eurlex.js

eurlex.js is a command line utility to retrieve documents (specifically: regulation drafts) of several supported languages (de, en and fr for now) from the EUR-Lex website and convert them into JSON. It is made with node.js and can be installed locally via npm.

Install

eurlex.js can be installed using npm:

npm install -g eurlex

Of course you must have node node.js with npm installed.

eurlex.js works fine with Linux, *BSD and Darwin, but never was tested with Win32.

Usage

Once installed you can use eurlex on the command line:

eurlex [options] <EUR-Lex URI>

You get a brief description of all the options with

eurlex --help

If you are curious what it looks like to get and convert something, try:

eurlex -vu -l de,en,fr COM:2012:0011:FIN -o eurlex-test.json
