Zuap is a web scraper used to make the apartment hunt around Zurich a bit easier (although it can really be used to search for apartments anywhere). Zuap combines web scraping with the discord API to quickly inform you about any new insertions posted on any of the included websites.
If you do not want to host your own version of Zuap, you can simply join the already existing Discord server to use all the features.
Before installing the app, you will need:
- A Discord server and the channel ids for your main channel (where the insertions will be posted) and a logging channel
- A Discord application and the corresponding secret token
- Maven
- At least JDK 18
To install this app you need maven. Clone the repository onto your local machine using git. You then need to create a .env file in the root project folder
which should contain your secret discord API token (do not publish), as well as the channel IDs for the main (used to post new insertions) and the logging
channel (used for programm logs) of your Discord server. The format should look exactly like this:
TOKEN=YOURTOKENHEREWITHOUTQUOTES
MAIN_CHANNEL_ID=IDHERE
LOG_CHANNEL_ID=IDHERE
You can then compile the project using mvn clean install. Afterwards run java -jar target/Zuap-jar-with-dependencies.jar in a terminal to execute the program.
