fundgrube hack from terminal 😈

Hi Simon,

Thanks for sharing and thanks for the feedback! I did not know about httpie but I immediately installed it. That looks like a real time saver. 😍

It's funny that I had also originally intended to use the problem with curl & jq in a bash script and run it regularly with crontab. My exact use case is to query for new Postings regularly and to be alerted when new Postings are matched. To be honest, I went with the Golang solution because I haven't used it in years and I always wanted to try it out on my raspberry pi. 😅

Anyways, I'm a big friend of bash and you inspired me to quickly hack and share my initial idea.

• The script also iterates over outlets since the API does not support offset > 990.
• Pagination is not supported because I have never seen >100 postings in an Outlet.
• It saves discovered deals in a "DB file" per search term and should only discover "new Postings".

Run the thing in a crontab and alert about discovered postings via mail and it does fulfil the requirements of my initial use case. 🙂

If you intend to tinker with the API yourself I have documented my findings in https://github.com/RomanNess/fundgrube-crawler/tree/786291daa899c46ad4e44cd117802663b69a69ef#api-peculiarities.

I was thinking of good-old Gnu MailUtils for alerting from bash. 😅
