Script to get your logged time from RescueTime

Script to get your productive time info from RescueTime API

How to use

1. Get your API key from RescueTime. It will be good to create a new API key.
2. Save it to:
   • C:\Users\%username%\.rescuetime (on Windows)
   • ~/.local/share/rescuetime.key (on Linux and Windows)
   • any other path. Pass this path as the -k or --key parameter to the script
3. Install dependencies:
   • local virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv .venv
   source .venv/activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt

   • user global package cache:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the script:

python main.py [OPTIONS]

I renamed the old script to __legacy.py, so you could use it.

1. Get your API key from RescueTime. It will be good to create a new API key.
2. Save it to:
   • C:\Users\%username%\.rescuetime (on Windows)
   • ~/.local/share/rescuetime.key (on Linux and Windows)
   • any other path. Pass this path as the -k parameter to the script
3. Install dependencies via pip:

pip install --user colorama requests

4. Run the script
