API for adding content to the Kolibri content curation server
Project description
ricecooker
The ricecooker
library is a framework for automating the conversion of educational content into
Kolibri content channels and uploading them to Kolibri Studio,
which is the central content server for Kolibri.

Overview of Kolibri content
ricecooker
is used to take openly licensed educational content available on the
web and convert it into an offline-friendly package that can be imported into Kolibri.
The basic process of getting new content into Kolibri is as follows:
- UPLOAD your content to Kolibri Studio either manually through the Kolibri Studio
web interface or programmatically using a
ricecooker
-based content integration script. - PUBLISH the channel on Kolibri Studio to make it accessible for use in Kolibri.
- IMPORT the the channel into Kolibri using the channel token displayed in Kolibri Studio after the PUBLISH step is done.
The diagram below illustrates how content flows within the Kolibri ecosystem
and highlights the part which is covered by the ricecooker
framework (bottom left).
External content sources (left) are first uploaded to Kolibri Studio (middle), so they can be used in the Kolibri Learning Platform (right).

The Ricecooker docs website is the best place to learn about writing automated content integration scripts.
Here are some links to other documents and guides you can read to learn about the other parts of the Kolibri content platform:

======= History
0.6.46 (2020-09-21)
- Add
ricecooker.utils.youtube
, containing utilities for handling and caching YouTube videos and playlists. - Improve validation of
m
andn
mastery model values inExerciseNode
.
0.6.45 (2020-07-25)
- Remove SushiBar remote monitoring and remote command functionality
0.6.44 (2020-07-16)
- Documentation overhaul and refresh, see
ricecooker.readthedocs.io <https://ricecooker.readthedocs.io/>
__ - Add support for specifying a Channel tagline
- Ensure we send
extra_fields
data for all node types - Make
--reset
behavior the default - Remove legacy code around
compatibiliry_mode
and BaseChef class - Improved caching logic (no caching for thumbnails and local paths, always cache youtube downloads)
- Ensure chefs clean up after run (automatic temp files removal)
- Added
save_channel_tree_as_json
full channel metadata as part of every run. - Added support for web content archiving
- Further improvements to logging
- Bugfix: deep deterministic cache keys for nested dicts values in
ffmpeg_settings
0.6.42 (2020-04-10)
- Added
--sample N
command line option. Run script with--sample 10
to produce a test version of the channel with 10 randomly selected nodes from the full channel. Use this to check transformations are working as expected. - Added
dryrun
command. Use the command./sushichef.py dryrun
to run the chef as normal but skip the step where the files get uploaded to Studio. - Added HTTP proxy functionality for YouTubeVideoFile and YouTubeSubtitleFile
Set the
PROXY_LIST
env variable to a;
-separated list of{ip}:{port}
. Ricecooker will detect the presence of thePROXY_LIST
and use it when accessing resources via YoutubeDL. Alternatively, setUSEPROXY
env var to use a list of free proxy servers, which are very slow and not reliable. - Improved colored logging functionality and customizability of logging output.
0.6.40 (2020-02-07)
- Changed default behaviour to upload the staging tree instead of the main tree
- Added
--deploy
flag to reproduce old bahavior (upload to main tree) - Added thumbnail generating methods for audio, HTML5, PDF, and ePub nodes.
Set the
derive_thumbnail=True
when creating the Node instance, or pass the command line argument--thumbnails
to generate thumbnails for all nodes. Note: automatic thumbnail generation will only work ifthumbnail
is None.
