A Python bot monitors a Berlin apartment-search query on eBay Kleinanzeigen, filtering new listings by criteria like rent, room count, and district. It notifies the user via Slack and automatically sends a predefined contact message to promising ads. Built with Selenium for browser automation and the requests library for Slack webhook delivery, it stores visited ads in a JSON file to avoid duplicate outreach.

AI-generated description

To use this bot:

  • Download ads_bot.py and requirements.txt.
  • Type pip install -r requirements.txt to install the requirements.
  • Fill out the required information in the Python file.
  • Ideally, create a (free) Slack account and set up a web hook to receive notifications from the bot.
  • Run the script :)
  • Relax and be ready to answer incoming calls :D

This example automates a complete administrative workflow in a Django-based booking and inventory system. It logs into the admin panel at demo.hireablehq.com, creates a booking, manages stock requests, orders selected items, and navigates through inventory, logistics, and consignments. The script uses Selenium WebDriver with Firefox, relying on methods like `find_element_by_id`, `find_element_by_xpath`, `Select`, and explicit clicks to drive the browser. It demonstrates functional testing of a web application’s UI by simulating user interactions with the admin interface.

This example shows a dynamic, browser-automated web-scraping workflow that captures rendered page content. It uses Selenium’s `webdriver` to launch a Chrome browser, wait for elements via `WebDriverWait` and `expected_conditions`, and then extracts page HTML with BeautifulSoup. The script programmatically sends keyboard inputs via `Keys`, and also employs the `requests` library for direct HTTP calls. It parses the returned data with `json`, timestamps actions with `datetime`, and structures results into a pandas DataFrame. The process includes randomized delays (`random` and `time`) to mimic human browsing behavior, though no explicit visualization or rendering library is used beyond the raw captured markup.

This example automates the creation of training teams on the Sorare fantasy football platform, showing a scripted workflow that logs into the site and iteratively assembles lineups from available player cards. The code uses Selenium WebDriver to drive a Chrome browser, with helper functions that toggle filter settings (such as excluding or including "Commons" and "Next Game" availability) and click through the interface to select players. The process runs until no more valid teams can be formed, then moves to the next matchday. The visualization demonstrates browser automation for repetitive data-entry tasks, relying on explicit XPath selectors and timed waits to interact with dynamic page elements.

This example automates interactions with William Hill’s betting site using Selenium WebDriver, specifically targeting two promotional games: “Free or Four” and “Scratch of the Day.” The script logs in via environment variables for credentials, then navigates to each game’s URL, clicks through modal popups or iframes, and triggers the game’s main action—such as clicking a card or a summary button. The code relies on explicit XPath selectors and waits, while using Chrome in headless mode. It demonstrates UI automation for repeated tasks, though it does not show any data visualization or rendering API.

Twitter autoresponder bot

This example shows a PHP Twitter autoresponder bot that monitors the Twitter Search API for specific keywords and automatically replies to matching tweets. The code uses the PECL OAuth extension to authenticate with Twitter API 1.1, performing searches for configured terms like "over 9000" and posting responses via the statuses/update endpoint. It tracks the last replied-to tweet ID in a local file to avoid duplicates, verifies account credentials, and includes command-line OAuth authorization for initial setup.

Automation with AWS Lambda

This example shows how to automate data scraping and publishing to an S3 bucket using AWS Lambda. The Python handler function calls a scraper, processes the returned data, and uploads it as a JSON file to a specified S3 path with public-read access. It uses the `boto3` library for S3 interactions, `json` for serialization, and `os` for path handling. The setup also demonstrates local testing via `service.py` and deployment through the Python-lambda tool, with CloudWatch Events scheduling for recurring triggers.

Scripts for getting the full list of Github users (get_all_github_users.py) and for retrieving the details of these users (get_github_user_details.py) using the Github API.

Two Python scripts demonstrate how to query the GitHub API for a complete list of all user accounts. The first script, `get_all_github_users.py`, paginates through `https://api.github.com/users` using the `requests` library, handling rate limits and writing each user ID to a JSON file. The second, `get_github_user_details.py`, uses `multiprocessing` with a pool of five processes to fetch detailed profile information for each user via HTTPS connections to `api.github.com`, saving the results incrementally. Together they show batch data harvesting from a REST API with concurrency and rate-limit awareness.

Apartment Search

This visualization displays a dataset of apartments as a faceted browsing interface, with each record represented by a row sorted by minimum cost and searchable by name. Users can filter results through left, middle, and right panel summaries for attributes like state, city, Yelp score, included utilities, and type, while details such as address and external links to Zillow, Yelp, and Apartments.com are hidden until zoomed. The code uses Google Sheets as the data source via a gdocId and applies transformations like `DATETIME` and `SPLIT` during loading. It relies on the KSHF configuration format to define panel layouts and record display, though it does not use D3 or Three.js.
