generate_space_batch.py

# GOAL: this code creates an .sh file which allows you to run the Webex Space Archive script
#       for ALL of your spaces.
# version: 0.1
# Space archive script:     https://github.com/DJF3/Webex-Message-space-archiver/
# How to run it? 
#       0. install python requests ("pip3 install requests")
#       0. check python version "python3 -V" - should be 3.10 or above
#       0. download 'webex-space-archive.py' from the github url above.
#       0. get your Webex dev token: https://developer.webex.com/docs/getting-your-personal-access-token (login)
#       1. Edit this file:
#           a. put your ACCESS_TOKEN in this variable _OR_ 
#              (optional) set the token in an environment variable: (MacOS): export WEBEX_ARCHIVE_TOKEN='TOKENHERE'
#           b. edit variable archive_script if the archive .py file is different than webex-space-archive.py 
#       2. In a terminal window:         python3 generate_space_batch.py
#              this will generate a file called "webex-space-archive-ALL.sh" and display the content.
#       3. (optional) Edit the generated .sh script to remove spaces you don't want archived.
#       3. Execute the generated script: sh webex-space-archive-ALL.sh
# NOTE: that when the .sh file is executed it will use the standard .ini file for the configuration. (what to download, max files, etc)
# Tested on Macos 14.6.1 and Python 3.12.
