A quick and dirty node project to scrape Kijiji for keywords and send the results by email in a quick, easy-to-read digest.
Input some search queries, some mailgun credentials, and you're good to go!
Personally, I will be running this as a cron-job on a raspberry pi and having a digest sent to me everyday at 8am.
git clone https://github.com/MattMcMurray/KijijiDigest.git
npm install # or yarn
cp .env.example .env # then edit keys as appropriateMAILGUN_API_KEY=************************************ # self explanatory
