Getting Started

Tested on Windows but i don't see why it should not work in Linux

On the first run the program will create a settings.ini file Here is a example config

Example Config

[DEFAULT]
headless = true
interval = 30
url = https://www.studentbostader.se/sv/sok-bostad/lediga-bostader?actionId=&omraden=&egenskaper=SNABB&oboTyper=#&pagination=0&paginationantal=1000#
crashreportnotification = True

[Pushbullet]
enabled = True
firstpushbullet = False
token = o.ojfs9hjsehf3420i529562h34hu9234
emails = myEmail@domain.com,my2Email@domain.com

[Twilio]
enabled = true
firsttwilio = False
accountsid = ybdsahusdhqrhu3hurh9q3re3
authtoken = uh41hu43pfdhnufh223uh4r2
fromphonenumber = +46numberhere
tophonenumbers = +46numberhere,+46numberhere

Twilio is for receiving the info by SMS P.S you can get free trial with more then enough balance Pushbullet is for receiving the info with a push notification on your phone

Running the program

Run direktbostader.py

First time running a module(twilio/pushbullet) you should recive a welcome message on the service to check that it is working Example "You will now receive a Pusbullet when a apartment becomes available on the provided link"

This how the program should look when running. Updating the current time when it checks(currently every 30 seconds) Image of how the program should look
