ApartiBot - Your personal apartment search assistant

ApartiBot is a Telegram bot that aggregates apartment listings from different sources and sends them to you. The bot is currently in development and only supports the following sources:

• OLX
• Otodom

How to use

To start using the bot, you need to have a Telegram Bot Token. The token is fetched from the environment variable TELEGRAM_APITOKEN:

TELEGRAM_APITOKEN=your_token_here go run apartment-parser

Systemd

In order to run the bot as a systemd service, you need to create a service file in the /etc/systemd/system/ directory with <name>.service name:

[Unit]
Description=Binary to start a telegram bot responsible for parsing Olx and Otodom apartment offers.

Wants=network.target
After=syslog.target network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
Environment="TELEGRAM_APITOKEN=<TOKEN>"
ExecStart=<BINARY_PATH>
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10
KillMode=process

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Make sure to replace <TOKEN> with your Telegram Bot Token and <BINARY_PATH> with the path to the binary file.

You can verify if systemd can find the service by listing all available services:

sudo systemctl list-units --type=service

Also, you can check the status of the service:

sudo systemctl status <name>.service

After creating the service file, you need to reload the systemd daemon and start the service:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start <name>.service

Also, you can enable the service to start on boot:

sudo systemctl enable <name>.service
