nextmove-notifier 🚗⚡

Monitors nextmove.de for new EV rental deals and sends Telegram notifications.

What it monitors

• Last-Minute-Angebote — discounted rent gap offers (via API)
• Kostenlose Überführungsfahrten — free one-way test drives (via HTML scraping)

Setup

1. Create a Telegram Bot

1. Open Telegram, search for @BotFather
2. Send /newbot, follow the prompts
3. Copy the bot token

2. Get your Chat ID

1. Send any message to your new bot
2. Visit https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_TOKEN>/getUpdates
3. Find "chat":{"id": 123456789} in the response

3. Install

git clone <this-repo> && cd nextmove-notifier
bash install.sh
nano /opt/nextmove-notifier/.env   # paste your token + chat ID

4. Test

/opt/nextmove-notifier/run.sh

You should see log output and (on first run) Telegram messages for all current offers.

How it works

Every 15 minutes (via cron):

1. Fetches current rent gap offers from nextmove booking API
2. Scrapes the Überführungsfahrten page
3. Compares against previously seen offers (state.json)
4. Sends Telegram messages for anything new
5. Updates state.json
