FCP Games Notifier

FCP Games Notifier is a small project, which consists of a scrapper integrating with Twilio to send an SMS whenever F.C. Porto is playing on its stadium. As I've noticed that during football day games, subway gets a little too much overcrowded. As I'm not a football fan, I never know when it's going to be game day. I felt the need to find a way to know when Porto was playing at home without having to check daily.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

  • Golang installed on your computer
  • Valid Twilio account

Building

In order to compile the code into one binary file just run:

go build -o fcp-games-notifier bin/main.go

Deployment

To use this in a live system you need to setup three environment variables:

  • FCP_GAMES_NOTIFIER_RECIPIENT_NUMBER - The SMS recipient phone number, E.164 phone number format.
  • TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID - Twilio specific account identifier.
  • TWILIO_ACCOUNT_AUTH_TOKEN - Twilio specific account authentication token.

To have the binary being executed daily you can use:

00 9 * * 1-5 . /root/.bashrc; /root/fcp-games-notifier

The above will execute every working day at 9:00. You can costumize the cron per your needs / desires.
