Support Reserve California camp grounds about camply HOT 7 CLOSED

I'm very interested in adding support for ReserveCalifornia. Looks like it's quite different of a layout.

I'd be happy to start poking at this. Any recommendation @juftin for how you would want this structured?

Oh very nice. Here's a very rough guide for implementing a new "Provider" with camply:

1. Implement a new BaseCampingSearch class:

   camply/camply/search/base_search.py

   Line 44 in 7b64c22

   class BaseCampingSearch(ABC):

• The BaseCampingSearch super class handles the high level interactions to do things like filter results to only weekends, look for consecutive nights, etc
• This is an AbstractBaseClass that only requires you to define a single function: get_all_campsites which returns a list of AvailableCampsite data objects given the search parameters provided to the class
• Here's an example of the Yellowstone implementation:

  camply/camply/search/search_yellowstone.py

  Line 21 in 7b64c22

  class SearchYellowstone(BaseCampingSearch):

2. Embed a BaseProvider into the newly created search class - this is used inside the BaseCampingSearch instance to actually search and create the camply.containers.AvailableCampsite objects

• This is the class where you define how to interact with the API of the Camping provider.
• Here's an example of the Yellowstone Provider:

  camply/camply/providers/xanterra/yellowstone_lodging.py

  Line 29 in 7b64c22

  class YellowstoneLodging(BaseProvider):

Hopefully this makes sense - if I were to totally rewrite camply today I might structure it differently, so maybe there's a way to do this better. I'm happy to help put things together as progress gets closer on the BaseProvider class as well

Another note on how I parse results from the API: I use a custom pydantic.BaseModel class (CamplyModel) all over camply - it's a hashable data container class that defines core data containers like AvailableCampsite and CampgroundFacility but it also really helps to parse JSON responses from API's. Here's an example similar to what I'm doing in https://github.com/juftin/camply/blob/7b64c22994d4c9472317230b59b98da98eb224b9/camply/containers/api_responses.py.

import datetime
from enum import Enum
from typing import Dict

from camply.containers.base_container import CamplyModel

raw_campsite_api_response = {
    "campsite_id": "12345",
    "campsite_name": "example campsite",
    "campsite_availabilities": {
        "2022-03-05": "available",
        "2022-03-06": "unavailable",
        "2022-03-07": "unavailable",
        "2022-03-08": "unavailable",
        "2022-03-09": "available"
    },
    "campsite_location": "Anywhere, USA",
    "_non_useful_metadata_field": "sdcsad123431"

}


class ReserveCAAvailabilityOptions(str, Enum):
    available = "available"
    unavailable = "unavailable"


class ReserveCACampsiteResponse(CamplyModel):
    campsite_id: int
    campsite_name: str
    campsite_availabilities: Dict[datetime.date, ReserveCAAvailabilityOptions]
    campsite_location: str


easy_to_use_response = ReserveCACampsiteResponse(**raw_campsite_api_response)

That script defined our API response schema using pydantic, converted the raw dictionary into a data object using just the fields we defined, performed validation on the data provided and converted the string variables using python typing, and makes the data available in a way that's easy to code:

for datetime_obj, status in easy_to_use_response.campsite_availabilities.items():
    if status == ReserveCAAvailabilityOptions.available:
        print(f"{datetime_obj.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')} is available for camping!")

👋 thanks for making Camply! I'm also interested in Reserve California. Any update on this?

from camply.

Here's another scraper that uses reserve_ca: https://github.com/ggydush/campsites - this is python based!

At long last, I'm finally looking into implementing ReserveCalifornia. It's been tricky - but I've made some really amazing progress. https://github.com/ggydush/campsites has been super helpful - I ended up using a few APIs I haven't seen there or anywhere else as well. I'll have more to say here soon ✨

ReserveCalifornia is ready! https://juftin.com/camply/providers/#reservecalifornia

@bryanwhiting @stjohnjohnson @magic7s I'd love your thoughts once you get around to using it. I tried testing it out on a number of Rec Areas and Campgrounds - but it could definitely use some more testing to make sure it supports all of ReserveCaliforna. Happy camping ⛺!
