Bulk Operations Tools for ParkPow

Stream CSV Upload

Use this script to upload existing CSV files and images from Stream to ParkPow

Get Script

1. Download the script from GitHub,
2. Open a terminal window on your operating system and navigate to parkpow/upload-csv folder then run below command to build the Docker image:

docker build --tag platerecognizer/stream-csv-upload .

Create and Run upload Container

The script will use your Stream config to get camera IDs and ParkPow webhook details, so you need to mount your stream config.

docker run --rm --net=host -t -e LOGGING=DEBUG  -v /home/stream:/user-data platerecognizer/stream-csv-upload

If your CSV has only new data that might not already exist on the ParkPow server, save processing time by skipping checking for duplicates using -i option:

docker run --rm --net=host -t -e LOGGING=DEBUG  -v /home/stream:/user-data platerecognizer/stream-csv-upload -i

danger

The script requires $(camera) to have been used in defining path to CSV output to re-trace the camera ID

Enable DEBUG logging by adding -e LOGGING=DEBUG
