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.
- Receive notifications before a UFC fight starts.
- Get notified when a specific fight ends.
- Easy setup and configuration.
Before using this script, ensure you have the following:
- Python 3 installed. 🐍
- Required packages installed (listed below).
- A Gmail account for sending notifications. Refer to this tutorial for help setting up a Gmail account: YouTube tutorial.
-
Clone the repository or copy the script to your local machine.
-
Install the necessary Python packages using pip:
git clone https://github.com/garantf/UFC-Notifier.git cd UFC-Notifier/ pip install -r requirements.txt
-
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.
