This tool looks for matches on RedFlagDeals.com forums and will send push notifications via apprise.
This was originally written before alerts existed. With rfd-notify, alerts never expire and support regular expressions.
- either poetry, docker, or github actions
The simplest way to get started is to clone this repo, and run with docker:
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)/examples/config.yml:/app/config.yml" $(docker build -q -t rfd-notify .)
To run the code with poetry, clone this repo and run the following:
poetry install poetry run python rfd_notify/cli.py -c examples/config.yml
The following environment variables are required:
| VARIABLE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| APPRISE_URL | See supported notifications. |
Pass a list of expressions to be used for discovering deals:
# config.yml expressions: - pizza - starbucks - price error
Commiting the pickled data (previous_matches) back into the repository is a bit of a hack, but allows for a simpler setup.
An action can be setup to scan for deals, send a notification and store previously found deals in the repo.
The following workflow requires an APPRISE_URL secret.
# .github/workflows/rfd-notify.yml on: schedule: - cron: "*/5 * * * *" jobs: rfd_notify: name: rfd-notify steps: - name: Checkout uses: actions/checkout@v4 with: sparse-checkout: | config.yml previous_matches - name: git pull run: git pull - name: Run rfd-notify uses: davegallant/rfd-notify@main env: APPRISE_URL: ${{ secrets.APPRISE_URL }} - name: Commit and push changes run: | git config --local user.email "actions@github.com" git config --local user.name "RFD Notify" git add previous_matches git commit -m "Update previous_matches" -a || true git push
Create a scheduled pipeline to run on a regular interval.
With Gitlab Pipelines, the following configuration works:
#.gitlab-ci.yml default: image: name: ghcr.io/davegallant/rfd-notify:2 entrypoint: [""] run: cache: - key: previous_matches paths: - previous_matches script: - python /app/rfd_notify/cli.py -c config.yml
