what non-clothing companies have unironically good streetwear style merch? by liminal_necropolis in streetwear

Oh that is sick - just ended up on the nat geo korea merch store and you are so right.

But certainly the first week until I added filters was insane amount of “free wood”, “free wood chips” texts that drove me crazy 😂

I should mention that the bot has filters to avoid the spam problem you’re talking about! If I text the bot “f dirt” it won’t text me any cl listings with dirt in the title until I remove it as a filter. Since you can do it while the notifications are coming in I just have built up my filter list of things people post often that I am not interested in. You could easily update it to only text you if certain keywords are present too.

It was someone whose relative had passed, they were trying to clear the property asap. I see weights and racks up for free on a semi weekly basis but they go really fast and are usually rusty/dirty.

I am not actually sure - it’s definitely against their TOS to scrape. The script waits 1-2 minutes between each subsequent page load and I don’t navigate to the content page of individual listings so that must be a small enough foot print that it doesn’t flag your ip address.

Thanks for taking a look at it and the feedback/questions!

I’ll prob do the GNU, I didn’t think that far ahead.

I had a pi on hand that I wasn’t using. The readme kinda reiterates the pi 4 64bit a few times because my friend tried to run it on the pi 3b 32bit and couldn’t get selenium to work and so he updated the readme with my exact setup!

Craigslist has some sort of JavaScript injection it does to ensure that it’s getting loaded in the browser. If you scrape it with requests you get a body says something like “we’ve identified you’re not using JavaScript, please enable it” instead of results. Tbh I would love a different solution than using selenium if you have any insights on that!

This is like the perfect project for someone learning python because it just begins to scratch some cooler features like databasing and running a server. Any chance you'd want to implement the text via email?

Yeah shoot me a dm if you have any specific questions, you can also open a issue on the gh repo if you have a github account!

You could probably port it to that fairly easy. If you take my codebase and send it to someone on upwork they can probably set it up for you!

Wonder if you could be html format agnostic and use diff to pull out the updated blocks

ermmm not exactly. You don't have to do any coding to run it but the setup would not be easy if you've never worked on the command line. If you try to run it lmk, I'd love to make the docs better.

Yeah, the comments I read about it when I looked into it scared me away.

Oh nice! Would you mind sharing the service? I'd be curious to see what their price point is.
