This is a simple python script that will scan a provided marktplaats page at time intervals and send you a push notification using pushover. Yes I know marktplaats has a notify button to notify you about new listings, but as far as I can tell that's a day overview, so this is more useful for sniping deals.
- BeautifulSoup4
pip install beautifulsoup4 - selenium
pip install selenium - requests
pip install requests - chrome webdriver download
- pushover account
You will need to make some minor changes to the config.ini file in order for the script to work.
- In the config file you need to set the pushover token and user key. These can both be gotten from pushovers site (the app token is registered here)
- Then set the path to where you keep the chrome webdriver
- Finally provide the marktplaats page that you want to scan (I recommend sorting on newest listings first)
When creating your app on pushover you can upload an image, I chose to upload the marktplaats icon for aesthetics (This image is property of Marktplaats B.V.)
In no way is this script linked to Marktplaats B.V. It has been made as a fun project, the script only crawls one page every 30 minutes as in to no way cause strain on servers. The script should not be modified (besides the needed variables in the config.ini file)
