stjohnjohnson/reddit-watcher repository overview

⁠Reddit Watcher

Watches specific subreddits (/r/mechmarket) for items matching a specific pattern.

⁠Running the Bot

Running the bot is easy! You just need a Telegram token that you can get from the BotFather⁠.

Once you have that, start up your server with the following command:

docker run -v `pwd`/config:/config stjohnjohnson/reddit-watcher:latest --token ${TELEGRAM_TOKEN}

In this example, I'm running the container with settings being saved to a local directory.

⁠Using the Bot

The bot responds to private or group messages that look like a command (start with a /).

⁠Notification

⁠/buying <keyword>

Look for items matching that keyword that are being bought. Sold means the listing includes "cash" or "paypal" in the "have" field.
