Create an epub from JSON data
Hello
I want to create an ebook filled by JSON data The source is an json api URL, one per day https://api.aelf.org/v1/messes/AAAA-MM-DD/france It contains the french biblical lectures of the day. I want to get an epub containing the lectures for the next 3 months, a page per day and some formatting to highlight the titles and so on. I don't think there is a quick way to extract and transform this 90 jsondata files. I want the operation to be redone easily eevry 3 months. I am considering writing scripts to get the data and reformatting them. either by using MSWord or OOWriter and creating an unique docx file I will then convert to epub with Calibre. either by using notepad++ and creating a unique or 90 html files to be converted in epub; I am not very familiar with scripts or macros, but genererally I can find advice and solutions. Wich way will you advice or perhaps a better other way ? Thanks per advance Villard |

Salut !
If I was planning to do this, I would use python to get the json data and generate the html files and the table of content. Then I would use sigil to wrap all this into an epub. That would be way more easy to maintain (and probably to use) than having do deal with graphical editor (notepad/libreoffice) macros. |

Thanks to Pierre, I've succeeded to do it with Python only : I get the json data, construct one html file containing all the pages, integrate to Calibre and make Calibre convert the html into epub.
