Etsy Store Sync

This is a Ruby program I made in order to sync a customers Etsy store with a seperate static website.

The code is currently designed for my specific use case, but if you have any need for similar functionality, drop me a line and I will make it alittle more modular.

Current Workflow

• Customer adds new products to their Etsy shop/store.
• Program is ran.
• Uses Etsy API to ask for item data.
• Generates markdown files of any new items.
• Saves the files to the development repo

Instructions - for me :)

• git pull in "development" static generator folder (sync with master)
• git pull in "public" static generator folder (sync with master)
• run rake sync
• run rake import new for first 25 synced
• If there are any changes in the development repo, then compile to production repo and commit changes in both.
• git push in "development"
• git push in "public/production"

TODO

• Automate the process of compiling to production and push the changes. One command bliss.
• Allow for more generic use cases.
• Rather then generating mardown, have it generate JSON or sanitize/format the incoming JSON from Etsy API to cut out acouple steps.
