Treksum

Treksum provides access to the transcripts for all episodes of the following TV series:

• Star Trek
• Star Trek: The Next Generation
• Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
• Star Trek: Voyager
• Star Trek: Enterprise

What's Included

There are currently two utilities contained in this repository:

• treksum-scraper: scrapes Star Trek transcripts and shoves everything into a PostgreSQL database.
• treksum-api: a simple API to serve up random quotes from a PostgreSQL database. This utility is useless without first having used treksum-scraper to populate the PostgreSQL database.

Usage

The following environment variables are used to configure both utilities:

• TREKSUM_DBHOST: IP address for PostgreSQL service. Default: localhost
• TREKSUM_DBPORT: Port on which PostgreSQL is listening. Default: 5432
• TREKSUM_DBNAME: Name of PostgreSQL database where transcripts reside. Default: treksum
• TREKSUM_DBUSER: PostgreSQL username. Default: treksum
• TREKSUM_DBPASSWORD: PostgreSQL password. No default.

The following environment variable is used only for treksum-api:

• TREKSUM_APIADDR: interface and port to bind when serving requests. Default: :1323

With the appropriate environment variables set, simply invoke the desired command.
