# NtR SoundCloud Fetcher
Fetches SoundCloud likes from NicktheRat's profile, builds weekly playlists
aligned to the Wednesday 22:00 ET show schedule, and serves them via a JSON
API.
## Quick Start
```bash
pip install -e ".[dev]"
cp .env.example .env # edit with your settings
ntr-fetcher
```
The API starts at `http://127.0.0.1:8000`.
## Historical Backfill
Seed the database with past shows by providing an anchor episode and its air date:
```bash
NTR_ADMIN_TOKEN=token ntr-fetcher --init --show 521 --aired 2026-01-07
```
This computes every weekly show from the anchor forward to today, batch-fetches
the corresponding likes from SoundCloud, and populates the database. Episode
numbers are assigned automatically (521, 522, ...). After backfill completes,
the normal server mode will auto-increment from the latest episode.

## Configuration
All settings are read from environment variables (prefix `NTR_`). A `.env`
file in the project root is loaded automatically. See
[`.env.example`](.env.example) for a template with all available variables.
| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `NTR_PORT` | `8000` | API port |
| `NTR_HOST` | `127.0.0.1` | Bind address |
| `NTR_DB_PATH` | `./ntr_fetcher.db` | SQLite database path |
| `NTR_POLL_INTERVAL_SECONDS` | `3600` | How often to check SoundCloud (seconds) |
| `NTR_ADMIN_TOKEN` | *(required)* | Bearer token for admin endpoints |
| `NTR_SOUNDCLOUD_USER` | `nicktherat` | SoundCloud username to track |
| `NTR_SHOW_DAY` | `2` | Day of week for show (0=Mon, 2=Wed) |
| `NTR_SHOW_HOUR` | `22` | Hour (Eastern Time) when the show starts |
| `NTR_SHOW_ROTATION_DELAY_HOURS` | `0` | Hours to wait after the show boundary before rotating to the next episode (recommended `2` for live recording window) |
| `NTR_PING_TARGET` | *(empty)* | Default nick/target for the dashboard ping feature |
| `NTR_PING_MESSAGE` | *(empty)* | Default message for the dashboard ping feature |
## Public Index Page
The root URL (`/`) serves a public-facing page showing the current show's
playlist. Unannounced tracks are hidden behind silhouette cards until the
admin announces them from the dashboard. Reveals happen in real time over
WebSocket (`/ws/public`), so listeners following along see tracks appear
as they are played.
Past episodes are browsable from the same page with their full tracklists
visible.
## Dashboard
An optional web dashboard for managing tracks during live shows. Features:
- **Tabbed show interface** -- switch between the current and previous week's
playlists in one view.
- **Announce button** -- push a track to IRC via connected bot plugins. Also
reveals the track on the public index page in real time.
- **Announced checkbox** -- persistent per-track flag, auto-checked on
announce. Can be toggled manually.
- **Copy to clipboard** -- one-click copy of a formatted track line.
- **Send IRC Message** -- ping a nick or channel with a custom message through
all connected bots. Default target and message are configurable via
`NTR_PING_TARGET` / `NTR_PING_MESSAGE`.
Enable by setting these environment variables:
| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `NTR_WEB_USER` | *(required)* | Dashboard login username |
| `NTR_WEB_PASSWORD` | *(required)* | Dashboard login password |
| `NTR_SECRET_KEY` | *(required)* | Secret key for cookie signing |
## IRC Commands
Both Sopel and Limnoria plugins expose the same commands:
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `!1`, `!2`, ... `!N` | Track by position in the current week's playlist |
| `!song <episode> <position>` | Track from a specific episode's playlist |
| `!playlist [episode]` | Current week's playlist, or a specific episode |
| `!lastshow <position>` | Track from the previous week's show |
| `!status` | API health, poller status, and track count |
| `!refresh` | Trigger a manual SoundCloud fetch (admin only) |
## IRC Plugin Setup
Both plugins require the `websocket-client` package for live announcements:
```bash
pip install websocket-client
```
