How it works

  • Once the service is started it checks the site every hour for any ads matching the search criteria
  • the search criteria are described in a file called search.json
  • Every time it does a search it adds any new posts that match the criteria to persistent storage
  • All stored posts are measured for how long they stay up in order to gather data about what kinds of posts sell the fastest
  • Any stored post can be either temporarily filtered out of the current result displayed or permently removed (added to a blacklist) to exclude from further tracking
