cron-affinity #

This script is supposed to go into your cron file to poll FurAffinity for nofications and push them to you via a Telegram bot.

Please set a respectful interval to not spam FurAffinitys servers #

This script scans https://www.furaffinity.net/blm/ (which you should give a read btw!) for sake of causing the least possible SQL queries, but it still is a non-0 load on their servers. Let's show our appreciation for the FurAffinity teams hard work and not cause them an extra headache!

Settings #

Configuration is done via the "settings" file next to the script, it includes the following variables:

Setting Description
bot_token This is your Telegram bot token you get from the Botfather after creating a bot.
Don't EVER share this, this goes in the settings file and never in any chats.
chat_id This is the chat ID between you and the bot after you did /start on your own bot or added it to a group (why?).
To get this ID, send the bot a message and run curl -s https://api.telegram/bot[YOUR TOKEN]/getUpdates
notify_for This sets what to notify for, the letter for each type of notification just needs to be in here somewhere.

Example 1: SCJWFN would notify for everything, it can also be WFNJCS or whatever, this changes nothing
Example 2: CN would notify for comments and notes only
Example 3: S would only notify for new submissions

Cookies.txt #

Another necessary file is your cookies.txt in netscape format, exporting this depends on your browser and you will probably have to Google how to do it, otherwise the script does create the minimum necessary file for you to fill out.
