So, everything else works... to preface this. But, I haven't really moved outside the admin interface. I'm trying to get data from an API and insert it into the database if there's changes. I've managed to write a script that can do that (in theory... it can do it locally), but I can't get the app in the cloud to recognize its existence. I've followed Google's suggestion of adding it to the app.yaml and cron.yaml to no avail.
Do I need to add this to a urls.py? I haven't mucked with teh handlers at all thus far and I'm not sure what settings.py makes happen, what the yaml files make happen, and how much of this is pixie dust.
here are teh relevant files... app.yaml
runtime: python
env: flex
entrypoint: gunicorn -b :$PORT mysite.wsgi
threadsafe: yes
beta_settings:
cloud_sql_instances: [redacted]
runtime_config:
python_version: 3
health_check:
enable_health_check: False
handlers:
- url: /static
static_dir: static/
- url: /run/get_data/
script: JSONdownload.app
login: admin
- url: .*
script: mysite.wsgi.application
cron.yaml
cron:
- description: "get data"
url: /run/get_data/
schedule: every 5 minutes
JSONdownload.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
# /var/spool/cron/crontabs
import json
import urllib2
from django.http import HttpResponse
from google.appengine.ext import webapp
from google.appengine.ext.webapp.util import run_wsgi_app
from .models import Game
from .models import Team
class JSONdownloadHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
self.response.write('cron')
class MainHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
self.response.write('yay')
I'm finding great resources for a basic python app... but none for this situation really... anyone know of something better than what I'm doing, PLEASE let me know!
