# rfd-notify
This tool looks for matches on [RedFlagDeals.com forums](https://forums.redflagdeals.com/hot-deals-f9/) and supports [apprise](https://github.com/caronc/apprise) push notifications.
This was originally written before [alerts](https://www.redflagdeals.com/alerts/) existed. With rfd-notify, alerts never expire and support regular expressions.
## Prerequisites
- either [poetry](https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry), docker, or github actions
- a free [SendGrid API key](https://sendgrid.com/pricing/) is suggested for email notifications
## Usage
The simplest way to get started is to clone this repo, and run with docker:
```sh
docker run -it -v "$(pwd)/examples/config.yml:/app/config.yml" ghcr.io/davegallant/rfd-notify:1
```
To run the code with [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/), clone this repo and run the following:
```shell
poetry install
poetry run python rfd_notify/cli.py -c examples/config.yml
```
### Environment Variables
The following environment variables are required:
| VARIABLE | DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| APPRISE_URL | See [notifications](https://github.com/caronc/apprise#productivity-based-notifications). |
## Example Configuration
Pass a list of expressions to be used for discovering deals:
```yaml
# config.yml
expressions:
- pizza
- starbucks
- price error
```
## Github Action
An action can be setup to scan for deals, send a notification and store previously found deals in the repo.
It also requires the corresponding [encrypted secrets](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/encrypted-secrets) setup.
```yaml
# .github/workflows/rfd-notify.yml
on:
schedule:
- cron: "*5 * * * *"
jobs:
rfd_notify:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
name: rfd-notify
