@F64Consignatie

This is NOT in any way an official F64 or Twitter product.

A twitter bot (@F64Consignatie) that keeps a watchful eye on the used photo gear (watching all their suff is just too much) sold by F64.

Motivation

Being a shutterbug myself I like the chance to take advantage of great photography gear deals but have little lime to check websites like this on a daily basis. I also like to develop shiny new things. Since I use Twitter as a source of information and have little time to check photo gear sellers on a daily basis why not combine both to save time?!

Installation

1. Download the latest release
2. Extract the archive (zip / tar.gz)
3. Install the requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Fill out the configuration file with your twitter info
5. Create a cron job to run the bot at a certain interval crontab -l | { cat; echo "0 * * * * cd /home/pi/f64; python main.py"; } | crontab -

Todo

• Add error handling
• Process product titles to remove useless data
• Add auto-follow feature to spread awareness
• Drop dependency to cron
• Use a real database when things get big
• Add functionality to track product status (in stock/out of stock/etc)
