TooGoodToGo favourites notifier

Python script notifying if an item becomes available in your favourites on TooGoodToGo

It works by fetching the available favourites from TooGoodToGo, checking against saved items in list.json if they have been sent a notification, if not it will send them according to your notification method. Finally, it saves the new available favourites in list.json for the next run

Works with at most 400 favourites (API limit)

Installation

This script should be ran using a task scheduler (such as cron) to check availability periodically using this command:

python3 tgtg-notifier.py

Requirements:

• Python 3
• tgtg (TooGoodToGo API)
• pytz (to handle timezones)
• currency-symbols (to display currency correctly)

Connecting your TooGoodToGo account

Using the tgtg package, you can retrieve your user_id and an access_token (more info on tgtg's pypi page) using:

client = TgtgClient(email="YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS", password="YOUR PASSWORD")
client._login()
print("user_id: " + client.user_id)
print("access_token: " + client.access_token)

You can then write them in the beginning of the script here:

# https://pypi.org/project/tgtg/
client = TgtgClient(
    access_token="",
    user_id=""
)

Adding your notification method

In this part of the code you can add your custom notification method instead of the print() statements. It's up to you to choose how you wish to be notified (by email, with a push notification, etc...)
