You need something that will act like a screen scraper. One possibility is wget, which is available for Linux, and I hear also for windows. Another possibility is to use an equivalent within a programming language library and write a program. The cloud that I was using did not allow executing shell commands like wget, there is an equivalent library for python. So, I had to refresh my python skills. The downloaded file is an unreadable serialized binary. You will need to download protoc, which google provides. I decided to forego the available protobuf files and do a raw decode. You will now have a text file that you will have to read and work with. |
