A small question: Do I have to run this tool every time there's a new free game? #8

Do I need to run it every time there's a new game or the tool already takes care of that by re-running every x minutes?

claabs commented 4 years ago

The script is configured to run daily by default. You can customize it with the CRON_SCHEDULE variable. https://github.com/charlocharlie/epicgames-freegames-node#environment-variables

Nice. How many times in needs to login? If I set it to every let's say 5 minutes, it will login everytime or it will remain logged?

Also epic games store is done due over usage. This error is caused by that right?

Yep, we're lucky it gets even that far 😄. It'll try again tomorrow, or if you have RUN_ON_STARTUP enabled, you can just restart the container when the site is back up.

@charlocharlie Actually it shouldn't work since only Chromium based browsers are not working since they are blacklisted. Other ones work like charm e.g Firefox. Or even the rest library from python
