Yes, it's open source. Here's the link [1].

I'm sure there's some sort of rule against posting code this bad on HN, bit worried it'll get my hacker status revoked :). Was a total Ruby n00b when I wrote this (still am) - haven't even worked out how to handle offsets in the Etsy API.

Anyway, it does a good job of creating Jekyll collection items from Etsy listings – here's the site I'm building with it, though it's still a work-in-progress [2].

for what it is and does it's pretty alright... I mean it's a simple script to munge some data and there isn't much more you need to do with it. you don't need fully well thought out full object oriented solution with a bunch of error handling and stuff for a scraper doing 100 records at a time. one nit is that ruby generally doesn't use tabs and only uses 2 spaces.
