+# codescrape
+
+Version 1.0
+
+By: Nathan Adams
+
+License: MIT
+
+## Description
+
+This library is to be used to archive project data. Since with the announcement of Google Code going to archive only - I wanted to create a library where you can grab source data before it is gone forever.
+
+Use cases include:
+
+Archive projects due to:
+
+- Hosting service shutting down
+- Authorities sending cease-and-desist against provider/project
+- Historical/research/ or educational purposes
+
+## Usage
+
+Currently srchub and google code are supported. To use:
+
+    from services.srchub import srchub
+    shub = srchub()
+    projects = shub.getProjects()
+	
+or for google code
+
+    from services.googlecode import googlecode
+    gcode = googlecode()
+    project = gcode.getProject("android-python27")
+	
+Sourcehub library will pull all public projects since this list is easily accessed. Google Code does not have a public list persay. And I didn't want to scrape the search results, so I developed it to require you to pass in the project name. If you were to get your hands on a list of google code projects you could easily loop through them:
+
+    from services.googlecode import googlecode
+    gcode = googlecode()
+    for project in someProjectList:
+	    project = gcode.getProject(project)
+        # do something with project
+		
+the project data structure is as follows:
+
+project
+
+- getRepoURL() -> Returns the URL of the repo
+- getRepoType() -> Returns the type of repo (git, hg, or SVN)
+- getReleases() -> Returns all downloads related to the project
+- getIssues() -> Returns open issues
+- getWikis() -> Returns wikis
