Readme for vooblystats.sh

Voobly website scraper written in POSIX shell! Of course sh is not ideal for parsing html, but I suck at understanding the python3 requests library documentation.

Use the config file to set username and password. I implemented the config file so I can exclude secrets for this scm repo.

This is more of a library of functions to be used for whatever you want, as long as it scrapes the webpages from voobly.com. I use it to list my friends and me, then all the games in our history, and then pull all the stats for those games.
