Dodgers Panda Express Coupon Checker

This GitHub Actions automation checks if the Los Angeles Dodgers won a home game yesterday, which means the Panda Express DODGERSWIN coupon is likely active today. If so, it sends an alert to a Discord channel via webhook.

---

Features

• Checks the MLB Stats API daily at 6 AM PT
• Sends a Discord alert only if the Dodgers won a home game
• Uses a simple Discord Webhook (no bot token or hosting required)
• Includes a debug mode for local testing
• Runs entirely via GitHub Actions (no server or manual cron setup needed)

---

How It Works

1. The script (checker.py) queries the MLB Stats API for the Dodgers’ game from the previous day.
2. If the Dodgers:
   • Played at home, and
   • Won the game
3. A message is posted to your configured Discord webhook stating the coupon is likely active.

Setup Instructions

1. Create a Discord Webhook

1. Open your Discord server and navigate to the desired channel.
2. Go to Settings → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook.
3. Name the webhook (e.g., "Dodgers Coupon Bot") and copy the Webhook URL.

2. Add the Webhook to GitHub Secrets

1. In your GitHub repository, go to: Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions.
2. Click “New repository secret”.
3. Set the name to DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL.
4. Paste in your Discord Webhook URL.

GitHub Actions Workflow

The workflow is scheduled to run automatically every day at 6:00 AM Pacific Time:

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 13 * * *'  # 6 AM PT
  workflow_dispatch:        # Enables manual execution from the GitHub UI

You can also manually run the workflow from the GitHub Actions tab.

---

Local Debug Mode

In check_coupon.py, set:

DEBUG = 1

This will:

• Print internal information to the console
• Always send a message to the webhook, regardless of outcome
• Use a hardcoded webhook instead of reading from secrets

Set DEBUG = 0 to disable verbose output and restrict alerts to only valid coupon conditions.

---

Requirements

Only one external Python dependency is required:

pip install requests

Example Output

If conditions are met:

Dodgers won at home on 2025-07-13. Coupon likely active today.
