This simple example app uses webhooks to get notified of new Markdown files in Dropbox. It then converts all Markdown files it sees to HTML.
Read more about webhooks and this example on the Dropbox developers site.
You can try the example yourself by visiting mdwebhook.herokuapp.com.
This sample was built with Heroku in mind as a target, so the simplest way to run the sample is via foreman:
- Copy
.env_sampleto.envand fill in the values. - Run
pip install -r requirements.txtto install the necessary modules. - Launch the app via
foreman startor deploy to Heroku.
You can also just set the required environment variables (using .env_sample as a guide) and run the app directly with python app.py.
