AvitoOffersNotifier

Telegram bot which helps you to track avito.ru for new offers. Currently, the bot is offline, but you can host it in your own. Example of notifications from telegram bot:

Dependencies

To host by yourself, you need to have linux server with Python 3.11.5 and PostgreSQL installed.

Installation and run

First, clone the repository to your machine where you want host the telegram bot and go the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/jakefish18/AvitoOffersNotifier
cd AvitoOffersNotifier

Second, it is not a required step, but I highly recommend to create venv/ for the project

python3 -m venv venv/
source venv/bin/activate

In case you have fish shell:

python3 -m venv venv/
source venv/bin/activate.fish

Third, install the requirements

pip3 install -r requirements.txt 

Fourth, create a .env file in src folder and fill it using .env.example as an example:

# Bot config.
BOT_TOKEN = ""
BOT_LOGS_FILEPATH = "" # Path to some 'bot.log' file.

# Proxy config.
# Do not change if no proxy.
PROXY_HTTP = ""
PROXY_HTTPS = ""
PROXY_CHANGE_URL = ""

# Database config.
DATABASE_HOST = "127.0.0.1"
DATABASE_NAME = ""
DATABASE_USERNAME = ""
DATABASE_PASSWORD = ""
PATH_TO_SQL_QUERIES = "" # Specity the full path to the /sql_queries/ folder with / at the end.

# Parser config.
CLIENT_NOTIFIER_LOGS = ""

As you can see, you need to get the bot token from BotFather and create a postgresql database. Also, create and specify the full paths to the .log files.

Last, run the bot:

cd src
python3 main.py
