🥊 UFC Fight Notifier

Welcome to the UFC Fight Notifier! This script allows you to receive email notifications about UFC events, such as when a specific fight is about to start or has ended. It uses web scraping to get real-time data from the UFC website and sends alerts directly to your email.

🚀 Features

• Receive notifications before a UFC fight starts.
• Get notified when a specific fight ends.
• Easy setup and configuration.

🛠️ Prerequisites

Before using this script, ensure you have the following:

1. Python 3 installed. 🐍
2. Required packages installed (listed below).
3. A Gmail account for sending notifications. Refer to this tutorial for help setting up a Gmail account: YouTube tutorial.

📦 Installation

1. Clone the repository or copy the script to your local machine.

2. Install the necessary Python packages using pip:

   git clone https://github.com/garantf/UFC-Notifier.git
   cd UFC-Notifier/
   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Edit the creds.py file containing your email credentials:

   email_user = "your_email@example.com"
   email_password2 = "your_app_password"
   email_receiver = "receiver_email@example.com"

   Note:

   • email_user is the email that will send the notifications.
   • email_password is the App Password for your Gmail account, not your account password.
   • To receive SMS notifications instead of an email, check your mobile provider's email-to-SMS gateway. For more information, visit this website.

⚠️ Important: The script uses Gmail's SMTP server for sending emails. Ensure you have App Passwords enabled on your Google account.
