Clickitat

Lightweight application that clicks the links in an email message given the subject of said email.

Note

• Works only with GMail accounts
• Clickitat is not secure -- I recommended that you use Clickitat only with test gmail accounts
• Clickitat will open the links for the first email it finds, so unique subjects are encouraged

Quick start example

1. Pick a GMail account to use. We'll use clicki.example@gmail.com with password 6adpas5W0rdfor this example.
2. Send an email with links in it to clicki.example@gmail.com. We'll use one with a subject of ClickitatEmailWithLinks.
3. Create an API key. We'll use ABCD1234 for this example. You should use one with more entropy.
4. Create file config/config.local.yml with clicki.example: 6adpas5W0rd
5. bundle install in the clickitat directory
6. export clickitat_api=<your_api_key>
7. bundle exec rackup in the clickitat directory
8. curl -vvv -H "Authorization: ABCD1234" 'http://localhost:9292/openclick?username=clicki.example&subject=ClickitatEmailWithLinks' >> output.html
9. open output.html
