This is a webscraping project, a bot I created to search for first-come-first-served housing in Lausanne, where the website didn't have a proper api or date filtering search function.

It is an automated housing availability search bot.

I stopped refining this as I found housing in Stockholm and decided to attend KTH instead.

Create a .env file with the following keys:

• FMEL_USERNAME - Username to the FMEL website
• FMEL_PASSWORD - Password to the FMEL website
• USER_KEY - Pushover user key
• APP_TOKEN - Pushover app token

After saving the file in the root directory, simply run main.py, and leave it running as long as you wish for it to search for housing.

The program consists of 3 python scripts:

login.py - Contains the webscraping specific to the FMEL website, all the navigation and HTML parsing etc.

main.py - Contains the loop that runs the check in regular intervals.

notify.py - Contains the function that sends a notification to the "pushover" application on my phone.
