Finn distance-filter

Dependencies

To enable usage of the gmail api you need to generate a credentials.json file. You can get it from https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/quickstart/nodejs by clicking the button "Enable the Gmail API". Save file credentials.json in the root folder of the project.

Install npm dependencies with npm i (node is required, install Node from https://nodejs.org/en/download/ if you do not have it)

Before you can run the program

Gmail account

Set up a new gmail account. Forward emails from Finn.no to the new gmail account OR create a new account at Finn.no using the gmail account and turn on email notifications.

Create a label for emails from Finn.no

The Finn distance-filter works by looking for mails with a custom label. Create such a label for all incomming emails from Finn.no (https://support.google.com/mail/thread/13836359?hl=en)

Set up a config for your distance filter

Open src/config.ts and set the following properties:

• finnSearchGmailLabel - the gmail label you created to mark emails from Finn.no
• forwardResultsToMail - email address you want to forward the results to
• filters - set your filters using an adress name, lat/lon coordinates, and the maximum duration (in seconds) of the trip to this address.

To run the program

node start

First time you run the program you will be asked to sign in to your gmail account. Just follow instructions.
