Iron Blossom Web Scraper

A web scraper of the Iron Blossom Lodge Timeshares for Sale website that sends an email when a new Timeshare unit is posted for sale.

How It Works

It checks for changes of week 22 postings. At the moment, this includes when postings are changed or removed.

How to Run

You'll need to have Python 3 with the following modules installed: requests and Beautiful Soup (bs4). Once you have those, run this:

python scraper.py -wn <week_num> -te <email_to_send_notifications_to> 

Example:

python scraper.py -wn 22 -te [email protected]

You'll also need the following environment variables set:

export google_app_password=<app_password> # you can create this from your google account that you will use to send the email. it's free
export google_from_address=<email>

The script will run until you end it with a standard KeyboardInterrupt (ctrl+c if running in standard terminal)

Where To Run It

I have it running on a tmux session on a Raspberry Pi, but you could have it running on any server such as an EC2.
