ebayKleinanzeigenAlert - (ebAlert)

Small CLI program that will send you a Telegram message for every new posts on the specific links of the Ebay Kleinanzeigen website.

No API required - Only URL of the query.

Install

• Download folder or clone
• cd yourself to the main directory
• create a telegram bot -> https://core.telegram.org/bots
• Hard code your telegram API key and messageID in the telegramclass.py file.
• Install or run straight from the directory.
  • install with pip install .
  • run with python -m ebAlert

Usage & Example

• ebAlert links [opts] to show, add, remove links

• ebAlert links --help to get list of options for the links

• ebAlert start to start receiving notification

• ebAlert links -a "https://www.ebay...k0l9354r20" This assumes that you just had a look through the web page already, so no notification will be send.

• Typically, this would be run as a cron job on an hourly basis.

Requirements

• A telegram bot API token and your personal conversation id
• Python 3
• click, requests, bs4 and sqlalchemy (arguably sqlalchemy is a little overkill for that purpose)
