api_token and api_url

Hello Joshua

Where I could find api_token and api_url?

I opened the developer tool in Chrome to find requests at https://idbl.ab.bluecross.ca/idbl/drugDetails. But I could not find my api_token and api_url.

Hi Jeremy,

To my knowledge, there is currently no API to interface with the iDBL. This repo works entirely off web scraping the data out of the iDBL.

The API token and URL in this case refer to where the scrapped data is stored. In my case, this script stores it via a Django API. It's been a while since I've touched this, but those details are probably here: https://github.com/studybuffalo/studybuffalo under the api and drug_price_calculator apps. The token was generated via Django and then used with this script. Disclaimer up front: this repo is a personal project and documentation is almost certainly lacking.
