🔧 Node.js Command-Line Tool

For JavaScript developers, here's a Node.js implementation.

javascript
#!/usr/bin/env node
/**
 * aéPiot CLI Tool
 * Generate backlinks from CSV files using Node.js
 */

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

class AePiotCLI {
  constructor() {
    this.baseUrl = 'https://aepiot.com/backlink.html';
    this.results = [];
  }

  encodeURL(title, description, url) {
    const encodedTitle = encodeURIComponent(title);
    const encodedDesc = encodeURIComponent(description);
    const encodedUrl = encodeURIComponent(url);
    
    return `${this.baseUrl}?title=${encodedTitle}&description=${encodedDesc}&link=${encodedUrl}`;
  }

  async processCSV(inputFile, outputFile) {
    console.log(`📂 Reading ${inputFile}...`);
    
    // Read CSV (simple parsing)
    const content = fs.readFileSync(inputFile, 'utf-8');
    const lines = content.split('\n');
    const headers = lines[0].split(',').map(h => h.trim());
    
    const titleIdx = headers.findIndex(h => h.toLowerCase() === 'title');
    const descIdx = headers.findIndex(h => h.toLowerCase() === 'description');
    const urlIdx = headers.findIndex(h => h.toLowerCase() === 'url');
    
    console.log(`🔄 Processing ${lines.length - 1} rows...`);
    
    for (let i = 1; i < lines.length; i++) {
      if (!lines[i].trim()) continue;
      
      const values = lines[i].split(',').map(v => v.trim().replace(/^"|"$/g, ''));
      
      const title = values[titleIdx] || '';
      const description = values[descIdx] || '';
      const url = values[urlIdx] || '';
      
      if (!title || !url) continue;
      
      const aepiotUrl = this.encodeURL(title, description, url);
      
      this.results.push({
        title,
        description,
        original_url: url,
        aepiot_url: aepiotUrl
      });
    }
    
    // Export
    console.log(`💾 Saving to ${outputFile}...`);
    this.exportCSV(outputFile);
    
    console.log(`✅ Generated ${this.results.length} backlinks`);
  }

  exportCSV(outputFile) {
    const headers = Object.keys(this.results[0]);
    const csvContent = [
      headers.join(','),
      ...this.results.map(r => headers.map(h => `"${r[h]}"`).join(','))
    ].join('\n');
    
    fs.writeFileSync(outputFile, csvContent, 'utf-8');
  }

  generateSitemap(outputFile = 'sitemap.xml') {
    const xml = [
      '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>',
      '<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">'
    ];
    
    this.results.forEach(result => {
      xml.push('  <url>');
      xml.push(`    <loc>${result.aepiot_url}</loc>`);
      xml.push(`    <lastmod>${new Date().toISOString().split('T')[0]}</lastmod>`);
      xml.push('  </url>');
    });
    
    xml.push('</urlset>');
    
    fs.writeFileSync(outputFile, xml.join('\n'), 'utf-8');
    console.log(`📍 Sitemap created: ${outputFile}`);
  }
}

// CLI Interface
const args = process.argv.slice(2);

if (args.length < 2) {
  console.log('Usage: node aepiot-cli.js <input.csv> <output.csv> [sitemap.xml]');
  process.exit(1);
}

const cli = new AePiotCLI();
cli.processCSV(args[0], args[1]).then(() => {
  if (args[2]) {
    cli.generateSitemap(args[2]);
  }
});

Usage:

bash
node aepiot-cli.js input.csv output.csv sitemap.xml

📊 Excel/Google Sheets Integration

For non-programmers, spreadsheet formulas can generate backlinks.

Excel Formula

excel
=CONCATENATE(
  "https://aepiot.com/backlink.html?title=",
  ENCODEURL(A2),
  "&description=",
  ENCODEURL(B2),
  "&link=",
  ENCODEURL(C2)
)

Where:

  • A2 = Title
  • B2 = Description
  • C2 = URL

Google Sheets Formula

=CONCATENATE(
  "https://aepiot.com/backlink.html?title=",
  ENCODEURL(A2),
  "&description=",
  ENCODEURL(B2),
  "&link=",
  ENCODEURL(C2)
)

Google Apps Script for Bulk Generation:

javascript
function generateAePiotLinks() {
  const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  const lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
  
  // Assuming: Column A = Title, B = Description, C = URL, D = Output
  for (let i = 2; i <= lastRow; i++) {
    const title = sheet.getRange(i, 1).getValue();
    const description = sheet.getRange(i, 2).getValue();
    const url = sheet.getRange(i, 3).getValue();
    
    if (title && url) {
      const encodedTitle = encodeURIComponent(title);
      const encodedDesc = encodeURIComponent(description || '');
      const encodedUrl = encodeURIComponent(url);
      
      const aepiotUrl = `https://aepiot.com/backlink.html?title=${encodedTitle}&description=${encodedDesc}&link=${encodedUrl}`;
      
      sheet.getRange(i, 4).setValue(aepiotUrl);
    }
  }
  
  SpreadsheetApp.getUi().alert(`Generated links for ${lastRow - 1} rows!`);
}

function onOpen() {
  SpreadsheetApp.getUi()
    .createMenu('aéPiot Tools')
    .addItem('Generate Links', 'generateAePiotLinks')
    .addToUi();
}

To Use:

  1. Open Google Sheet
  2. Tools → Script Editor
  3. Paste code above
  4. Save and refresh sheet
  5. Use "aéPiot Tools" menu
