Purpose
This script scrapes the Warwick Accommodation page in order to update you whenever the page changes. The page typically says (before it opens) that the applications are not yet open, thus, when this is no longer the case (or whenever the page changes at all, for extra caution), the script (the "sniper") can send out a message.
Setup
Go to a directory where you want to install the sniper, and do these commands:
git clone https://git.kovachev.xyz/kiril/WarwickAccomSniper
cd WarwickAccomSniper
python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
After that, the setup should be ready and you should be able to run the scripts.
Usage
The script is currently quite limited, but you can access it through the cli_sniper.py entry point.
To wit:
python cli_sniper.py
It will only notify you via a terminal output at this stage. A Discord bot is in the works.
