Generate Analytics Report

Setup

You'll want to download all of this code locally. The easiest way to do that is cloning the repo.

$ git clone https://github.com/KeithGalli/generate-analytics-report.git

If you have any trouble doing this, you can download the zip folder of this repo and then extract the files to a local file. Once you have all the files cloned locally, you should make sure you have all the necessary libraries installed.

$ pip install fpdf
$ pip install pandas numpy matplotlib
$ pip install plotly
$ pip install -U kaleido

If you run into an error with NumPy, changing the version to 1.19.3 fixed the issue for me

$ pip install numpy==1.19.3

To test if everything is set up properly, try running python generate_report.py. You should get a fresh report file. You'll have to change helper.py to read from the online version of the data if you want to access the previous day (uncomment the BASE_PATH URL and comment BASE_PATH='./data'). You will also have to comment out the hard coded date at the bottom of generate_report.py file. I saved it this way so not too many unneccesary requests to the GitHub server were made while testing.
