A simple listing watcher used to scour listings on Ebay and sends text messages via Twilio when bids are almost up. Specify a search entry to search on Ebay, a maximum bid price along with a max with shipping, and the number of milliseconds before the auction is over to be notified as well as your phone number.
To get this to run, note that you must have your TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID
and TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN
to have Twilio to work as noted in their documentation. TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER
, the Twilio phone number the text message is sent from must also be set.
