS Lambda. The Python handler function calls a scraper, processes the returned data, and uploads it as a JSON file to a specified S3 path with public-read access. It uses the `boto3` library for S3 interactions, `json` for serialization, and `os` for path handling. The setup also demonstrates local testing via `service.py` and deployment through the Python-lambda tool, with CloudWatch Events scheduling for recurring triggers.

This example shows an automated Fantasy Premier League (FPL) team-update check that triggers an email-based update when the next gameweek deadline is within 24 hours. The code uses `aiohttp` to asynchronously fetch gameweek data from the FPL API via the `fpl` library, then `pandas` filters deadlines against the current timestamp. If a deadline is imminent, it reads environment variables for credentials and calls the `update` function from `update_team.py` to perform the actual roster changes. The visualization highlights the asynchronous request flow and conditional logic, with no graphical rendering involved.

Example Python code and XML-file for editing metadata in ArcGIS Online

This example shows how to programmatically update an item’s metadata in ArcGIS Online by uploading a local XML file. It uses the ArcGIS REST API’s `generateToken` endpoint for authentication and the `update` endpoint to overwrite metadata. The Python script relies on the `requests` library to send a POST request with the XML file as multipart form data. The token request sends credentials and a referer URL, returning a JSON response with the token. The script then uses that token to call the update operation, with the metadata file attached under the `metadata` parameter. The approach directly demonstrates API‑driven metadata editing without a web interface.
