A very simplified price watcher for Fjordline's ferry services. It only considers the the main ferry price without taking into account the cabin setup or breakfast/dinner reservations.
The pure intend for creating this software was to find price changes when planning a trip to Norway with **Team Krivit International Fishing**. Since he requirements for every trip are so unique (at least different dates, etc.), we have decided to not ship with any example configuration. Instead, please follow the [Bring your own Configuration](#bring-your-own-configuration) section for more info on how to tailor this to your needs.
It can fetch the economy prices for the German, Norwegian and Danish API's (Spoiler: The norwegian is typically the cheapest option). These can be run individually using npm scripts or using PM2 in cron mode - which in turn will write 3 log files, one for each locale.
To install all dependencies, run the following command in the project root:
npm install
Since the request is very specific to your needs, you'll need to provide you own journeyConfig.json, which then will be used as request payload for the Fjordline getJourneys endpoint.
The best way to capture the request payload is to visit their booking page and enter the details for the first 2 steps. Then, with the Browser Developer tools open, search for the getJourneys request and copy the request payload. Store this as journeyConfig.json in the project root and you should be good to go.
If you only want to run it once, use one of the npm scripts available.
German API
npm run fetch:de
Danish API
npm run fetch:dk
Norwegian API
npm run fetch:no
Run all sequentially
npm run fetch:all
To run these scripts, we leverage PM2's cron functionality, configured in ecosystem.config.js.
Start the server via
pm2 start
