Auckland Motor Camera

A project by wcmckee.

This script I run as a cronjob every minute in order to keep the json file updated. It logs into the infoconnect highway cameras. This is a xml file. I am not a big fan of working with xml files. I can do it, but I'd rather json. This gives me access to my

artcontrol.me
