You need a client_id, but if you don't already have one you might be shit out of luck because 'register a new app' now presents you with a Google Form and the message ***Please allow up to a month to receive an update on the outcome of your application*** ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

gem install httparty
gem install soundcloud

Fill in the client_id and your username, then run it. It will only download tracks that you've already marked as downloadable because who has time to mess with Oauth?

I have a presentation built in Reveal.js but I was asked to provide my slides as screengrabs, so I came up with this. It's hacky as fuck, but it solves the problem in a repeatable way. (Note: this works on my computer, your mileage will almost certainly vary)

This presumes that your presentation lives at presentation/index.html (relative to where you're running all of this from) and is available at http://localhost:4000/presentation/ (i.e. via Jekyll). Then, from (possibly flaky) memory:

• brew install selenium-server-standalone
• brew install chromedriver
• npm install nightwatch

Copy the Rakefile (or copy the contents of my one into your existing Rakefile), copy the *js files into _nightwatch/, then run

• rake screenshots
