Every month I participate in the New to You Geeklists on BoardGameGeek and after a while I realized that the research I was doing was easily reproduced by a script, hence this repository.
First and foremost, you'll need at least Ruby 1.9.2 due to Nokogiri. After that, you should use bundler to install the required gems:
bundle install
You might also have to change permissions to make the script executable:
chmod +x bgg-new-to-you.rb
Once everything's loaded, run the script like so:
./bgg-new-to-you.rb --username <your_username>
By default the script will retrieve plays for the past month, if you need to pick a different month or year you can:
./bgg-new-to-you.rb --username <your_username> --month 7 --year 2012
