butilka123 / steamgifts-bot Goto Github PK

When creating a build, we need some kind of tests to ensure the code is able to run.

Suggestions are welcome.

Hi butilka123,

i forked your bot to an Dockerized version for private use , with some small changes like cookie check, priority pages and configurable (random) wait amount.
You can take a look if you want.

Your bot is running very well, i really like it ^^.

have a nice day

It looks like the website is now answering in gzip.

The Code is not able to decode this yet.

Scenario:
Bot has finished with the first Page of Games but still has point left.

• The bot will, in the current state, get the page every 2 minutes and waste request limits
• There is a need for pagination. If the first page is empty, go to the second page, and so on. Also, a use case where no giveaways are available to enter to prevent errors

The next step is to make the bot run permanently. To insure this, the bot first has to be able to run without crashing.

Some examples that make the bot crash:

• HTTP Response code is not 200
• Turning off VPN during "Game entering" phase
• The file reader can also cause problems

Any suggestions are welcome.

Note: the method how this bot scrapes websites make this a lot harder. If the website is changing stuff, we will have to manually change code to make it work again.

Currently, the bot is not able to check if the cookie is expired. The bot will run in a loop sending requests.
