+"""This script programatically iterates over each
+item in the bwb purchase receipt and update the archive.org item with the
+correct `book_price`.
+
+NB:
+- This script requires manually inputting the password for our bwb account.
+- The script automatically fetches + processes the latest receipt (no
+  choice is provided)
+
+Background:
+When a book is sponsored, a stub-item is created on Archive.org with
+the format archive.org/details/isbn_{isbn}. Metadata is written into
+the item, such as the price the patron has paid for the book (in
+cents), i.e. `est_book_price`. Once the book is purchased, we write
+back this number into the archive.org item's metadata as `book_price`
+(cents). We used to do this manually. Then we discovered that from
+betterworldbooks.com/account (when logged in) there is a way to get a
+json feed of all of the prices, and update IA items using @jake's tool.
