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.

3. File Structure

.
├── check_coupon.py
└── .github/
    └── workflows/
        └── check.yml

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.
