Commands

ambient backfill writes all data from 2020-01-01 to the end of the last
UTC day into YYYY-MM-DD.json.gz files in the present working directory (one
file per day)

ambient today overwrites .json.gz with all data since 00:00 UTC

ambient yesterday overwrites .json.gz with all data between
00:00 UTC yesterday and 23:59 UTC yesterday.

backfill does not overwrite files. You must manually delete them if
you want fresh copies for some reason. today and yesterday overwrite.
Shell completion
You can optionally enable shell completion by running the appropriate command
for your shell:
eval "$(_AMBIENT_COMPLETE=bash_source ambient)" >> ~/.bashrc # bash
eval "$(_AMBIENT_COMPLETE=zsh_source ambient)" >> ~/.zshrc # zsh
_AMBIENT_COMPLETE=fish_source foo-bar > ~/.config/fish/completions/ambient.fish # fish

Automation with Github Actions

Create a new repository, run ambient backfill then check everything in

Add these files in .github/workflows/

git config --global user.name "scraper-bot"
git config user.email "actions@users.noreply.github.com"
git add -A

git commit -m "Downloaded at at ${timestamp}" || exit 0
git push

The daily workflow deals with the fact that the more regular job does not
in practice run every five minutes. It ensures the completed file for that
day has the last few records for the day.

Push to GitHub

Configure AMBIENT_MAC, AMBIENT_API_KEY and AMBIENT_APPLICATION_KEY as
Secrets in the GitHub settings for that repository
