Telegram bot that notifies the user when a new 2dehands listing that corresponds to their search was added to 2dehands.
The only requirement is having the requests library installed.
pip install requestsMake a new file in the main directory called config.py with the following structure:
config = {
'token': '',
'chat_id': '',
'url': 'for example https://www.2dehands.be/lrp/api/search?attributesByKey[]=Language%3Aall-languages&limit=100&offset=0&query=iphone&searchInTitleAndDescription=true&sortBy=SORT_INDEX&sortOrder=DECREASING&viewOptions=list-view'
}To add a new bot on Telegram, start a conversation with @BotFather and send the message /newbot. Choose the desired name of how you want your notifier to be called aswell as the desired username. Copy the token and paste it in the config.py file.
To obtain the chat_id of the chat you want your bot to be in, add your freshly created bot to a group, send a message to this group starting with /, go to api.telegram.org/bottoken/getUpdates and there you can get the chat_id (I followed this guide).
Add in following url https://www.2dehands.be/lrp/api/search?attributesByKey[]=Language%3Aall-languages&limit=100&offset=0&query= the product you are looking for&searchInTitleAndDescription=true&sortBy=SORT_INDEX&sortOrder=DECREASING&viewOptions=list-view, the product you are looking for, copy the url and paste in into your config.py file.
Start the bot by running the script.py file.
