Carousell Telegram notifier.

Carousell Telebot

Telegram notifier for snatching the best deals on Carousell.

Why?

Yes.

How does it work?

Carousell uses Fluxible for server-side rendering (SSR). This is very nice because we can parse the React props in the <script> tag as JSON to a Python dictionary.

The nested objects that this project need have the keys of "productsMap" and "PRODUCTS_BROWSE". They happen to be valid JSON (no functions as values) so we can treat it as such and use the json.loads() function.

How do I run this myself?

1. Download this repository

2. Run this in the terminal:

python3 -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/env
. env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py

3. Talk to your bot. Listen to a keyword with the command:

/listen <keyword>

credentials.json format:

{
  "bot_token": "INSERT_BOT_TOKEN",
  "chat_id": 12345215
}

Where can I get my chat_id?

Try changing the handler code to print(message.chat.id).

Can I follow multiple keywords?

Not now.

I would like to hire you.
