Development setup

Follow the steps to setup the project

Prerequisites

Install Python3 from here

Make sure you have > python 3.11 Installed

Installation

 pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the script

 sh script.sh

If you want to run the script priodically every 1 minute, you need to run a cron job to run the sh script.sh command, what I recommend is to setup an EC2 instance on AWS (I work at AWS :P) or use a droplet on digital ocean.

crontab -e

*/1 * * * * sh ~/daft-bot/script.sh
# SPECIFY THE LOCATION OF THE SCRIPT 

1. Make sure you have Python3 installed
2. Have the correct version of selenium driver for Chrome. Link
3. Convert .env.example files -> .env with relevant data

Commands for running the script

# This would run the script with default values
python daft_bot.py 

# This would update the cache without applying to any places
python daft_bot.py --bhk 2 --noop true


# This would use cached values on daft while applying
python daft_bot.py --bhk 2 --fast True
