JÖTUNN COMPARER


ABOUT


Jötunn comparer is under construction.


Jötunn Comparer is an open-source project started by Connor and Thomas. The project was incentive for us to learn the Python programming language and how to access APIs. We used the code we developed to access player data from the game Destiny 2 using the Bungie API. The website is hosted on github which does not allow Python scripts to run like JavaScript, forcing us to make a workaround. The method we came up with was using a Raspberry Pi as a "server" that would run the Python scripts to update the player data and push the data to the github repository. The update process was automated using crontab. This project gave me opportunity to learn Python, API requests, and Debian Linux.
