Primary LanguagePython

Welcome to the script that will save your life!

Hey, have you ever had felt the pain of searching for that perfect flat in https://njuskalo.hr? When you find it it is too late. Someone else was pressing F5 faster than you and all that precious time wasted (not the ring here)

How to run this script

First you would need to have python installed of course. After that you will need to have pip installed.

  1. pip install beautifulsoup4
  2. pip install requests

After that you can just hit in the console: python2.7 main.py &

File constants.py

The file constants.py holds all the constants necessary for the script to run:

  1. PAGE: the page you would like to scrap. Make sure the page is ordering the results by newest
  2. FILE_LOCATION: the location of the file that will be used to store the latest item scanned
  3. FILE_NAME: the name of the file mentioned above
  4. SECONDS_TO_CALL_FUNCTION: how many seconds interval you would like to run the script (less seconds makes you have more concrete results - therefore being able to see ad first - but make sure not to bombard njuskalo website).

I do not support the usage of this script to illegal activities. This script was made purely for academical purposes.
