BBC iPlayer available programmes (Nitro)


Nitro9

A tool to index available programmes on the BBC iPlayer / radio-player for offline analysis.

This is a scraper that runs on Morph. Please read the Morph.io documentation.

It can also be run locally.

Set an environment variable called MORPH_API_KEY to your Nitro API key. When initially run on an empty / non-existant database, a full scrape of available programmes is performed. Subsequently, only those programmes broadcast since the last update will be added. Programmes passed their expiry date are removed.

To build a full index again, either delete the database or set the environment variable MORPH_REBUILD to true.

Usage: node scraper.js

Output is an sqlite3 database containing one table, "data":

javascript var fields = [ '#index', 'type', 'name', 'pid', 'available', 'expires', 'episode', 'seriesnum', 'episodenum', 'versions', 'duration', 'desc', 'channel', 'categories', 'thumbnail', 'timeadded', 'guidance', 'web', 'vpids' ];

Also included is a simple command line utility called query.js for performing SQL queries against the remote Morph.io database and returning the rows in JSON format.

Usage: node query {SQL-statement}
